Ranking New Releases and Preorders, Week of 21 July

filed under , 22 July 2008, 22:08 by

I used to post a new release list, nominally every week and in point of fact at least 2 (and often 3) weeks a month.

I also used to spend less than 15 hours a week compiling data for an online manga ranking that is of questionable accuracy, usefulness, or popularity. (I like it. YMMV)

Anyway… given the timesuck that is the charts, the last thing I really want to do each week is spend another two hours on data entry for information that is readily available elsewhere. Oh, sure, I use to post non-fiction titles in some not-quite-related but cool categories like film studies, art, art technique, and general fan culture — but that was typically my only contribution and addition to what boils down to the weekly Diamond Shipping List.

(And I can do a quarterly or perhaps even monthly post on new academic titles — I’d like to do the same for science fiction. RocketBomber is only a few weeks old yet; give me time, and I’ll find a place for both.)

In the meantime, I do have this great hulkin’ database that does get updated on a weekly basis. It’s kind of like taking the giant robot through the drive-thru to pick up a burger, but if one happens to own a giant robot, why not?

##

Before I do a pull from the listings for a pseudo-new-release post, let’s just cover the objections:

1. It’s not complete.

Yep. Like I said: that data is available elsewhere.

2. You only track Publication Date by month, not by week; doesn’t that mean the post in week 4 will have quite a few more titles in it than week 1?

Yep. But: I don’t see that as a problem, and I’m cut’n‘pasting ‘em so it won’t take any more of my time — it certainly isn’t the same sort of drag as typing in all the Tokyopop and Viz titles used to be. (…which also resulted in a glut of titles toward the end of the month, coincidentally enough)

3. You’re posting online pre-orders as well. Does this mean that you intend to post the weekly online sales ranking for, say, Yotsuba&! vol 6 — a book that isn’t even out yet and with no scheduled release date — week in and week out until ADV finally manages to release it?

Yes.

4. New Releases typically come out on Tuesday (at bookstores) or Wednesday (at comic shops, as we all know). When are you going to post your new release rankings?

I’ll flip that around: when would you like them?

My database gets updated continuously, but the cycle is set for finished reports on Sunday afternoons (which collect the online sales rankings for the previous two weeks). I could post this on Monday mornings, with the rest of the charts, or the Friday of the week before, or Saturday nights, or whenever. The spreadsheet doesn’t care.

Unless someone would care to comment, I’ll pull this data from the charts weekly on Tuesday evenings… much like this Tuesday Evening, in fact. And since we’re quite a bit closer to the end of the month than the beginning, this list will be fairly heavy on the July ’08 releases.

[Edit 12:15pm 23 July: been mulling the formatting for a bit, decided to add a top 10 to each category — we all love top 10 lists — and changed some formating for clarity.]

[note: release data on Tokyopop titles is provisional, at best, as they’re doing… whatever it is they’re doing. Corrections are welcome; the data as posted is what I found on line, and in some cases dates may have changed… and in some cases future Tokyopop titles may have been canceled. I’m doing my best just to keep up with sales & preorders — T’pop is giving me a migraine trying to keep up with their changing autumn release calendar.

Spotlight: Dark Horse

filed under , 20 July 2008, 21:15 by

I’m using my manga charts to look at the output of select publishers —

covered previously: Aurora Publishing, ADV Manga, CMX

Today the spotlight is on

Dark Horse

One could argue that without Dark Horse, there wouldn’t be a US Manga Industry.

I’m not saying it’s 100% true, or even mostly right, but the point is eminently debatable. Back before the first boom (2004-2006), before the US edition of Shonen Jump (2003), before Mixx [later known as Tokyopop] started publishing Sailor Moon (1997), there was Mike Richardson going to Tokyo and signing artists for his little start-up comics company.

Well, let’s let them tell it:

Around 2001, the comics market changed dramatically as traditional bookstores developed a strong and growing interest in comics in the form of graphic novels. Fueling this newfound interest was manga—that is, comics imported from Japan. Dark Horse was twenty years ahead of the market, having published manga from its second year of operation. Dark Horse president Mike Richardson began visiting Japan regularly in the early nineties and has cultivated many friendships with the creative talent there. As a result, Dark Horse publishes manga by the most respected creators in Japan. The list includes Koike’s Lone Wolf & Cub (over 1,000,000 copies sold) and Crying Freeman; Otomo’s Akira; Shirow’s Ghost In the Shell; Nightow’s Trigun; Tezuka’s Astro Boy; Samura’s Blade of the Immortal; Sonoda’s Gunsmith Cats; and America’s longest running manga series, Oh My Goddess, by Fujishima.

Near as I can figure, among those earliest books were the first edition hardcovers for Appleseed — but I can’t find 20 year old listings to verify that [but others can: see comment #4 from DocWatson] or to discover the other manga in their archives (someone remind me to ask DH personnel at a convention some time). Early efforts must have been successful because six or seven years later, in the mid-90s (note, still pre-Mixx) manga-as-we-would-now-recognise-it (trade paperback graphic novels) started coming out of Dark Horse, the earliest among them (as noted above) Oh My Goddess, Gunsmith Cats, and Ghost in the Shell.

Dark Horse also gets credit (or the blame) for what is now called OEL manga — though at the time they were just publishing comic books and no one thought to make a big deal out of them or to try and sign up impressionable young artists with sucker-bet-contracts. There is the critically-acclaimed Usagi Yojimbo from Stan Sakai, and the critically-… um, well they also cobbled together something called Dirty Pair — which has American artists working with characters originally appearing in a Japanese OVA. (There never was a Dirty Pair manga in Japan.) Oh, and Star Wars Manga. Yes, if you didn’t know already, there were 12 volumes of Star Wars Manga, 4 for each of the original 3 movies.

[the sucker-bet-contract bit is a crack at Tokyopop, obviously — just to be clear, Dark Horse doesn’t trick or trap anyone, so far as I know, and in fact is noted for the care (and generosity) with which it treats its creator clients]

A word or two about manga from Dark Horse’s Carl Horn (from 2007) — and you should also read what Shaenon Garrity has to say about Carl
and Carl also has a listing on Wikipedia — oh wait, wrong Carl Gustav… hm… unless he has mastered time travel. I wouldn’t put it past him.
…and from a bit further back: An interview (from 2006) with Dark Horse’s Michael Gombos at Dark, But Shining

and on to the charts:

I have 192 representatives from Dark Horse on the full chart (of 3,232 volumes as of 20 July: so, about 6% of the total). Let me see if I can parse those even further into more-easily-managed chunks:

buy ‘em now, if you can find them: as noted elsewhere (credit Chris Butcher for the scoop) DH lost the Akira license, so there won’t be reprints (from Dark Horse, anyway).

Berserk, Vampire Hunter D, Hellsing, Ghost in the Shell, Trigun, and Akira are all notable because each also has a well-known anime adaptation. These can also all be considered to be of a type: Dark, Horror-tinged, Action stories — well, Trigun is not-so-dark, it’s a sci-fi western set on an accidentally-colonized desert planet where ill-prepared humanity hangs on by it’s fingernails, and the main character Vash is a wanted criminal because he destroys whole towns… hm. Maybe it does belong with the others. (But it’s funny, too. ;p I liked it.)

There is one other ‘headliner’ of course, with multiple anime series to her credit:

609. ↓-165 (444) : Oh My Goddess! 29 – Dark Horse, Apr 2008 [23.7] ::
622. ↑366 (988) : Oh My Goddess! 9 – Dark Horse, Jun 2008 [21.7] ::

. (last ranked 6 Jul 08) : Oh My Goddess! 30 – Dark Horse, Aug 2008 [0] ::

Oh My Goddess is the longest running manga series — in the States, at any rate — and Dark Horse is sure to mention that any time it can. Why, even in the one paragraph I quoted above they managed to squeeze that factoid in. The series is ranked 204th overall.

Other than Historical Epics, Horror and Action manga are the niche genres Dark Horse is best known for — though untangling these two can be difficult: Is a title moreso action-packed fast-paced horror, or a blood-splattered horror-tinged action comic? Beats me.

Some of the fantasy/historical titles below could easily be placed in either category above as well, if it weren’t for the obvious sword-play and samurai elements. Speaking of:

Lone Wolf & Cub: been out for 6 years (8 years for the first volumes) and is still selling.

DH was so successful with Lone Wolf & Cub that they made a point of licensing anything else in that genre, or by writer Kazuo Koike, or by artist Goseki Kojima.

Personally, I think I like some of the historical fantasy at least as well as the samurai epics, if not more. (If nothing else this exercise has reminded me again of Bride of the Water God, and given me a couple other titles to check out soon)

Remember Harlequin manga? Of course you don’t. No one does, and yet, it exists — like some random bit of cross-dimension flotsam washed upon our shores by the time quake that almost fractured the multiverse back in aught-five (wait… ’05? I thought that was in AUC 2758… dammit, which universe am I stuck in this time?)

moving on…

And now I’d like to present a dramatic recreation, from last week when the volume in question first appeared on my charts:

Haibane Renmai manga? Aw shit yeah, where’s my credit card?”

…but you know, that’s how I roll. (and I’m still waiting for delivery of said volume)

Before I close out (and honestly, this has been a long haul so I don’t know if I have any conclusions) let me just say that Translucent is an excellent series that isn’t getting enough attention.

##

I’m taking these in roughly-alphabetically order (a fact you might have already sussed), which means next Sunday—perhaps sooner—I’ll be tackling Del Rey and/or DMP. In between now and then I think I might highlight some of the smaller, 3rd-tier publishers with this same sort of treatment; not a full-on ‘spotlight’ perhaps, but enough to bring some new titles (and new companies) to your attention.

And maybe I can post one or two conclusions after all:

Dark Horse has always innovated. They’ve gone out on limbs, carved out new markets where they didn’t really exist before, nurtured and rewarded talent, and cultivated relationships even when it didn’t seem to make sense for the bottom line.

Doing well by folks is always good for the bottom line. Making a buck is fine, and money is one of the points of the exercise, but business is about relationships. This is a point that Mike Richardson gets; even if he’s never put it into words in that exact way, it shows in his actions, and through his company. My only complaint about Dark Horse Manga is that there isn’t enough of it.

(Well… and maybe I have some questions about Cannon God EXaXXion, but questions aren’t quite the same as complaints.)

Me, vs. ICv2

filed under , 14 July 2008, 22:10 by

ICv2, venerable (in web terms, 7 years and counting) source for information on all things fannish, recently released their latest Guide to Anime & Manga, and while I haven’t received my copy yet, there is a teaser already up on the ICv2 website, featuring their ‘top manga properties of Spring 2008’.

And you know, I’m reading that and I start thinking (arrogant, cocksure, and proud) “Hey wait, I’ve a Spring 2008 Manga Database and a brand-spankin-new series calculation, heck, I could do that

[*chuckle*]

ICv2 not only has access to Nielsen Bookscan data [bastards] but also employs their own fancy maths in reconciling the Bookscan numbers with Diamond Distribution figures and they do a damn fine job tracking the comics and graphic novels. But. At least in so much as how (and where) they sell as arbitrary categories Manga ain’t Comics and when it comes to manga, I’ll put my leaky, hand-built goldbergian lumbering spreadsheet against the the best of ‘em.

##

SO, ICv2: You have (presumably) a staff doing market research, actual retail sales numbers, knowledge and methods beyond my ken, journalistic standards, expertise, experience and credence in the industry, and a fine reputation — plus that fancy web site of yours.

And I’ve got a web browser, search engines, a twelve-pack, a serious contender for the World’s Most Convoluted Spreadsheet Evar, and a burning desire to know — and, you know, this *thing* that seems to output text-to-the-web well enough but isn’t winning any design awards…

Did I mention the twelve-pack of beer? Hell, I’ll take ya.

FIGHT:

ICv2 Top 10 Manga Properties—Spring 2008

1. Naruto
2. Fruits Basket
3. Death Note
4. Bleach
5. Vampire Knight
6. Negima
7. Fullmetal Alchemist
8. Pokemon
9. Absolute Boyfriend
10. Tsubasa

I see your ten and raise you forty:

Spotlight: ADV Manga

filed under , 10 July 2008, 17:29 by

I’m using the rankings (numbers for the week ending 6 July posted Tuesday) to look at the output of selected publishers — Covered Previously: Aurora Publishing. Today’s spotlight is on

ADV Manga

So, what’s up with ADV manga? Who do I have to threaten, bribe or cajole to get my copy of Yotsuba vol 6?

We have had relatively recent confirmation that ADV Manga isn’t dead: Brigid Alverson interviewed Chris Oarr for Publisher’s Weekly and he was able to confirm, yes, they still print manga, they’re committed to keeping the current volumes in print, and they’re doing a fair job selling them. That’s the good news; alas, no new series are in development at ADV and the rest of the PW article paints a less-than-rosy picture for the beleaguered manga division. And as Oarr says himself, “our main priority is our core business, which is anime.”

Launched in 2003 with a strong slate of licensed titles, and flush at the time with otaku cash (we were buying anime DVDs reqardless of shows’ respective merits like they were about to go out of style) ADV boldly entered the Manga business.

And Failed. They had some solid hits, but bad business decisions — and the scale of what they were attempting: more than 50 series apparently all at once — meant that decisions had to be made about where to cut, what to write off, and what they could realistically bring to print.

Ed Chavez over on MangaCast has done the hard work for us: his periodically updated Cancelled Manga List is the best resource for this kind of thing, and it is awfully heavy on the ADV titles.

Still, if ADV’s new mission is just to keep Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba in print (as the vital historical documents that they so clearly are :P ) then I have to wish them the best. That, and bug them about finishing up the few series that they have left. [*cough* Yotsuba *cough*]

It looks like ADV managed to bring 76 volumes to market (assuming that their own web site lists all the volumes they’ve released) and of those, 5 series are genuinely popular, at least according to my charts:

[as of 6 July, out of 1672 ranked titles]

144. ↓-18 (126) : Yotsuba&! 5 – ADV, Oct 2007 [227.2] ::
228. ↓-67 (161) : Yotsuba&! 4 – ADV, Jun 2007 [144.3] ::

. (last ranked 4 May 08) : Full Metal Panic! 9 – ADV, Feb 2006 [0] ::

Of these five, there is Yotsuba&!, which of course we all love, and the rest are anime-tie-in-titles. (though one could argue whether the Azumanga Daioh DVDs sell the books, or vice versa.) Note also that folks are already pre-ordering Yotsubato 6 without even knowing when or if it will come out. Hey Chris Oarr, call Amazon and Buy.com (buy.com will take your preorder right now, if you’re so inclined) and heck, I bet you’d find enough demand and all-but-guaranteed sales to pay for the print run.

ADV has also had a smattering of other books on previous charts

. (last ranked 22 June 08) : Chrono Crusade 8 – ADV, Jun 2006 [0] ::
. (last ranked 25 May 08) : Everybody Cosplay 1 – ADV, Nov 2007 [0] ::

. (last ranked 18 May 08) : Najica Blitz tactics 2 – ADV, Oct 2004 [0] ::

…but noticably absent is Cromartie High School, a fav of many critics (and damn funny besides) but perhaps a bit too old for my charts, which only extend back about 4 months now.

Unless I just added wrong, this makes 34 out of 76 books that made the rankings — which as I noted in the Aurora post is great no matter how low in the rankings they place, as it means the books are still selling. Considering the vintage of some of these (3 and 4 years old now) having any sort of new sales is a good sign. Where there are sales, there is hope.



Spotlight: Aurora Publishing

filed under , 9 July 2008, 18:25 by

It’s obvious to me that no one gives a flip about the great big honkin’ list because it is literally too big. One cannot take it in all at once, and to date my lame attempts to make it marginally more digestible, well, haven’t worked.

So let’s take one more stab at carving this beast into chunks that people can figure out at a glance:

I’m using my chart (numbers for the week ending 6 July posted yesterday) to look at the output of selected publishers, starting with

Aurora Publishing

Aurora is the American branch of Ohzora Publishing Co. and they are often pigeon-holed as a ‘ladies’ comic publisher, which may be unfair as I find their books have a lot of crossover appeal, though the label is accurate and is perhaps the best way for a first-time reader or casual industry observer to get a handle on the company.

From their first press release

Headquartered in Tokyo, Ohzora is a manga house widely known as a pioneer of comics for young women including: ladies comics, shojo manga, romance novel adaptations, and game-related anthology manga. In total, Ohzora’s publications are read by over 15.8 million people each year. … It is Aurora’s mission to introduce the highest quality Japanese manga titles to the wider population of North America, and develop the manga market here for a more mature audience. In order to provide North American readers with the best titles in a variety of genres, Aurora Publishing, Inc. has organized a consortium with several other manga publishers in Japan.

So there you go: Ohzora is planning to not only play to their strenghths, but is also looking toward the general market — and they’ve only been at it for about a year. Correction: they been publishing for a year but the company was actually started 2 years ago

Aurora has already released over 2 dozen books, with another dozen or so slated to come out before the end of the year. By far the largest number of releases are under their Deux imprint, for teh yaoi. Which only makes sense, as the genre is popular these days and they could use the all-but-guaranteed sales to help get the company started. There are also a mere handful of titles being released under the LuvLuv imprint (about 4 so far) aimed at an adult, romance market — if Aurora can get a line into the same demographic that snaps up Harlequin paperbacks then there is a lot of hope for the imprint, but so far there’s no indication that a crossover audience exists.


That’s enough with the information anyone could obtain by visiting Aurora’s web sites, let’s move on to the online rankings:

[as of 6 July, out of 1672 ranked volumes]

Main Imprint:

1545. ↓-125 (1420) : Flock of Angels 2 – Aurora, Feb 2008 [0.1] ::

1614. ↑42 (1656) : Nightmares for Sale 2 – Aurora, Apr 2008 [0.1] ::

702. ↓-33 (669) : Tomcats – Aurora Deux, Jun 2008 [13.1] ::
802. ↓-147 (655) : I Shall Never Return 3 – Aurora Deux, Jun 2008 [8.6] ::
830. ↑23 (853) : Say Please – Aurora Deux, Apr 2008 [7.9] ::

1410. ↑new (last ranked 15 Jun 08) : Mister Mistress – Aurora Deux, Jul 2008 [0.2] ::

. (last ranked 29 Jun 08) : Tough Love Baby – Aurora Deux, Feb 2008 [0] ::
. (last ranked 15 Jun 08) : Kiss All the Boys 2 – Aurora Deux, Jul 2008 [0] ::
. (last ranked 18 May 08) : Yakuza in Love 1 – Aurora Deux, Jan 2008 [0] ::
. (last ranked 30 Mar 08) : I Shall Never Return 2 – Aurora Deux, Feb 2008 [0] ::

LuvLuv:

829. ↓-275 (554) : Love for Dessert – Aurora LuvLuv, May 2008 [7.9] ::
. (last ranked 4 May 08) : Real Love – Aurora LuvLuv, Mar 2008 [0] ::

While low rankings may seem to be bad (and of course I’m sure every publisher is envious of Viz) the thing to remember is that ranking on the charts (no matter how far down) means books are being sold and in enough quantities to register with one of the online booksellers. How many copies does the last ranked book actually sell? That’s the big money question; my method doesn’t track sales that way — but I can tell you that it outsold at least 5,500 other manga that week on one, possibly more, sites.

Recent releases:

From this May: Love for Dessert, Walkin’ Butterfly 3, Yakuza in Love 2
June: I Shall Never Return 3, Tomcats, Flock of Angels 3
July (current new releases): Kiss All the Boys 2, Mister Mistress, Oh My God! 1, Nephilim 2

And preorders for: Future Lovers (September) and Lovers and Souls (November) — Both are Deux titles.

Excluding the two preorders, I’ve got 23 of the 29 books Aurora currently has in print in my database — that isn’t bad for a new publisher; it shows that some folks are finding the books, at least. And the Deux title Yakuza in Love is obviously their break-out title; it may lead readers to the rest of the catalog, given time.

…if you’ve read this far, you’ll no doubt be interested in the Weekly Commentary Posts.

More Next Week. Promise.

Originally compiled by Matt Blind for the benefit of the Manga Community and posted in the rankings category at RocketBomber/Comicsnob.com. Derived from publically available information; if you feel your intellectual property has been infringed upon then I’d advise you to chill, consult your lawyers again, maybe grow a thicker skin, and then also recognise that you’re getting a free, weekly link directly to your manga offerings [right at the top of the post, in case you missed it] on a blog that specifically caters to fans of the medium. Maybe you should be sending me money, or free manga, as opposed to getting your boxers/panties in a bunch over imaginary copyrights.

All data as posted released back into the public domain (be free, little numbers, go frolic and prosper) with merely a humble request that you link rather than steal, and that any derivative works include an attribution and also remain free to all.

Additional information on sources, methodology, bad habits, wastes of time, trivia, what is and isn’t manga, how alcoholism and OCD directly contribute to the compilation of the rankings, the thaumaturgical formulas used in the spreadsheet, answers to readers’ questions (if you ever get around to actually asking me anything) and other similar esoterica can be found in the Charts’ FAQ.

Yes, all the links are broken.

On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.

Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to archive.rocketbomber.com.

I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.

As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 - I'll see you back on the main site.

In my head, I sound like Yahtzee (quite a feat, given my inherited U.S.-flat-midwestern-accent.)

where I start my browsing day...

...and one source I trust for reviews, reports, and opinion on manga specifically. [disclaimer: I'm a contributor there]
