Before the good stuff: The usual 5 paragraphs on methodology.

Given that 4 days out of last week went *poof*, as personal circumstances kept me from keeping up with the usual daily grind, my schedule this past weekend (looong weekend: 5 days, but not a good long weekend as I still had to work) well, it’s been really tight. I typically don’t mind data entry (…but that’s still not even in the same hemisphere as saying I like data entry) because I can spread it out in one and two hour chunks throughout the week, with four hours on a Sunday or Monday to bring everything together.

Since last Thursday I’ve done 7400 line-items of data entry, compiled the main chart twice, pulled out the new releases and preorders from last week, posted a special supplement on publishers’ estimated market share, and completed not one but two commentary posts (The Broccoli spotlight and this thing) and…

Well, maybe that’s enough for a long weekend. Don’t expect this every week. In future, if I’m not on pace on Thursday or Friday I’ll just scrub that week’s chart entirely.

The time-scale for the 10 August rankings were stretched a bit, because of my missing days, and to make up for one set of missing site checks (went back one Saturday and picked up a smidge of data previously used for 3 Aug) — so instead of two-weeks, it covers a time period of 19 days. The charts for 17 August (just posted) in contrast, are two weeks… but awfully heavy on the recent data: 2/3 of the scores were pulled in just 5 days (Wed-Fri-Sat-Sun.)

Statistically speaking… well, I have no clue, really. It’ll all come out in the wash. Tonight, at least, is a night off.

ATTN: Box Sets

Viz is planning another Big, Big autumn: Not only are they re-releasing the coveted Naruto Box (not in black this year, but in a stomach-churning shade of neon green) but alongside, they’re also soaking the fan base for a $100+ a pop acceding to demand and releasing box sets of other popular series:

The Naruto Box appears to be in warehouses now (as of this morning) so if you jump on it you might even have it by Friday. That’s $179.99 MSRP, isbn 9781421525822. Also:

21 vols of Bleach, isbn 9781421526102, $149.99, 2 Sept.
13 vols of Death Note, isbn 9781421525815, $99.99, 7 Oct.
16 vols of Dragon Ball, isbn 9781421526140, $114.99, 4 Nov.
26 vols of Dragon Ball Z, isbn 9781421526157, $185.99, 4 Nov.

(no one actually pays list price, I don’t think — not with so many online retailers undercutting each other to make these sales, but the prices above are the ‘official’ ones)

And of course, there are the new VizBig Editions of Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Vagabond. Plus maybe some others I haven’t heard of yet, or that are still in the development pipe.

There are enough omnibuses, box sets, collections, Ultimate Editions, and the like to make for quite a pile — 47 listings in my database. I won’t post a full accounting this week because I don’t want to clog up the blog with yet another list and there are other things to cover, but if this sort of thing interests you, let me know and I can post it in a follow-up.

Your feedback matters.

In fact, I take requests:

John T at Mecha Mecha Media (via the comments on a post at MangaBlog) specifically asked if I included “light novels” in my manga charts.

The short answer is Yes. Yes I do.

The long answer isn’t that much longer: I rely on the manga category listings of my sources, the 9 online sales sites that I currently check weekly. I reserve the right to skip most of Tokyopop’s Cine-Manga (for obvious reasons) but for the most part if they want to include it with their manga offerings, that’s good enough for me.

The least manga-ish of the items I currently track are the Avatar Lost Scrolls and Avatar Earth Kingdom Chronicles, both from Simon & Schuster. These are two series written in English and based off of an American produced TV show. (well, it’s likely all animated in South Korea but so is the Simpsons so there — and given the Korean connection why Tokyopop or Nick hasn’t solicited a manhwa of Avatar still confuses me)

While I include the Avatar books in the Manga 500, we’ll skip them today. (none of them would have made the following Top 10 anyway)

Manga-ish novels (the ones translated into English, anyway) fall into 3 broad categories: novels with a tie-in to existing manga or anime, stand-alone novels, and a large subset of the stand-alone novels: yaoi prose.

In some cases the novel predates the anime or manga adaptation: I know this is the case for Battle Royale, Crest of the Stars, Strawberry Panic, The Twelve Kingdoms, and Vampire Hunter D. The Ghost in the Shell novels came after the TV anime (which came after the theatrical film, which came after the manga). Full Metal Panic was also an anime first; the plots of the novels don’t deviate at all from the anime, being close to a shot-for-shot-to-page adaptation.

The Chibi Vampire novels were written after the manga debuted (and the first came out while the anime Karin was still in pre-production) and they tell new, parallel stories — not related directly to the main storyline of either manga or anime.

Naruto novels are just a grab for fanboy cash, like the movies, artbooks, video games, calendars, source books, ani-manga based on the movies, plushies, headbands, ‘official’ orange jump suits, etc etc etc. I think there have been a total of five Naruto novels released by Viz in English.

(They did something similar with Fullmetal Alchemist, if memory serves)

.hack// is a tangled web all it’s own, with a couple video games thrown into the mix to make it even more confusing.

##

Light Novels for the sake of being light novels seem to be fairly rare, actually, at least so far. Seven Seas is the only pub currently pursuing these, or at least the only one I’m aware of at the moment; though Viz releases a (non-manga-tie-in) novel very occasionally, as does Del Rey, and there’s the whole Tokyopop Pop Fiction branch if it survives the current slate of cuts & delays — none of these publishers pushed light novels as a branded concept, prefering to stick with either a known property that just happened to have a novel or two, or marketing them as ‘staight’ YA/Teen fiction without expliciting exploiting the Japanese angle.

I had quite a bit to say about novels and manga once before, four months and another blog ago; I’ll point you to this article on Comicsnob.com for more on the topic.

Light novels will continue to be a bit of a puzzle wrapped in an enigma and banished to the back corner behind sci-fi with the rest of the manga and graphic novels, at least until book stores figure out where to shelve them.

Manga Midlist 500
(adjusted sales rankings excluding volumes from the top 5 series)
for the week ending 17 August 2008

To better illustrate how 2nd-tier titles are performing, the 100 or so books from the top 5 series are excluded, and then a top 500 chart (this ‘Midlist 500’) is re-run and re-numbered with the volumes that remain.

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.

More Next Week. Promise.

Originally compiled by Matt Blind for the benefit of the Manga Community and posted in the rankings category at RocketBomber.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.

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.

Why, in the name of the sweet gods of Beer and Comics, do I waste so much of my week on data entry, number shuffling, and long long lists of Rank Title Volume Publisher Month Year [Score] that no one bothers to read — well OK, sure you’re reading them, and thanks …but who looks at the whole list? — when I could instead spend my precious time reading comics or marathoning whole anime series or going out and meeting women?

Well, it seems women don’t like me much, but past that — there are likely some parallels between my dedication to this very odd (but coincidentally useful) hobby and the time wasted by the vast hordes that play online games, MMORPGs like World of Warcraft.

It’s called the Grind. And running the numbers every weekend is grindtastic. Is anything real produced? Nope. But I could swear I light up like a senator on a lobbyist’s bartab, 2 bars of epic music play, and flashing words of light a half-metre tall proclaim “Level Up!” over my head every Sunday night when I finish the charts.

The difference is that instead of fulfilling the arbitrary requirements of someone else’s schema, I’m spending hours in a little game of my own devising.
(hm. That’s a concise, poetic definition either of Happiness, or of Insanity)

I must be reading too much schlock as the thought that occurred to me this week while grinding my way through the sales sites, data-farming as it were, is that certain aspects of a series can mean a lot more to sales as a whole. In the spirit of Schlock Mercenary we’ll call them ‘force multipliers’

Let’s say you just fired half of your staff — including the marketing and sales staff and maybe some of the editors with the best ‘intuition’ (for lack of a better word) of how a prospective title is going to perform in its market niche — and you were looking for a quick, cheap fix to replace that functionality within your organization.

—I need to interrupt that thought: there is no replacement for the right person who possesses the right expertise working in an appropriate position. Your first, best, second best, and in the end the only asset that positively impacts your bottom line, are your employees. [oh boy did I go off on a tangent: read the full rant ]

Anyway… Let’s say you just fired your research staff, etc etc and you were looking for a quick, cheap fix to replace that functionality within your organization.

1. Have fun digging. You’ll need to learn how to game a search engine to get it to spit out the info you need.
2. And the only free info is going to be from amateurs. (like me) There are some very talented amateurs out there (and a few charitable professionals) but if we were any good, we’d be on payroll somewhere by now.
3.. …and recognise the internet usually lies. I mean, just a month or so ago there was this dumb rumor from, like, nowhere that Kodansha was out-of-the-blue starting up a US Manga Division.
[*cough*]

So. Yeah. The information online is questionable.

On top of that: I can’t teach you how to use Google. My own methods are one part built-in thesaurus, one part non-linear problem solving, and one part beer. I can’t speak to overall efficacy, but in the past I have been able to find the information I need, even in a language I don’t read [yet] but perhaps I’ve just been lucky. (then again, the first-part internal thesaurus managed to spit out ‘efficacy’ even while suffering from the third-part beer, so I may personally be channeling something ultimately useless but spectacularly entertaining in application. And my brain is wired differently from the rest of the populace; my curse and boon.)

I doubt you’ll be able to duplicate my blend of drunken bravado and blind luck; you’ll need experts. If you aren’t an expert, why did you just fire them? Damn, Milky, I know you live in your own world but some things should be obvious, even if you drink as much as I do.

Setting that aside…

There is no replacement for expertise but if you were looking for a plug-and-play formula then I might be able to accommodate you. I’m about to give the internets (and publishers-on-the-ropes) some obvious criteria that should predict manga sales (no guarantees) and which should also be obvious but I don’t think anyone else has posted them yet.

Manga Force Multipliers

New. (volume released in the past month)
+1

Volume Five.
The customers like longer series: part of that is the appeal of long-running stories; mostly it’s that 5 volumes take up at least 4 inches of shelf space and combined with even rudimentary graphic design a block like that will catch the customers eye. +1

Frequency.
Viz has capably proven that releases every other month seem to engage the fan base moreso than titles that slowly exit the gate at the rate of 2 or 3 a year. The average 14-year-old fan just can’t wait that long — their interests change before you can get the next book out and into their greedy mitts. If you’re Dark Horse and you’re selling to the 30-year-old-with-a-14-year-old-mindset the math is different, but most publishers need to pump the volumes out faster. Bi-monthly merits a +5, 4-a-year gets you +1, anything else is a push (or a negative).

Sucks. Yes. But this is our customer base. They also hang out in the aisles, reading reading reading without buying anything. Cheap frickin’ bastards, the lot of them. It is what it is, though: We’re looking to capture the percentage that buys, not the rest, and shop-wear and unwrapped 18+ titles are just the cost of doing business.

And yet, I have a dream… a GN-only store that would not only cater to these sponges, but would sell them coffee and pastries until they do come around to buying the books they read.

This kinda-sorta-helps but not for the reason you think: it’s not that online comics sap legitimate bookstore sales, it’s that we hate hate hate reading comics online. Give us the anime adaptation, or give us a book. …there is no such thing as bad publicity, though; An online manga is just a teaser: If a person is ever going to buy a book than a scanlated chapter merely whets the appetite. The rest weren’t going to buy it anyway.

Fansubs are a different model: online video might as well be DVD for most consumers. It takes an exceptionally bad sub (or shite video quality) to keep a fan from downloading. A significant fraction download anyway (and complain about the legitimate DVD dubs and subs not being ‘authentic’ on forums).

(I can’t explain that, and won’t try)

Volume Five: Vampire Knight

Anime available on DVD: many previously cited, also Fullmetal Alchemist, Full Metal Panic, and .hack//
Anime available as a Fansub: right now? Rosario+Vampire
Manga available as scanlation: Any. Naruto and Negima spring immediately to mind, however.

That’s only my take on it.
