I love Naruto so much I bought two copies! No, I just accidentally bought an extra. Gave it to a friend. But really, I do love Naruto.

I also got Yozakura Quartet. It feels good to read it after the visual horror that was Hana no Uta.

Boku no Hero Academia is off to a great start! Hopefully it will soar to greater and greater heights as time goes on.

While it's probably a bit too early right now, I'm hoping we'll hear about an Ajin anime adaptation in the coming year.

The anime boost for Nanatsu no Taizai marches on.

Great for Boku no Hero Academia. Throwing out a guess out there that the following week will be less impressive for it, followed by a rebound in weeks 3/4, as the reprint was done this Monday. Kind of like Shokugeki no Souma vol 1*

*Souma 1 went... 71.3k in week 1, 89.3k total (+18k) in week 2, 107.9k total (+18.6k) in week 3, 139.6k total (+31.6k) in week 4

Looking at the sales for its previous volumes, it's probably only a matter of time before it does get an adaptation. I've not tried the series, but the artwork looks good and it's building up a core audience with its themes.

Oh, was hoping that Sankarea would do better than that with its last volume. Can't wait until that comes out in English...sometime in 2015!

Must've missed when Hori-Miya ranked 2nd last week. A series I'm interested in (due to the OVAs, though I know this series is different), and I like the sound of this one over what was originally made in Hori-san to Miyamura-kun. I'd definitely get Hori-Miya if someone brought it over to the west.

March 2015 for the final volume in English; quite a fast release. Kodansha seem to be good at getting their series out in English relatively close to the Japanese release date.

Are people still upset that Yasuda's amateurish artwork was replaced Ryo Chimo's superior character designs?
It's ironic that one of the most beautiful shows from last year gets such a reputation.

I love Yasuda's artwork, and it's very sharp and crisp. Ryochimo's messed up all the colors and made the characters look like children. My poor favorite character Mariabelle... *sniff*

Lots of Seven Deadly Sins! I'm happy with that. And also Boku no Hero Academia!

Naruto is first, pretty predictable as it is at the end of the serie. I am happy that Food Wards is second, it is starting to get the popularity that it deserve Very Happy. Then there is Nanatsu No Taizai, oh a manga that I stopped reading, I need to get back at it. Maybe just watch the anime instead, well I am happy that it also starts to get more popular, the anime is really helping. Toriko is another manga that I stopped reading because I was a little bored with it and time caught up, I have so much mangas that I stopped reading that I have to catch up because I was still interesting in them Confused. Kingdom is barely there, well I am interesting in the yearly results, I am cheering for One Piece but I would like to have some Ace Of Diamond, Attack Of Titan, Food Wars, Assassination Classroom and others to have good scores.

Oh, it's out in March? Nice, on time for my birthday!

I've been loving the series, but it's been killing me too. Last couple of volumes I've read (7 and 8) have ended in cliffhangers!
