Eyeshield 21 Vol 8, $7.99

Nana Vol 3, $8.99
Naruto Vol 10, $7.95
Rurouni Kenshin Vol 27, $7.95
Yu GI Oh Duelist Vol 15, $7.95

It’s kind of a lean week, but all the better to savor the latest volumes from Go!Comi and Del Rey.

In terms of bookstores vs. comics stores, it’s worth noting that three of the Viz releases, Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, and Bleach, are already on the Bookscan top ten for last week.

Also, I’m including Sabrina this week. It’s a little jarring to see “Archie comics” on this list, but Sabrina is drawn in manga style by Tania del Rio, one of our community’s most articulate members. Thoughts, anyone?

    Any list with Eyeshield 21 can’t be that bad. For the betterment of the manga society:
