The Star has the list:
1. XxxHolic Vol.7
2. Negima Vol.10
3. Naruto Vol.10
4. Bleach Vol.13
5. Rurouni Kenshin Vol.27
6. Hot Gimmick Vol.11
7. Nana Vol.3
8. Hana-Kimi Vol.12
9. Eyeshield 21 Vol.8
10. Monster Vol.3
It’s kind of interesting to compare it to the U.S. top ten for this week, which of course had six slots taken up by Naruto. It seems a tad more sophisticated than ours, with XXXHolic and Monster making the cut.

XxxHolic is Popular in Malaysia?
In Japan, not same as Malaysia.
Well, the Star said “Weekly list compiled by Kinokuniya Bookstores Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur,” so I assume it’s the top ten sales in Malaysia. Or at least in the Kinokuniya in KL.
