    So.

    Is it bad that i got a little teary-eyed when i read your post?

    I started reading the manga after getting totally hooked on the anime, and after that first volume, I was addicted (read 12 volumes that same day, lol), so it makes me extremely happy that it is doing so well.

    #24! Behold the power of the fans!!!

    And it’s obvious which manga is going to break the Top 10 when the time comes. Could be this current volume, or volume 15 in December.
