Charts!

Posted on April 12, 2007 by Brigid Alverson

The USA Today Booklist features three manga this week: vol. 13 of Naruto at number 84 (down a few notches from last week’s 79); vol. 18 of Bleach at 103 (up from 129 last week) and vol. 16 of Fruits Basket, making its debut at number 122. Perched just above Bleach are Spider-Man 3 and Spider-Man 3: The Junior Novel, which makes this a banner week for sequential art. Much later volumes of Bleach and Naruto top the Japanese charts, and the first volume of Takeshi Obata’s Blue Dragon sneaks in at number 10.
