Top manga for February

ICv2 has compiled the top selling graphic novel chart for February, so I’m going to pull out the manga. As always, remember that these numbers are from Diamond and thus reflect mainly sales in comics shops. I’ll put the ranking on the overall GN chart in parentheses so you can see how the manga compare to graphic novels as a whole; the final number in parens is total sales for the month.
