• The fourteenth volume of My Hero Academia was released this week, moving into the second position on the chart; the Kindle edition debuts in 12th place.
• There are quite a few debuts this week: A new volume of One Piece; preorders for The Book of Onions, a new Legend of Korra, and new collections of Bloom County and Monstress; and single Kindle issues of Darth Vader, The Sandman Universe and Fantastic Four.
• It's that time of year again as the University Effect starts to take hold, and books such as Persepolis, American Born Chinese, Maus, Fun Home and Understanding Comics start to move up the chart.
