N = New listing appearing on list for first time 
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks

Commentary: 

  • The new edition of the Marvel Encyclopedia returns to the top spot this week after dipping down last week.
  • We seem to be in a bit of a manga resurgence recently, and this week sees four manga  titles in the top ten, and twenty-one of the top fifty. Not sure if this represents an actual increase in interest, or just of Amazon's classification schema (though I lean towards the former.)
  • New titles this week include several manga as well, with new installments of One PieceJoJo's Bizarre AdventureOne-Punch Man and Attack on Titan. Other new items include Godzilla: Aftershock (a prequel to the upcoming movie) and The Adventures of Alexander Von Humboldt.
  • This is going up late on Saturday morning, but the rankings were taken Friday morning as usual.
