Commentary: 

• It took the passing of legendary manga-ka Kentaro Miura to knock The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, off of its months-long perch atop the Amazon comics chart. The nine extant Deluxe Editions of Miura's Berserk took nine of the top ten spots, with Boy/Mole/Fox/Horse dropping to the #4 spot. Seven volumes of the Berserk tankobon also made the chart, as well as the Kindle edition of the first volume, giving Berserk seventeen of the spots in the top fifty this week.
• Aside from various volumes of Berserk, the only other new entry this week is an upcoming volume of My Hero Academia. 
• There are thirty-seven manga volumes on the chart this week, up just one from last week, even with the Berserk surge.
• Get a vaccine. Wash your hands. Wear a face mask when in public, enclosed spaces. Practice sensible social distancing. Read comics!
