Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

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:

• Persepolis remains on top this week, taking the #1 and the #4 slots as back-to-school book buying ramps up even further. 
• Aside from the obligatory new issue of Injustice, the only debut this week is the second volume of the manga adaptation of the light novel series Sword Art Online, which has also been made into a popular anime. Multimedia convergence FTW.
