Commentary:

• The University Effect has taken a firm grip on the Amazon chart, with the top nine entries all comics frequently used in college classes. Persepolis remains at the top of the chart, with The Complete Persepolis close behind in the third slot.
• Led by a massive all-in-one edition of Death Note, all of the debuts on the chart this week are manga, including new volumes of Monster Musume, Delicious in Dungeon, and One-Punch Man.
• Daredevil: Born Again returns to the chart this week, apparently because the star of the Netflix Daredevil series mentioned it in an interview?
