'08 Summer Manga Rankings: Publishers' Scorecard
The Scorecard differs from the Market Share Estimates in that the previously posted chart attempts to assign a value to titles, while the Scorecard merely counts them.
The Publishers’ Scorecard is a staple of the weekly posts; I’m merely applying it in this case to a much larger data set.

…in a weekly post, this would then be followed by actual rankings, but the numbers in this case should be able to stand on their own.
