Estimated Online Sales Rankings
For the Week Ending 4 January 2009

Note on Sources: The Virgin MegaStores site (due partly to the fact that there are no Virgin Megastores anymore, but mostly to the fact that their book search is broken) has been replaced in these rankings by regional bookseller chain Hastings, operating 154 superstores, averaging approximately 20,000 square feet, primarily in medium-sized markets throughout the United States. Because of their… eccentricities… I can only consider a top 100 manga from the GoHastings.com web site, but will be tracking it weekly from now on.

Originally compiled by Matt Blind for the benefit of the Manga Community and posted in the rankings category at RocketBomber.com. Derived from publically available information; if you feel your intellectual property has been infringed upon then I’d advise you to chill, consult your lawyers again, maybe grow a thicker skin, and then also recognise that you’re getting a free, weekly link directly to your manga offerings [right at the top of the post, in case you missed it] on a blog that specifically caters to fans of the medium. Maybe you should be sending me money, or free manga, as opposed to getting your boxers/panties in a bunch over imaginary copyrights.

All data as posted released back into the public domain (be free, little numbers, go frolic and prosper) with merely a humble request that you link rather than steal, and that any derivative works include an attribution and also remain free to all.

Additional information on sources, methodology, bad habits, wastes of time, trivia, what is and isn’t manga, how alcoholism and OCD directly contribute to the compilation of the rankings, the thaumaturgical formulas used in the spreadsheet, answers to readers’ questions (if you ever get around to actually asking me anything) and other similar esoterica can be found in the Charts’ FAQ.
