Things like that could easily become more rare. Does anyone know how the OEL books actually sell? I'd assume (perhaps wrongly) that a cut in manga stocking would include those titles as well as anything from a publisher that isn't Tokyopop, Viz, Del Rey, etc. I can’t see any new buyer cutting the amount of Naruto and Bleach copies in stock, but last time I was home in Michigan I got a copy of Ponent Mon’s Walking Man at Borders.

That is, if this phenomenon is true, might it be as likely accurate to cast it as a "market correction" or a business reality than to present it as the idiosyncracy of an individual person, be he personally "manga crazy" or not?

Is Borders cutting back on all GNs? Did they have a glut and arereturning to saner levels? How do the Borders orders (sorry) compare to Barnes & Noble? Is this the new guy who was on the ICV2 panel?
