Following up yesterday’s charts, our HTML is still less than desired, but here is Diamond’s year end chart for the Top 50 Manga. Although Viz dominates, Tokyopop claims the top spot with FRUITS BASKET Vol. 16.

Something to be curious about: I wonder what the differences are between this list of manga sold to the DM versus the bookscan list for manga sold to most other people in the world. Same stroke of curiosity for the Top 100 trades. Where does one find bookscan numbers (outside of your blog)?
Am I the onlyone who finds it sad that Vertical’s Osamu Tezuka reprints don’t show up here?
