VIZ Media has announced that 9 of its manga titles have made the New York Time’s Manga Best Seller list for the week ending April 10th. Half of the list consists of new volumes of super awesome pirate adventure manga, ONE PIECE by Eiichiro Oda.

So, how come five volumes of ONE PIECE have appeared in the list of Top 10 this week? Well, the answer is pretty simple. Viz will be releasing five volumes of ONE PIECE per month, from January through June, to catch up to the Japanese publishing schedule, and bring the latest volumes of this popular series to fans sooner than ever.

“It’s exciting to see such a wide variety of VIZ Media titles reach this level of popularity,” says Gonzalo Ferreyra, Vice President of Sales, VIZ Media. “From the irresistible bite of ROSARIO + VAMPIRE, to the high seas pirate adventures of ONE PIECE, to the romantic shojo hijinks of THE GENTLEMEN’S ALLIANCE, these titles continue to show the diversity of the manga genre and its strong appeal among readers of all ages and interests.”

So, here's the list of VIZ Media Best-Selling Manga Titles (in listed order):

1. ROSARIO + VAMPIRE: Season II, Vol. 1
2. YU-GI-OH! R, Vol. 4
3. NARUTO, Vol. 47
4. THE GENTLEMEN'S ALLIANCE †, Vol. 11
5. ONE PIECE, Vol. 40
6. ONE PIECE, Vol. 39

The New Upcoming Anime List Check it out ....

All information here is from verifiable sources (unlike a certain chart that so many people are fond of passing around, even though it states on it clearly that the information on it may not be correct because of the use of secondary sources); almost all of my info is from right here on ANN. I originally made this list for myself, but I thought someone besides myself might also find it useful. I usually update on a bi-weekly basis; next update will be sometime during the first week of April.
