Manga outsells American graphic novels
According to ICV2, 47 of the top 50 graphic novels in the US this week are manga, with the top 37 spots being all manga titles. Fruits Basket #4 (with Shigure on the cover!!!
)is the number one selling graphic novel.
Probably no surprise. If the mainstream bestseller lists deigned to include graphic novels in their listings, I bet manga would come in pretty high there too.
I don't think we're reached the point where gray-suited businessmen are reading Ruruoni Kenshin on their morning commute to their jobs on Wall Street - but thirty years down the road, who knows?
