New releases as well as a new anime has shonen titles dominating this list this week. The new Naruto volume takes the top spot. I would wonder if the news that it would end in the next month had anything to do with that, but Naruto always debuts at the top, so probably not. The World Trigger anime debuted this last week and now both volumes are not only on the top ten, but debut right behind Naruto. Shojo represents with the final volume of Vampire Knight, and the newest volume of My Love Story!, the shojo that’s safe for macho guys to read. Finally, the Obata sale has hit the list as the first volume of Hikaru no Go charts, as does the complete series of All You Need Is Kill.

Attack on Titan loses a few volumes, but the foundations titles remain; Vol 1, No Regrets Vol 1 and the most recent release Vol 13.
