Bleach Vol 62 gets kicked from the top spot by digital first debut Food Wars Vol 4. One-Punch Man Vol 5‘s debut takes the second spot, while the Narutos switch around a few spots but still take the rest of the top five. Two new Viz Selects debut this week as well. Zone-00 is another Tokyopop license rescue, that only got 4 volumes here, while Mad Love Chase‘s second volume does well. It’s a heavily shonen week, but the return of Dengeki Daisy does help balance the books a little.

Attack on Titan vol 14 finally loses the top spot, falling back one in favor of Seven Seas’ Monster Girls. Monster Musume Vol 5 is the new top title. Noragami Vol 2 makes a nice debut at #3, while Maximum Ride Vol 8 returns for an early holiday season appearance. Bleach Vol 62 takes the biggest fall, six spots, and is followed close behind by the Nisekoi Vol 6, which falls four. Viz also falls short of dominating the list. That honor still belongs to Kodansha with four titles. Viz is right behind though at three, Yen Press has 2, and Seven Seas has only one, but it’s also the only one that really counts.
