Viz Media has all the debuting titles this week, including the new top title. Naruto vol 68 pushes the monster girls from Monster Musume off their perch. It joins the previous Naruto, vol 67 to be the only title with consecutive volumes on the list. Millenium Snow‘s fourth and final volume debuts in the top five as well, and is the only shojo on the list. Black Butler makes its seasonal return as Yen Press’ only title, while Kodansha’s Noragami vol 1 makes a somewhat surprising, but not unwelcome, return.
