Every week, the New York Times and Amazon posts the top ten bestselling books. The New York Times gets their numbers from print sales from retailers, while Amazon calculates their own numbers. Once a month the Nielsen Bookscan posts their top twenty graphic novels of which manga is included. Offered here is a listing of these books with their status this week compared with the previous week, along with some way-off analysis of the activity.

New York Times Bestseller List for the week ending December 26, 2015

1. One-Punch Man Vol 1     ↑ 1
2. Tokyo Ghoul Vol 4     ↓ 1
3. Tokyo Ghoul Vol 1     ↑ 5
4. One-Punch Man Vol 3     ↑ 5

8. One-Punch Man Vol 2     ↓ 4
9. Tokyo Ghoul Vol 3     ↓ 3
10. Naruto Vol 72     ↔

It’s another week of “same titles, different places.” One-Punch Man Vol 1 rises back up to retake the top spot, pushing Tokyo Ghoul Vol 4 down to second place. Tokyo Ghoul Vols 1 and 2 move up in support while vol 3 takes a fall. One-Punch Man Vol 3 also moves up, while Vol 2 falls down 4 spots, the biggest fall on the list. Both Attack on Titan vols 17 and 1 fall, but land next to each other. If you want to know what are the four biggest series for 2015 are, this list is a good example.

Amazon.com for the week ending January 02, 2016

1. One-Punch Man Vol 1     ↔ 9
2. One-Punch Man Vol 2   ↔ 8
3. One-Punch Man Vol 3     ↔ 5
4. One-Punch Man Vol 4     ↑ 4
5. Tokyo Ghoul Vol 4     ↓ 1
6. Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring     ∗
7. Tokyo Ghoul Vol 1     ↓ 2
8. Tokyo Ghoul Vol 3     ↓ 2
9. Tokyo Ghoul Vol 2     ↓ 2
10. Naruto: Kakashi’s Story     ↵ 8

Most of the changes to Amazon’s top ten happen at the bottom as One-Punch Man Vol 1-3 continue their strangle hold on the top three spots while Vol 4 moves up to join them, making it 4 of a kind. Tokyo Ghoul keeps formation as well, though they are interrupted by the pre-order of the last (for real this time) Naruto volume, The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring. Also returning to join it is the light novel Naruto: Kakashi’s Story. Amazon goes for the same reflection as the New York Times, but keeps things a little more intimate with just Viz Media series’.
