It not suprising but its nice to see that its popular in japan.

I am disappointed that its not #1.

Im not cause most of this kind of list is always topped by a manga that you have never heard of.

Post by **Oro** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 3:15 am

Well i have read 9 out of 10 mangas in that list. 20th Century Boys 18 was crap compare to Berserk 28.

Post by **Libaax** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 3:31 am

I have read D. Gray-Man,Homunculus(stopped reading),Eyeshield 21,Bleach stopped reading cause of the anime.

why do you guys think 20h century boys is so good? ive only read about the first few chapters i think but i didnt get into it... anyone know why?

anyways teh reason why its prolly #2 is because of the unexplainable ABSENCE if action in the last few chapters... whats the deal with that?

Post by **Libaax** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 5:05 am

A manga doesnt have be good to top this list you know i have seen mangas that sucks top that list....

20 cth Boys is so good cause its made by the same guy as Monster.

Also people who like Berserk they buy it no matter what happens in the latest volume, it could be simly cause more 20 cth boys reader went to their manga stores this week

Not really. I didn't expect Berserk to be number 2 in the WHOLE of Japan. That itself is a great achievement! While it is disappointing that it's not no. 1...

Eldo cant you update this thread with the latest list now and then just to see if Berserk reaches nr.1 someday.

Post by **Buzkashi** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 5:25 am

Its to bad that its not #1 but I guess #2 is somewhat exceptable. *sigh* oh well it wil be #1 soon enough.

Post by **Dominion** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 8:04 am

oh wait i didnt read it properly... i thought it was about ranking not sales figures...

Post by **Darnoc** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 8:28 am

Berserk isn't #1

I haven't even read any of the others on that list but they gotta be worse than Berserk

well, #2 is pretty good

Post by **Starnum** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 8:40 am

#2 eh? That’s cool stuff.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sat Mar 19, 2005 9:32 am

At least it means that the comparatively slow chapters in vol 28 didn't deter people from buying the volume. If anything, it proves that Miura didn't misjudge his audience completely.

Doesnt pain my heart to see it at #2
Should be #1, but will be soon enough

Post by **Femto** » Sun Mar 20, 2005 8:24 pm

I've always wanted to know exactly how popular Berserk was and, considering it's content, #2 is a very surprising number.

Post by **Oro** » Sun Mar 20, 2005 9:23 pm

Berserk vols are normally #1 when they come out.

Post by **Eldo** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 4:54 am

I found it kinda strange that other comics like Naruto aren't on the list. Is there some sort of listing that separates them? Or the sales isn't as good?

Post by **Starnum** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:51 am

There is a category that separates them. They get they're high ratings in polls about why people buy the magazines they're serialized in.

Post by **Eldo** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:56 am

Oh, I see. It was kinda odd, I know there is a category, but I just don't know what it is.
