NY Times Manga Bestsellers: TokyoPop's Vampires Stake Claim To Top of Charts

By , About.com GuideOctober 9, 2009

Follow me on:

Vampire Kisses Vol. 3This week's edition of the New York Times Graphic Books list brought us a few notable newcomers, but the eyebrow-raiser moment this morning was seeing Chibi Vampire Vol. 14 and Vampire Kisses Vol. 3 (both from TokyoPop) climbing from their mid-chart positions to claim the top two spots. To make this feat even more momentous, it accomplished this in a week when a new volume of Naruto hit the shelves.

The other two debuts were Shugo Chara Vol. 7 by Peach-Pit and Negima! Neo by Ken Akamatsu and Takuya Fujiyama, both from Del Rey Manga.

Here's the rest of the New York Times Manga Bestseller list for the week ending October 3, 2009:
