Negima, the boy wizard wielded his magic on this week's New York Times Graphic Books list by knocking the latest volume of Naruto off the top of the charts. But perhaps more notably, three new volumes from superstar manga-ka team CLAMP have claimed spots in this week's top 10: two volumes of Tsubasa and the latest volume of xxxHolic.
Also new and notable: the second volume of James Patterson's Maxiumum Ride by NaRae Lee makes its debut in the #5 slot -- a strong showing for this series based on the bestselling young adult adventure novels. And that Death Note light novel I wondered about last week? It's still rackin' up sales to hang in there at #7.
