Once again, not too much new in this week's New York Times Graphic Books Manga Bestseller List, except for a little game of musical chairs between the 10 books that where there last week, as some moved up a bit, some moved down, but if you didn't look too closely, it's pretty similar to last week's batch.
No surprises that the latest volumes of Naruto and Vampire Knight are still firmly ensconced in the #1 and #2 slots once more this week. The two black books, Black Butler and Black Bird traded places, and perhaps riding a wave of interest in all things Alice thanks to the upcoming Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland, Alice in the Country of Hearts is still hangin' in there at #5.
Lots of new books will hit the shelves in the coming weeks, so perhaps there'll be some shifting around next week. But until then, here's the rest of the New York Times Graphic Books Manga Top 10 for the week ending February 20, 2010.
