Monster Musume and Nisekoi climbing up is so awesome to hear.

Can't wait for that well deserved anime for Monster Musume too.

Didn't expect to see MM at the top of the list. I can't wait to read the next vol. But then I can't wait to see the anime this summer.

Good to see that the horny art-appreciation level among the NYT readers is high.

^it's not NYT readers, it's manga buyers in general, but I'm not sure where they get their stats from--overall bookstore numbers? Do they count Amazon sales? Diamond?

In any case, it's nice to see Seven Seas have a title selling so well, and JoJo's being up there should make a lot of fans happy!

Only reason Monster Musume is there is because of the fan-service. It's had ONE good joke, and that was the spoiler[leg-man] joke. I don't think it's underservedly high or anything, it's just sad to see that the general public cares so little about good storytelling and humor.

Can I report this kind this kind of butt-hurt comments or is it par for the course?

Great to see Jojo on the list for the third consecutive week. I guess it has finally found its audience after all this time.

Who knew a monster spider lady could be attractive? Amazing.

I wonder if the furry moniker still applies...

If your trying to deffend shite like Monster Musume, then honestly your opinion isn't worth a damn. Echi is garbage and a waste of paper, and an eye sore for anyone who wants to see good series fair well in the ranking.
