Weekly Taiyosha Manga Rankings ~ July 7, 2008

A few changes over at the Taiyosha Rankings and some of note… They have removed BL entirely from their charts moving those titles into the dreadful once media mix friendly “OTHER” category. BL should no longer be in the Adult category and children’s manga will not be in “other.”

Speaking of adult manga… When was the last time you saw an eromanga in the top 5 of the overall manga rankings? Only BLEACH could defeat the loli-power surge that came from the release of Shoujo Material. God I would kill if Icarus picked that up. I’d donate $1000 to help license a chapter from it… GAHHH
