And not surprisingly, Naruto and The Watchmen dominate (embarrassing admission: I still haven't read it, nor have I watched or read Sin City). Though, seriously, 8/10 manga volumes is a bit over the top! There's plenty of other good ongoing series out there, and I was shocked that not a single volume of Bleach made the list, considering how widely read that is as well.
I may have to do some sleuthing this weekend to compare the numbers they used to generate this list with online sites that offer faster turnaround, be it streaming or downloading of manga chapter by chapter as it is released. While I'm all for Naruto taking over the world (Believe It!), it would be nice to see a broader representation.
I've been considering tracking my reading habits for a year in a further attempt to thin out the unread volumes on my shelves - perhaps I ought to begin counting the manga by volume as well, since that's where most of my reading hours are lost!
Full listing for the first week listed:
