Bookscan May Numbers
I just happened to be looking at it and saw three Vampire Knight volumes and a Skip Beat volume in the top 20. Ureshii ne!
Bookstores with large foreign book sections here do sell translated manga, but the only shojo manga I’ve seen there are NANA and Nodame Cantabile. The rest are all shonen manga. So when I saw most of the books I’ve translated actually being stacked on the shelves in San Francisco last month, I was finally able to really feel that the books I’ve worked on are…well, actually being SOLD.
