Our manga best-seller list has six new entries this week. They tell stories about life, death, dreams - and high school. At No. 1 on the list is volume 10 of “Soul Eater,†about an arms expert who wants to hone the ultimate weapon for Death. At No. 2 is “Tenjo Tenge,†which sounds like “Fight Club†set in a high school where all the students are brawlers. Volume 13 of “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya,†at No. 7, is about a school club interested in the paranormal and a club member who has the power to destroy the universe.
The remaining three entries are all a bit mystical: “Puella Magi Madoka Magica,†at No. 3, is about Madoka Kaname, who wonders if her magical dreams are coming true. In “The Betrayal Knows My Name,†at No. 4, Yuki Sakuragi is burdened by his telepathy. And in “Omamori Himari,†at No. 5, a cat-spirit must protect a teenager who discovers, on his 16th birthday, that there are creators out to destroy him. Happy sweet 16, indeed.
As always, the complete lists can be found here, along with an explanation of how they were assembled.
