NY Times Manga Bestsellers: Fruits Basket Holds Onto Number 1

This week's edition of the New York Times Graphic Books list has been posted and for the second week in a row, the final volume of Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya from TokyoPop is holding strong at the #1 spot.

There are no new titles making their debut in the Top 10 this week, but several favorites have returned to the top of the charts after a few weeks absence, specifically two volumes of Naruto from Shonen Jump Manga / VIZ Media and the plucky but popular upstart, the first volume of the Lucky Star manga by Kagami Yoshimizu from Bandai Entertainment.

Three Del Rey Manga titles are proving to have staying power, as the latest volumes of Negima! by Ken Akamatsu and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle by CLAMP hold steady and the final volume of Kitchen Princess continues to draw shojo manga fans to the bookshops.

Here's the rest of the NY Times Manga Bestseller list:
