Best Seller list for manga
published in the United States was introduced on March 5, 2009, along with two additional lists for hardcover and paperback graphic novel
s. The three lists are grouped under the "Graphic Books" category. Deborah Hoffman, an editor for the Best Seller lists, explained that the term "Graphic Books" was selected to create an "inclusive and expansive" list which can extend to works of both fiction and non-fiction. Journalist George Gustines
announced, in his introduction of the new lists, "Comics have finally joined the mainstream." The announcement was made the week the film Watchmen
, based on the comic book of the same name
, was released in movie theaters throughout the U.S. The Best Seller lists are printed weekly in The New York Times Book Review
magazine, which is published in the Sunday edition of The New York Times and as a stand-alone publication.
Gustines explained the methodology used to determine the rankings:
On multiple occasions, manga have been listed outside its designated list. Mike Kiley, then-Senior Vice President of the publisher Tokyopop
, explained in 2010 that it has become more difficult to draw a distinguishing line between works that are manga and manga-inspired, such as Korean manhwa
and American original English language (OEL) manga
. A Drifting Life
, an autobiographical manga by Yoshihiro Tatsumi
, appeared on the May 3, 2009, Best Seller list for paperback graphic novels, where it ranked third. X-Men: Misfits, an original English manga based on the X-Men comic book franchise, ranked fifth at its debut on the August 30, 2009, paperback graphic novels list, and stayed on the chart for five consecutive weeks. The first volume of a manhwa adaptation of the popular vampire-themed Twilight novels by Stephanie Meyer remained on the hardcover graphic novels Best Seller list for 27 consecutive weeks in 2010.

, 9 weeks; Vampire Knight

, 4 weeks; Negima!
, 3 weeks; Chibi Vampire, 1 week; Fullmetal Alchemist
, 1 week; and Warriors: Ravenpaw's Path, 1 week. Naruto and Warriors: Ravenpaw's Path were the only two titles to reach the top rank on the week of their debut.
The Best Seller list debuted at a time when the release schedule of Naruto was being accelerated; its releases occupied a majority of the first weekly top ten rankings. Junjo Romantica became the first yaoi
(boys' love) title to enter the Best Seller list when it debuted in week 28. Death Note
s L: Change the World became the first light novel
to enter the top ten rankings in week 43. Adam Kepler noted that vampire literature had become popular over the previous year, and he featured Vampire Knight in the introduction to the week 46 list. It was the first manga title to be featured in the introduction which accompanies list.
, and Rosario + Vampire: Season II
were the only three titles to reach the top rank on the week of their series debut. In this first full year of the Best Seller list, 15 titles reached the top of the weekly list (in order of number of weeks at the top of the list, from highest to lowest): Naruto, 19 weeks; Bleach, 4 weeks; Negima!, 4 weeks; Rosario + Vampire: Season II, 4 weeks; Vampire Knight, 4 weeks; Black Bird
, 2 weeks; Black Butler, 2 weeks; Fullmetal Alchemist, 2 weeks; Hetalia: Axis Powers, 2 weeks; Maximum Ride, 2 weeks; Warriors: Ravenpaw's Path, 2 weeks; Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, 2 weeks; Alice in the Country of Hearts, 1 week; Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle
, 1 week; and Ouran High School Host Club
, 1 week.
Black Butler was the first release published by Yen Press
to reach the top rank. Gustines observed that the week 45 releases of Bakuman
, D.Gray-man
, and Otomen
demonstrated the diversity of the Viz Media
's publishing line. Bakuman features a slice of life story, D.Gray-man contains demon-slaying, while Otomen is a romance series. Viz Media also introduced an aggressive release schedule for One Piece
in 2010, releasing five volumes per month between January and June to bring the volume count of the English release from 24 to 53. On two separate occasions, five One Piece volumes (39–43 in week 15 and 44–48 in week 19) debuted on the Best Seller list simultaneously. Week 19 was also the first time a Naruto release did not appear in the top ten rankings.
Deb Aoki noted that while the second volume of Hetalia: Axis Powers debuted at the top of the Best Seller list, the series may be selling more than the charts indicate because The New York Times does not include sales from digital download sites such as comiXology
and Zinio
. Black Butler became the first title other than Naruto to have four different releases listed simultaneously on the rankings in week 5. Week 24 saw a high turnover from the previous week's list as nine new releases, all published by Viz Media, entered the rankings. The high turnover occurred again in week 28 when eight new releases entered the weekly list, with only Naruto and Vampire Knight remaining from the previous week.
