The New York Times charts are usually really boring, dominated by whatever Shounen Jump manga was most recently released. The last two weeks have been very interesting though, especially this week. Suddenly the charts are dominated by classics, seinen, and classic seinen. Nice to see a wider range of manga charting this week.

I agree. Seeing Black Jack, Gon, and Kingyo Used Books on the list is really refreshing. It makes me more hopeful for the industry that people's tastes seem to be broadening.
