Sailor Moon movie VOL 3 manga topped

In American bookstores for January the third volume of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon manga topped Nielsen BookScan's top 20 graphic novels. It was the fourth time in five months that the manga ranked #1 on the chart since the manga returned in September. In addition, Takeuchi has two more books in the top 20: Sailor Moon volume 2 at #10 and volume 1 at #16.


 In the top 20: volume 54 at #3, volume 53 at #8, and Naruto: The Official Character Data Book at #19, Naruto also had three books. The retail news source ICv2 lists Rosario + Vampire Season II volume 7 at #4, followed by Black Bird volume 12 at #6.
