  well this is interesting: the full list has Nyankoi! (volume 1) at 28th place, with 1,784 copies sold. However, this is apparently data for the BD version only, with the DVD sales not being included. It’s a pretty good series, so I hope the DVDs sold alright.

Last thing we need is to rush him and have EVERYTHING resolved in a few measly chapters (or even one year, which is a respectable amount of time but still a small fraction of this series’ lifespan).

  actually, he supposedly planned out the ending a long time ago.

  An irony must be noted in the fact that so many people bash on Nintendo, and yet one of their top system-sellers is a crossover featuring all of their IPs that these same people often claim to be too good for. Anyway, Smash Bros. still seems a good ways off, considering no release date has been announced at this point, so I’m hoping the Wii U’s sales pick up earlier than that. Pikmin 3 should certainly help this summer.
