Perfect news to troll.
hanta hanta !! where are you !?
I’m so happy that silver spoon(from fma’s author) is doing so well with just 3 volumes
So long as Shingeki no Kyojin is on the top 10, I don’t really mind what else is on the list because that Manga is incredible.
Yotsubato! also nearly made it top 10 for individual volume sales as well so that’s pretty good.
