A few things to note:

-Detective Conan was in 11th place last week before jumping to 1st.

-Shonen Magazine manga (Area no Kishi, Air Gear, Fairy Tail etc.) all experienced good 2nd week sales after being released towards the end of the week last time.

-Uchuu Kyoudai and Ookiku Furikabutte started off strong as representatives of Kodanhsa's seinen manga.
