On this episode of Manga Mavericks, Colton & Lum once again catch up on some news, especially a lot of sales news, as they finally get back to covering both the New York Times Graphic Books & Manga and Bookscan lists to see where North American manga sales have gone in the past three months. They also discuss the yearly overall NPD Bookscan to see just how well manga has been selling in general (and spoiler alert: Manga has been selling EVEN BETTER then last year)!
