The Character of Sources, part II

[a follow-up in spirit to this post]
An aside: Hiatus
You might have noticed, the heretofore-weekly manga bestsellers are late. (really late)
I didn’t post the online bestsellers yesterday — and I’m not posting anything today either, in keeping with my new year’s resolution to post nothing to the blog.

Top 150 Manga, 30 December 2007
