I think that's more of a bad luck case this week, because a lot of the new titles are very popular ones.

I can't believe Oi-shinbo is still running o.o! It's a manga with a (kind of) lame food commentator from some magazine as a main character. He acts lame, but his tongue is perfect +_+ I think he's son of famous cook but since he hates his father, he didn't become a cook or something. Oh well, you can just read the manga.
And I'm rather surprised to see Jaguar in top 10. I've read probably couple of chapter but lost interest… It contains full of joke and I heard one translator who attempted to translate this had a lot of trouble...
Why is Takaya Natsuki changed to Kouya Natsuki? o_O

LIMITED EDITION?! EXCLUSIVE 20TH CENTURY BOYS CD?! My urge to buy foregoes all others!
ROCK.
Yeah, it's safe to say OP'll rank a hell of a lot better next week. It still saddens me Amazon shipping takes two whole weeks for it to get here, but my manly spirit will breeze me through.
The CD simply contains the T. Rex song "20th Century Boy." So it's nothing particularly special. It's also cheap, only costs like 200-300 yen more than the regular volume.
Still, consider the fact that both versions are at the top of the chart. This means 20th CB sold more than twice as many copies as any other manga that week.

I'm a consumer whore. Anything with the words ''Limited Edition'' make me combust with buying urge. Well, not really. But put 20th Century Boys somewhere in that sentence and I'm game. I'm still irked I missed that special ''Kenji's Song'' CD, which still tickles my curiosity.
And honestly, I had no idea 20th CB was that popular.

One Piece going strong wooohoooooo!
Don't know if I should be saying this on a One Piece forum, but I think Naruto is a better show, im surpised One Piece sells more copys…..
Sadly you're opinion doesn't always effect the world in general. I personaly think One Piece is better than Naruto yet from what I understand Naruto outsells One Piece in the US. This is why I'm so glad to see it do so well in Japan. And while this may not be the place to discuss this, why do you feel Naruto is the better of the two?
Story, and action wise. In my personal Opinion the action is better in Naruto, and the story is super depressing, and dark. I like Dark shows…

Can I ask what chapter are you in now in One Piece?
Hunter X Hunter has gained second place once again. One piece take's the lead though.
You want dark and depressing, read Berserk. Naruto is a wimpy show compared to it, if I might say so.
Seen berserk, great show, havent read that manga, I seen alot of anime, from hellsing, to Elfen lied, haven't read too much manga though, and Naruto and One piece are the onlys ones i have, I dont know which chapter, around the same area as the anime, i dont like to go ahead of the anime. I know you prob going to tell me it gets more dark or something. But I just like the overall Thing of Naruto and the characters, Especially Naruto himself, his childhood is very much like my own, so I attach to it more, I aint saying its the best manga ever, Its just the one I related to the most. My fav anime, dont know if its a manga though, is Samurai X OVA, It was good.
NARUTO is getting dull for me, its just downwards after the timeskip

Well I only read the Viz graphic novels so I ain't very far in Naruto, but from what I've seen so far, personally I find the story to be iffy. The first arc was alright but I dunno… It reminded me to much of your average DBZ arc (heros meet bad guy, heros fight bad guy, heros go off and train, heros have re-match with bad guy, hero(es) tap into a dorment power and begint to kick bad guy's ass, hero(es) win). And having seen the Arlong arc I have to say that Naruto is going to have to ALOT to top it. Tell me, have you seen/read the Arlong arc?
As far as action goes, again I haven't seen/read much but from what little I've read, seen and heard about, I do feel that again the action has a bit to much in common with DBZ. I hear that characters often spend 15 minutes to power up before they fight. In the first arc, Sasuke and Naurto kept doing the same atatcks over and over and over again against Haku before Haku finally "killed" Sasuke (which to me I also see as a rip off of the infamous "Freiza kills Kururin, Goku turns Super Saiyan" scene and seeing as how Sasuke wakes up five minutes later, didn't really see the point of it). In One Piece when the characters fight, they get it over with as quickly as possible. They don't boast about how they're only using 10% of their true strength and after 15 minutes of powering up they'll be able to use another 40% (again the powering up comments come from what I've heard. If it can be proved that it doesn't happen like that, I will take them back). Plus in One Piece I feel the fights are better because of the story that takes part before them. Case in point, the Arlong arc. Before the final fight, we learn about Nami, her village and what Arlong has done to it. We learn of the deal between Nami and Arlong and we see Arlong using a loop hole to betray her. It is only after all this is done that Luffy and the rest of them decide it's about time they handed Arlong his ass on a silver platter. And because of this, I felt the fight was ten times better. They don't rush in to fight him the second they meet him. They give it time for us to grow to hate the villain. OK, so I've only seen one arc, but if that's how most of the Naruto villains will be introduced, rankly I don't think the action will be as good because the story behind it won't be as good.
But you know what, it's all down to personal opinion. If you like Naurto over OP, fair enough. You're a different person to me with your own tastes. I respect that. But personally I don't really see how people can prefer Naruto for the reasons I've stated above (and again, if I can be proven wrong on some of the things I have said, I will take back those statements. Also I hate spoilers so please don't post any).

[snapback]89370[/snapback]I must say, thank you. You've really made my day. I haven't had a laugh like that for a while. Seriously, Naruto is hardly dark. It's about a blonde kid who runs around with the vocabulary of like, "DATTE BA YO", "YURUSENEE" and "NANDE". Now I like Naruto, the series, I don't, however, like Naruto the character. So don't start flaming me about hating Naruto and shit, 'cause I don't. I just think it's a gross misjudgement to call it "dark". Seriously, that's like saying Luffy kills too much, or that Ishida(Bleach) is a good shinigami.
Will first off, I cant prove anything if I can't spoil, lol so I'll just say, yes it is simalar to DBZ, but so is One Piece is my eyes, and Naruto doesnt do the 1 whole episodes power up thing like DBZ, it has power ups, but not quite like DBZ. I do Prefer that type of action, the power thing has a nice touch to it. And One Piece also did that Good guy fights Bad guy, they loses and comes back stornger( Croc fight)
[snapback]89370[/snapback]_
Umm.. I don't get this about comparing DBZ to Naruto/OP… In my eyes, they are hardly similar at all. First of all, DBZ is like, intergalactic powers and stuff, while Naruto and One Piece are at a more realistic level. Not realistic, just MORE realistic THAN DBZ. Also, I hardly think spoiler for people who haven't read/watched the entire arabasta-arc Luffy got STRONGER after getting beaten by Crocodile. He just thought of using water in the second fight, failed, and then his blood worked the same way in the third fight. I really see no specific resemblances between the three, except they all were/are in Shonen Jump. One Piece is One Piece, Naruto is Naruto, and DBZ is DBZ. Oda is Oda, Kishimoto is Kishimoto, and Toriyama is Toriyama. If you can give me a good, reasonable reason why they are alike, aside from stuff like "they aren't real" or "they do <insert random="" regular="" thing="" here="">in both/all three", for example they fight a villian, lose, come back, win, then please tell me.</insert>

Will first off, we will look at all the 3 series and there Main Character, Goku, Naruto, and Luffy. All 3 of them are stupid, all 3 of them eat alot, they act different in some ways, but in alot of ways they are simalar, more Goku and luffy, then Naruto. Also they allways fight some big enemy, that Goku, Naruto or Luffy comes and beats up. They overall themes, they have the same "feel" to them, I mean there not about the same thing, but you got you Pure good guy, (Goku, Luffy,Naruto) , Then your Not so pure sidekicks (Vegeta, Sasuke, One piece really doesnt have that part…lol) Naruto and DBZ both are simalar with the power ups. Thats all I can think up off the top of my head, I am sure there is more.....</insert>_
I don't agree. Sorry, I just don't. Okay, they're the same type of genre– A Battle-action-type with a good guy.
But I hardly agree that Goku is stupid-- He is in DB, but weren't we talking DBZ?
In DBZ he's hardly stupid, imho. He's a battle genius.
Naruto? Eats alot? Doubtfully. He eats ramen WHEN he eats, but he doesn't eat alot.
And about the sidekick-part... SPOILER, Do NOT read if you're not caught up with the Naruto Anime/Manga
Sasuke is hardly a unpure sidekick, Sasuke is a traitor. I never thought of Sasuke as a good guy, just an arrogant ego. And then he went to Orochimaru, so I started to think of him as a traitor :P.
They have the basic elements, but many shonen-manga build from the same stuff, but that's not enough to compare them IMHO.
Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Flame of Recca, DBZ, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, perhaps even Get Backers.
They simply build from the same stuff. Not enough to compare them as the same kind of stuff. That's what I think anyway.

uhhhh Goku not stupid? yes he is a battle genius so is naruto and luffy, but other then that there all complete and other morons, I mean really….they have no sense out of battle.
Yes Naruto eats alot, there are quite a few scenes where he has eaten alot of ramen.
Sasuke one confuses me.. I didnt understand what you were trying to say in that, and how that is not a unpure sidekick....cause right after that you said he you never though of him as a good guy, that would make him unpure.....O.o
Haven't seen much of those others shows, but like you said, the build from the same stuff, making them simalar :) I rest my case lol
I could go on about this, but, you know, this isn't the right thread. Or the right board, for that matter.
Yeah sry about that, got off topic, anyways, back on topic, it's pretty cool One piece is number 1, it seems to be alot.
on a side note: If you want to PM your point of view, that would be cool.
One piece is a really nice anime, and the manga is also great!
Yeah i know that Naruto and One Piece are like 2 Big Famous JUMP creations and its hard to decide which is better.
some people may not like one piece….maybe its because its weird???but if you try reading/watching it...you'll find out its really very awesome!
I sometimes think it has a much moire interesting plot compared to naruto!
Sorry about that. It's my fault as I asked Minzara for his opinions and got a bit carried away.
I'm really getting tired of Naruto. the anime at least. the pacing is just horrible.. I'm sorry but I have better things to do than watch Orochimaru kill Hokage over the period of like 10 episodes(the sword was already in him but it took 10 episodes if not more for him to finnaly die) or spend 5 episodes watching naruto try to pop a balloon..
but ya back on topic. yay onepiece.
yes the naruto anime is getting annoying and one piece is much better anyways
One Piece being #1 is hardly new. There have been some low points but overall it's easily the most popular/best-selling manga of the past 5 years. Naruto has never been particularly close. HxH and PoT typically end up ahead of it, and I think Death Note now does too, though who knows how long that series will go.
