Fruits Basket Volume 17 is the only manga on USA Today's August 13–19 list of the nation's 150 best-selling books. However, after entering the list at #99 last week, the volume has now climbed to #34. This is the third highest position any volume of Fruits Basket has ever held.
Volume 14 placed at #24, while volume 16 rose the highest of any manga to ever appear on the list, reaching the #15 spot in April of this year. Of the 17 volumes of Fruits Basket that have been released in the US so far, 14 have appeared on the USA Today list.
Both of the other manga that were on the list last week (Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 14 and Bleach Volume 20) failed to return.

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II Blu-Ray
There are reasons to watch this movie: fine individual scenes, fun cameos, interesting alterations. They're exceedingly small charms, though, for a film that squanders so many large ones.

It seems an odd thing to say that one of the darkest, grittiest, most libidinous interpretations of Lupin's world is the most feminine, but like Fujiko, the contradiction begets the intrigue. 2013-08-20

Blue Morning GN 1As it continues, Blue Morning has the potential to really develop into an involving, interesting story with some weighty emotional ground. If Katsuragi grows as a character into someone we can like or at least sympathize with, then this story could go places.

Appleseed XIII BD+DVD
The first series version of Masamune Shirow's renowned manga deserves credit for its ambitious use of CG, symbolism, and allusions to Greek mythology, but it wields its symbolism like a blunt weapon and its episodes vary too widely in quality.

Akira Toriyama's talents are clear to see, with the ever-growing roster of characters, a joyful sense of adventure, and visuals that are cuddly and cute yet action-packed.
Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic GN 1
It is clear that this series is only just getting started. There are some pacing and story issues that look as though they will even out as the tale continues on, and overall Magi's first volume has a lot of promise.
