Black Butler was the first release published by Yen Press to reach the top rank. [1] Gustines observed that the week 45 releases of Bakuman , D.Gray-man , and Otomen demonstrated the diversity of the Viz Media's publishing line. Bakuman features a slice of life story, D.Gray-man contains demon-slaying, while Otomen is a romance series. [2] Viz Media also introduced an aggressive release schedule for One Piece in 2010, releasing five volumes per month between January and June to bring the volume count of the English release from 24 to 53. [3] On two separate occasions, five One Piece volumes (39–43 in week 15 and 44–48 in week 19) debuted on the Best Seller list simultaneously. [4] Week 19 was also the first time a Naruto release did not appear in the top ten rankings. [4]
