After a few months with the manga releases falling pretty far down within the top twenty, they've made a significant comeback for July according to ICv2. Several volumes of Naruto are in the top ten alongside the latest volume of Fruits Basket from Viz Media and TOKYOPOP respectively while a small variety of other titles round out the remainder of the top twenty. Not surprisingly, there's a lot of competition for the top spot with how Watchmen has generated interest this year alongside with the Dark Knight propelling DC's releases into very strong numbers. Movie related tie-ins are still pretty dominant overall with even the Wanted graphic novel getting into the top ten.
