I don't know of any hard numbers but it seems like here manga sales in the first half of 2013 grew by double digits. I guess the numerous and crappy shoujo and shouen ai titles are selling very well, new and interesting license acquirements on the other hand are few and far between.

Random list of series I know I liked and actually remember them in no order:
-Pokemon Adventures
-Hoshin Engi
-Seishun Forget!
-Tonari no Seki-kun
-Sket Dance
There's probably some other series I read but don't remember right now that I probably gushed over them in this very thread.

I had no idea so many people liked Adachi and H2 in particular.

Shokugeki no Soma 46
Well that was a nice chapter to hurry and carry us forward to the next arc, good Takumi panel or so, as well as the cooking scene with the dude in the black shirt. Looking forward to secret weapons.
Somas expression in his final glance to hayama when he was on the floor was the best one in the chapter.

Yup, I'm pleasantly surprised. This reminds me it's been over 2 months since the last chapter of Mix

I think I read FMA more because I own the entire series whereas with Eyeshield, I only own the first eight and end up reading the rest online.
It was the first Adachi manga I read all the way through so I learned about his bad endings, but overall the ride was amazing.

Adachi's endings are great (well except for Q&A). He resolves the important conflict and doesn't waste time with stuff that seems important but is actually secondary (who won the Koshien, set the world record, etc).

Some nice Tadokoro panels in there.
That training montage would have gone great with "Eye of the Tiger" in the background. I hope the anime puts in a cheesy training montage song whenever that occurs.
I'm calling this too: Curry Guy is going to talk about his love of spices all goddamn day and make a superior curry. Soma will admit he can't catch up to Curry Guy's mastery of curry itself, but will point out that the theme was "Curry Dish," not just curry, and the rest of his dish will push it ahead of Curry Guy's. Curry Guy will be hit by Defeat Means Friendship.

Miyuki's ending was terrible.
Yes, I'm still salty.
And yes, aside from that you're absolutely right

I thought Soma was indicating that he himself would lose and be alright with it.

No, that wasn't quite what he meant; he said he can't "worry about" losing. He was trying to explain why he doesn't get nervous about his shortcomings the way that Tadokoro does.
But I think that is the gist - the Curry Guy does in fact have a special talent for curry that Soma can't just get past, but I think the point here is going to be that simply having better curry doesn't mean anything in the scope of the entire dish because its perfectly plausible he's a shittier cook than Soma is in every other respect.
I loved Miyuki, ending included QQ
Probably up there as one my most liked with Jinbe and Cross Game.
I dunno, it's not that I can't stand

I think the Young Jump chapter already got published (and the US Jump got it).
That and to boost DVD sales. Well one thing leads to another. Maybe. I hope not.

They already have doujins for this kind of thing, I don't get why these need to exist other than the author being creepy as all fuck.

Hey, I'm sure it's easier to pretend that you girl of choice has won the Haruto if the art comes from the author himself. I mean why wouldn't you want to pay a premium price to see her banging a dude, it's a genius ploy.

Tadokoro is so good ya'll. It's nuts. How can someone be that good.
Feels good to have a Jump protagonist that isn't shocked and stricken with grief when he doesn't appear to be completely invincible, as long as he is determined. You don't come across this very often, lemme tell you. Actually I don't recall any other example.
I could go on forever on how many things I liked about this chapter slash series (the Jun-Hayama interaction is pretty amazing so far) but I'll keep it there.
also :lol @ isshiki sleeping

Assassination Classroom 63
Obligatory Death Note reference and even in magazine advertising...nice. The visual imagery for the airborne pathogen (oddly I work on airborn pathogens, I guess) was the most striking thing though kind of a bit too much.
Ultimately, lived up to my expectations for the spoilers, Karasuma-sensei is epic.

Tadokoro already lost.

Glad to see AoT volume 2 outselling the first volume- means people are sticking to it instead of just checking out the first book.

Best Ending!? 1
This is like a dream prompt come true if only. Mainly the idea of Sakura going to playing his sisters otome game and getting hooked on wanting change and then practicing it at the cafe to win affection and such. Then using those lines mistakenly on a guy and then getting him hooked too and so on. Looking forward to more and if he can keep it up. Such a perfect waiter. The art is amazing.

I should get around to ordering it.
Space Brothers vol 1-2
Watched about 60 episodes of the anime, dropped it when the manga got announced here.
It'll basically be a "re-read" for a while, but damn, it's just too good. Even though I know what happens it's such a pleasure to read, and it's definitely my favorite seinen ever.

Wait is this in the US? I would love to buy a few volumes.
Japan, France (where I live), Italy, and maybe some other countries.
Though it's available digitally on the new Crunchyroll Manga service.
