I'm surprised Magi is so far up.

I mean quality-wise it sure deserves it, but from fan-reactions I thought that many people stopped reading during the Alma Toran Flashback arc. I'm glad this impression turned out wrong and that Magi is still popular. That series sure deserves it.

And hey, look what's right behind it: Fairy Tail! I guess that answers the question of whether Japanese readers liked those chapters we found so lacking. I hope this works as a wake-up call to people complaining about Mashima not caring about his fans or the story anymore. If I got complaints by mail and twitter, but my sales numbers remain high, I'd also assume that the bad messages are from a very loud minority and that the majority approves.
