for first volume sales since 2000, bakemonogatari is at number 1 with madoka at number 2, topping many famous series such as gundam seed & destiny, code geass, kyoto animation series, etc.
this says alot about future potential of SHAFT anime series. i believe if they keep this up, they can completely outrun sunrise and kyoto animation as the best selling studio (they already are as their 2 best shows are number 1 and 2)
