In regards to sales neither Medaka or Akaboshi made the Oricon top 30 this week, but Medaka Box is getting a reprint of Volume 1 on October 19th and Akaboshi on the 22nd. Going by the Oricon top 30 they both sold under 28,696 copies, but with both getting reprints it seems they didn't expect many sales in the first place.

To compare.. Kuroko no Basket which has 8 color pages this year in WSJ did 20,445 in it's first week, PSYREN vol 2 did 15,546. A "hit manga" figure would be the following..

154,675 (Bakuman) 1
69,177 (Toriko) 1
51,163 (Beelzebub) 1
48,495 (Nurarihyon no Mago) 1

Those 4 are pretty much the next big things out of WSJ, Mago has a stellar VA cast for it's Drama cd, Toriko is getting a jump special anime, Beelzebub is the WSJ hit of 2009 and Bakuman is another hit for the Death Note duo.

lol @ pointing something out as being criticism. My line applies to myself as well as KLGChaos and others.
