A very different list to the Amazon Japan 2013 bestsellers I posted yesterday, with several of the above not in the top 50 bestsellers including, curiously enough, the no.1 title, Tokyo Shinjuu. This blogger says that it was originally a doujinshi so perhaps it only received a limited print run but gained a following in digital format? I count only three of the above titles licensed in English so here's hoping that we'll see some more soon!
