Amazon Japan 2014 Mid-year Ranking Top 20 BL Manga

It's that time of the year in Japan when ranking sites like to list the bestsellers of the year so far. Amazon Japan conveniently sorts their bestsellers into genres including one for BL manga. There's also one for BL novels for anyone interested, but I'll just list the manga here. It covers the sales period 1st Dec 2013 to 31st May 2014, the date after each entry is date of publication (DD/MM/YYYY).

The date following each title is the publication date of the volume. Yoneda Kou rules, so much so that Doushitemo Furetakunai, published in 2008, has creeped back into the top 50.
