Naruto fans cheer and cheer loud. ICv2 reports that Scott Pilgrim has been defeated in the monthly sales of graphic novels in the USA by none other than Naruto. Volume 49 (available from November 10th), took the top spot in sales. This was the first time since June that the Scott Pilgrim franchise has not been sitting at the top of the charts.

Due to the enormous succes of the manga book Hetalia – we have had to cancel our Hetalia Season 1 DVD and Manga bundle.

We will cancel any orders in the system for the bundle. If your stores would like the DVD only, please contact our sales admin hotline 03 9415 8900
We apologise for any inconvenience. This notice will also be posted up on the b2b site.

Dear fans and loyal customers,

Madman regrets to inform you that due to the overwhelming demand for the first volume of the Hetalia Axis Powers manga, we have had to cancel the special DVD and manga bundle originally set for release on November 3rd 2010.

Hetalia Axis Powers is currently gaining lots of momentum and has even topped the New York Times best seller list as the number 1 manga in the USA. Jump on board the phenomenon now by ordering your copy of the manga today.

Due to 2 faulty masters which Universal haven’t been able to replace in time, we will need to delay Season 7 of Ironside.
As we cannot guarentee that we will be able to have this in time pre Christmas, we are going to re present this title in February 2010.
Please note that if we receive any orders for this title, we will cancel these out.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
