As one can tell, Nina Einstein's Table Top Yoga instructional has been a major hit in both its book and video forms. Manga has been particular dominant in the graphic novel section, with the very popular No-Ramen and CAN occupying the top spots, and rising star Kai Shin's 2m from the tracks and love notes have been steadily ascending the charts. Shinji Ikari had the distinction of having works listed in both the fiction ("A Coward's Story") and non-fiction ("To Go Like a Man") sections--a rare feat, indeed. Lastly, Robotech Galaxy, formerly known as "Macross Frontier" in Japan, premiered to very strong sales in its first week.
