THAT is an interesting observation from the security POV wrt  
identifying leaked documents.

I'll bring in anything anyone asks for.  Manga is not my  
wheelhouse.  BUT, lately MORE and MORE kids have been asking  
for this genre. There seems to be so many different authors and  
series - it's hard to know what is best to bring in for sale.

But a quick search sorted by "bestselling" produces this:

Do they correspond to what you might perceive to be popular in  
your country right now?

I'm going to give some of those a review and bring in a few  
that list at the top.
