about the charts

##

Correction: The series Alice in the Country of Joker: Circus & Liar’s Game, tracked in the charts since 17 June, was incorrectly listed as a Yen Press title. Alice in the Country of Joker is actually from Seven Seas. The charts affected have been edited, but I wanted to apologize again for the error.
