Tokyopop has released information on its bestsellers to libraries through several wholesalers serving that channel. On a per-volume basis, two titles came up with the majority of the top slots -- Fruits Basket and the Spongebob Squarepants Cine-Manga. Fruits Basket, of course, is the most popular shoujo title currently being published, and Spongebob Squarepants has already racked up impressive sales into the school market through Scholastic (see 'Scholastic Sells Half a Million Spongebob Cine-Manga').
