Our loss rate for manga is about the same as for most popular series like Snicket,
Capt. Underpants, Cirque du Freak, and some of
the award lists books.
However, partly because I've only been able to put about $800 into GN section in
last two years, they have a very heavy circ and
show more wear. I've had some checked out dozens of times so far this year (and
that doesn't count the probable 'let a friend read
it' use)
