I realize this would probably take a good deal of work, but one suggestion I have is to make the listings hotlinks to that particular trade on Amazon, or somewhere similar. It might help nudge people that are on the fence about getting something.
Arc 180901: Flight of the Dreadnought
Just thought of another one:

Foamy: you have the On My Goddess listings all wrong:
First, the series is up to vol 32
Second, the volumes with titles are no longer in print, just the smaller unflopped, untitled volumes
Third, the "titled" volumes also have a Volume 19/20 Sora Unchained
I was going off what I could confirm from a combination of InStockTrades, Wiki, and Amazon.
It said there were actually like 39 volumes or something, but I only listed the ones I could fine titles for.

I'll add more of my ratings later, but since I just bought and read this one...
Batman: The Long Halloween TPB +1

Didn't they go back and rerelease the OMG volumes? Because I vaguely recall something about how the issues were sorted in the original releases, being somewhat problematic.

Oh My Goddess vols 2-18: +1
(Also, +1 to any more OMG volumes you might add. I already voted +1 on the first volume.)

In othere words: yes, they are in the process of re-releasing the OMG volumes. Alternateing a new volume and a re-released volume every cycle (2 months.) They started it with the Japanese equivelent to vol. 21 and are up to vol. 33 of the new volumes and vol. 12 of the re-releases. And like I said, the older titled ones that are already reprinted are no longer in print/you're less likely to find in regular bookstore.

Warning: 18+ only, it gets a bit saucy.

We have a sticky! Woot!
I'll be updating the lists and ratings today and making a couple of changes, such as adding a text title for the publishing company posts and looking for a way to include titles from the publishing companies that aren't already.
