As a side note for light novels, especially, to explain why they often have two volume numbers: They’re usually subtitled with the name of the current plot arc, each arc taking two or three books that are commonly called “upper” and “lower” or “upper”, “middle”, and “lower”. With no analogous English, it’s my opinion that the best usage is “Series (vol. #): Subtitle (arc vol. #)”.
As for Soul Eater’s appearance, note that all total sales are since Oricon (and coincidentally I) started tracking; apparently the TV adaption has made volume 1 sell steadily in the 10,000 range, and this week things were stale enough to let it poke through into the top 30.
Finally, take note of lack of word wrap; if something looks like it extends out of the text column, it probably -does-.
