Kodansha Comics' Sailor Moon vol 1 and Codename: Sailor V vol 1 occupied the first and second positions respectively, reports ICv2.
The consistently chart-topping Naruto fell to third place with its 52nd volume, followed by Craig Thompson's long-awaited Habibi graphic novel in fourth.
Sailor Moon has been out of print in an English-language edition for the last six years.
The reprinting will take the same format as the Japanese re-release in 2003, with 12 main volumes planned and two extra volumes of short stories.
Codename: Sailor V is a two-volume prequel to the series.
The manga first debuted in 1992, alongside an anime series that helped to boost its popularity across the world.
