Shonen manga (comics for boys) circulations

As I mentioned below, only Gan Gan is available in amazon.
I suppose mass-circulation magazines are sold at every bookstore, convenience store or kiosk, they don't need to be sold online. Above all, if it is a weekly magazine, it gets out of date too quickly.
I translated the report on the magazine circulations (average number per issue from September 1, 2003 to August 31, 2004) I found in Japan Magazine Publishers Association website.
Numbers with "*" are estimations which are not verified. (W) stands for "weekly" and (M) for "monthly"
