I ran the numbers from the August & July Previews as well. Here are the histograms (you may need to click to see the larger version to read them fully):
TokyoPop:

Series 1 (blue) = September
Series 2 (red) = August
Series 3 (yellow) = July
For TokyoPop:
September: Count: 39; Median: 3
August: Count: 42; Median: 2
July: Count: 39; Median: 3
For Viz:
September: Count: 38; Median: 8.5
August: Count: 31; Median: 9
July: Count: 35; Median: 9
(Note: for both publishers, I did not count books/novels, just manga volumes.)
With three months of data, it looks like the pattern is holding; TokyoPop produces more manga with low volume numbers, and more new titles each month than Viz.
