Overlord is still doing very well, not really surprising. Too bad Madhouse is rushing it since they probably want to do everything and anything in their power to avoid making a season 2. I swear it's like second seasons are just taboo and unacceptable for them.

Really hoping Hataraku Maou-sama gets a second season.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Heh, I was just about to mention this.

Also kinda interesting to see this on the list:
> 10. 11,026 *11,026 Magdala de Nemure Vol.7

I wonder when this will get an anime adaptation. Could work nicely.

Ah Eromanga-sensei, new volume to add to next months import list. Still haven't read past the first chapter (so far behind on so much). Hope it gets an anime someday.

Nourin sales so low disappoints me though, haven't read the books but if they're anywhere near as funny as the anime was then they'd be pure comedy gold. Might add them to my list to buy as well.

This would be very good !! I think it could repeat the success of Spice and Wolf ...
Besides, I'm happy to see the novel in the ranking, bur with the advertising of the anime it could do better !
What do you think about the planetarium? That beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter when....

This. By far the best title in the list this week AFAIK.
And it's going to be around 10 volumes according to the author, which means that if it doesn't get any announcement in the next year, that probably means it's never going to get one (since after it's finished the chances of getting one drops like hell).

It would really be too bad, because it's a very good series, and that it has a simmilar feel with the other medieval series from the same author, spice and wolf.
In other words, properly adapting this series in anime= getting another gem like spice and wolf in anime.
If we get to the end of the LN series without getting an anime, then that's a loss for any anime watcher like me who enjoy that kind of story far more than most of the stuff we're getting each season.

Really really love Spice and Wolf novel so I'd be glad to see more of the author's works animated. She sure knows how to make world and characters feel genuine.

I am dreading a possible (inevitable?) anime adaptation of "Eromanga-sensei" though. Sounds like just the title to feed to the mindless masses that are japanese otaku.

Generally between 500-650 yen if it's a bunko format release (which most light novels are). Light novels that are not bunko format will usually cost more - Overlord is 1080 yen per volume, for instance.

At present 1 dollar is 120 yen, but the dollar/yen exchange rate fluctuations would have no impact on the prices of the volumes.
