 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I'm curious. Did Hidan no Aria always sell this much? |

AP24 said: Konoetan said: I'm curious. Did Hidan no Aria always sell this much? Yes, in fact Hidan no Aria is considered MF Bunko J's best-selling LN series having the most number of copies in print. Source for that? Most recent source I could find put Haganai on top, which matches what would be expected from the sales figures (it has half as many volumes but the average volume sold well over twice as much as the average Aria volume), and I don't think there's any data for Zero no Tsukaima since 2011, when it was only 10% below Aria's tally as of more than 3 years later. |

| If Aria is 7m then I'd expect Haganai to be close to 10m by now. UNLESS, that is, Aria's figure includes AA, which sells about as well as the Aria manga, and would mean that it's likely that more of Aria's sales aside from during the anime boost have come from manga than novels, whereas for Haganai the sales would be relatively heavily skewed towards the novels (almost certainly triple as many sales for the novels as for the manga even now), and we don't have any sales data for Zero no Tsukaima's manga, which would indicate at least a 6:1 novel:manga split when you factor in the number of volumes. The fact that Aria was only 5m just 2 years earlier would suggest that AA is included. Either that or there are a heck of a lot of Aria volumes sitting in some warehouse somewhere. If your figures for ZnT and HnA are correct, and AA is included in HnA, then I would speculate at about 4m for novels and 3m for manga for Aria, and about 5.5-6m for novels and 600k-1m for manga for ZnT. Haganai probably about 6.5-7m for novels and 2-2.5m for manga. If AA isn't included then it's hard to make Aria's figure for the last couple of years make sense (it isn't a series that shows signs of having an extremely strong tail, which it would need). I would agree that those three are likely MF Bunko J's biggest titles, but I'm pretty sure Aria is third of the three, and likely by quite some distance. |

| Toradora wants pushing up - even the very last volume sold over 150k. 200k average is possible there but it definitely wants to be on the 150k one at least. Saiunkoku Monogatari is at least 150k+ Boukyaku Tantei series is known to be 100k+ and is almost certainly 150k+ Kokuhaku Yokou-Renshuu is known to be 100k+ and is probably 150k+ Other than that, and ignoring hit series that ended before the sales data started like Slayers, manga spin-offs, and things of questionable status, that looks reasonable at least. edit: Kotenbu series is almost certainly in the 200k+ category - 929k known sales from 5 volumes, and the sales from the first few years after release aren't included. edit again: removed mention of CSR - I didn't realise how many volumes it ran on for. Still very likely 100k+ though |
