| Hehe, Kamachi's on there as always. I wonder what H2 will be like. |
| Glad to see Koimonogatari and Toaru are doing good. |

And MAL still didn't have anything about this series. The rest are...Kamachi, SWO, Monogatari,etc... Usual residents. |
| Index NT vol3 selling better than vol4. Well, vol4 is a kinda weird volume. And SAO has a larger sale in the latest volume than AW, though AW has 2 volumes in there. Will probably get a bigger boost once the anime airs. And lol, HSDxD getting in there. Anime did its job well. S2 when? |
 |
| At least Durarara!!'s still up there... |
 |
| ToAru Majutsu No Index and Durarara!!! next season anime where? |

There's already been two manga serializations of Biblia. http://natalie.mu/comic/news/64683 http://natalie.mu/comic/news/68953 Time to add them to the database. |
| Baka to test S3 Please. |

| Biblia Koshoten no Jikentecho looks good. I hope a good production studio get it. Koimonogatari!!! Someone translate it!!! Edit: Hoping for 2nd season of Durarara too. |

| koimonogatari and SAO doing good.. hell yeah |
  |
| What is H1? |
| Oh, Another is there, maybe the sequel will get animated, too? Everyone wants to see a second season of Durarara!! and just where is it, come on, Japan. The SAO anime didn't even air yet, I wonder how big the boost is going to be. |
Ovindel said: What is H1? Half One ? |
 |
| No surprise seeing TAMNI and SAO on top there. |
 |
Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: Ovindel said: What is H1? 1st half of financial/calendar year Kamachi Kazuma-Sensei + Toaru Majutsu No Index Index 3? Or Railgun 2? Let's hope so. |

| Glad to see Reki Kawahara's works doing well. Hope both adaptations would do well too. I really liked SAO LN's and Accel World looks good so far too. |
 |
| hell yeah Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament |
| Koimono... Good to see all the weeaboo bungholes didn't lose faith in a great series after the anime adaption is Nisemono... Silly, silly butthurt... So, so much of which went around. Can't wait for Koi and the best of the Bakemonogatari series to be turned into animu~~~ I'd rub mad tits to that no homo. |

Recently,there have been few novels such this as the hero is no hot-blood, does not train to be strong and the strongest from the beginning. 35, *49,677 Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai vol.1 dtshyk said: Here are the light novel sales rankings for the first half of the fiscal year of 2012.

AP24 said: If Hidan no Aria sells this well then they should make another season. The author says that more DVDs or Blue Rays have to be sold to make another season. I wish. |

dtshyk said: *1, 587,891 Biblia Koshoten no Jikentecho vol.1 *2, 446,631 Biblia Koshoten no Jikentecho vol.2 I want to read it just after looking at sales and cover. Seriously though, the info on that series is way too hard to obtain for something selling so good. |

The thing is I have no idea what it's about, FUCK are there any chinese sites about it?? Well, if it sells SO damn well, then I think I should know about it |

I've been wondering the same thing for quite some time. I find it surprising that it has so much success in Japan but that we can't find anything about the author or the novels on English sites. It's been some months since the novels sold really well. jikentecho = notebook case. I always thought "Jiken" meant event or incident. Koshoten = Old rare bookstore Judging by the illustrations and the bastardized google translator, the story seems to be based on a small quiet used bookstore run by a young beautiful woman. She seems very shy and anxious around customers. But she has a strong desire to understand old and rare books. |
