So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

The numbers for mondaiji-tachi vol 7 don't add up. It was 17.1k last week so a score of 29.3k this week would give a total of 46.4k

I assume that was a typo, it did 25,3k this week.
Yep, corrected. Corrected the volume number of Hatarakou Maou-sama too.

Yes it has two LN. One is Zero, about the plastication incident; and one is the LN for the anime which has 2 volumes.

Glad to see Mondaiji selling.
Now we can hope for a 2nd season :)

Happy to see Blood Lad and OPM too :D

Btw wasn't Hungry Joker supposed to be on the list? Since it's not does that mean it didn't sell well?

Damn...I was hoping that at least it sells well enough to keep it from getting axed with those bad rankings it's been having :(

With how well the manga and discs are selling, a 4th season is pretty much guaranteed.

We just need to wait for the manga to get ahead since there's not enough material for the anime atm sadly :(

Started reading Blood Lad back when it was only ch.3 or 4, not that I Think it's bad (actually like it to some degree) guess I'm just surprised at how much popularity it has gotten, really didn't see it ever being a manga that would get an adaptation ...

Anyways surprised, but happy, to see Drifters up there.

Index has been the #1 or #2 Light Novel series for the last four years... Why are it's sales so low... it's only been 4 months since the last release? Is it really that long? Hopefully, volume 7 will change that on May 10, 2013...

Ame_Sama said:

I know RDG is a regular novel. It is just that the LN section actually covers any book that is LN or LN/manga/anime related (but not manga itself). So an One Piece art album, for example, will also go into the "LN section". It can be a bit confusing but we reckon having 2 rankings (manga and "LN & others") is better than maintaining a number of fragmented rankings for every possible category.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

These are the WEEKLY sales lists. They are what sold LAST WEEK. Most people buy books THE WEEK THEY COME OUT. This means no matter how popular they are, most only sell for a few weeks after they come out. The exception to this is sometimes when a new anime is announced or something like that, people will suddenly discover a series that came out some time ago and there will be an exceptional set of sales.

Gintama 48 came out February 4th so it is not on the chart months later.

Gintama 49 is coming out May 2nd. Look for it on the charts the week after, on the 9th, 10th or so the April 30-May 6 chart will come out.

It will be a long wait for the next yearly list but Gintama was #13 in 2012:

I've always wandered why is Gintama not on those weekly lists?? Sorry I don't understand these things -____- it's just I thought Gintama is popular in Japan!!


These are the WEEKLY sales lists. They are what sold LAST WEEK. Most people buy books THE WEEK THEY COME OUT. This means no matter how popular they are, most only sell for a few weeks after they come out. The exception to this is sometimes when a new anime is announced or something like that, people will suddenly discover a series that came out some time ago and there will be an exceptional set of sales.

Gintama 48 came out February 4th so it is not on the chart months later.

Gintama 49 is coming out May 2nd. Look for it on the charts the week after, on the 9th, 10th or so the April 30-May 6 chart will come out.

It will be a long wait for the next yearly list but Gintama was #13 in 2012:
