| Weekly list from last week. It got delayed, which I apologize for. |

| Damn KamiNomi kicked out of the list. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| KANCOLLE !!!! *1, 56,016 *56,016 Kantai Collection -KanColle- Chinjufu Seikatsu no Susume Vol.1 Number 1 !!! And it is just the unofficial guidebook... 28. *28,610 *,*80,071 Kantai Collection ~KanColle~ Anthology Comic: Yososuka Chinjufu-hen Vol.1 A manga making its way back into the chart 4 weeks after its publication! It first appeared in "Japan's Weekly Manga and Light Novel Rankings for Sep 09 - 14" thread. Then it went out of stock in many places and apparently the sales after the reprint and restock is even stronger than its 1st week. Truly amazing.... !!!! |
| 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. |
| Happy to see Chihayafuru 22 still charting, season 3 winter 2015 maybe? Please! *8, 13,022 *16,231 Kokoro Connect Precious Time ... 13, *8,294 *12,211 Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru Vol.6 And glad that the anime start has given NouCome a bump. Volume 4 seems to have charted when the anime was green-lit in March while 5 was forgotten by many, including me (I ordered it late). Volume 6 is funny again! And as always it ends with, "1. to be continued (Japanese) 2. to be continued (English)" so it seems there will be volume 7! I was worried when neither of them charted the week before but I guess they had just been out for a day or two so most of the sales were this week. Would be a miracle to rank for another week? Hope so but we'll see... |
| Yay for KnK, Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, and Haikyuu!! A lot of Snk stuff up there as well, cool. I'm hoping Haikyuu! will be adapted well. I've started reading the manga recently. |
 |
*1. 364,400 *,364,400 Kuroko no Basket Vol.24 Good. |
Yay, but this manga deserves more attention and maybe anime, someday....maybe |
| Wow, is it just me or Haikyuu!! started doing well since the adaptation announcement? |
| last volume of 07 GHOST made it on the list! still hard to believe it already finished... *sigh* |

| I find it weird that NT8 only sold this much. It was definitely one of the better volumes. KnB is gonna start getting a boost again now. An epic final match + Anime= $$$ XD Also nice seeing Ansatsu up there. I really wonder how well it's gonna do when an anime is announced O_o? Anyway...time to read HQ. An adaption has been announced and by I.G no less. So I'm expecting KnB quality there ^^ |

Barion-Zara said: Index NT is consistent in its sales. Looking at the 2 previous volumes, NT6 sold 153,836 for 4 weeks and NT7 sold 159,194 for 4 weeks as well. I find it weird that NT8 only sold this much. It was definitely one of the better volumes. And if you look every week at the other titles that are selling, reaching 100k+ is an impressive thing already so you can't say it "only sold this much". It's one of the few titles to ever sell that many copies per volume so consistently. |

Barion-Zara said: I find it weird that NT8 only sold this much. It was definitely one of the better volumes. In addition to what belatkuro said, books just don't work like that. Unlike anime where for the most part people have already watched what they are buying, and thus a particularly good part of the series can (although rarely does) lead to a notable sales increase, most people buy a book before reading it, and as such have no way of knowing in advance whether the volume is a good one or not. Critical acclaim of individual volumes has pretty much no impact on people who have already started reading a series with a continuous storyline, as well. If anything, the sales of volume 8 will be dependent on the quality of volume 7, not volume 8. And volume 9 on volume 8 etc. After all, a high quality volume will lead to people wanting more, whereas a low quality volume will dampen their desire for the next one, however good said following volume may happen to be. |

Seems the sports manga that are popular with fujoshi are doing as well as ever. Anime when? |

Is this the first OVERLAP Bunko title to rank weekly aside from Infinite Stratos ? Edit: Oh god, I really am ashamed of myself. How do the did I tought this ? So, no one has ranked yet it seems ? |

JoksPacifist said: Actually this LN is not published by Overlap but HJ Bunko (HJ = Hobby Japan). As far as I know, Overlap Bunko, a relatively new publisher, has not yet had any title ranked in the Oricon weekly bunko chart besides Infinite Stratos.Is this the first OVERLAP Bunko title to rank weekly aside from Infinite Stratos ? |

| ^^ I had hoped that Pan Tachibana's new title on Overlap would rank. Came out the same day as the last volume of Dakara Boku Ha, H Ga Dekinai but... no such luck. They were pleased with my twitpic of the two volumes side by side but I guess not that many fans made the leap from one series and publisher to the other which is too bad as the new one seems quite good. I hope it sold well enough for it to continue! |
jmal said: Do wonder how long Shingeki can keep up the all-volume 20-40k weeks now that the series is over. Impressive that it's still going at all. Remember that SnK finished on the weekend before the week listed here. And I would guess that some TV stations probably aired it later than that date? Next week's listings will be the teller as to how much the sales are holding up, particularly for the earlier volumes (later ones may maintain some onward momentum of people buying as they go for a few weeks). |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Shingeki is still selling a lot! |
| Glad to see Juuni Kokki new version of the old book is still popular. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-10-16/japanese-comic-ranking-october-7-13 new list already out, SnK has a significant drop but all his volumes still on the chart I thought it would last a bit longer with some volumes with like 30k sales though, it seems the hype is slowly but visibly going down not really surprising with all the sales it had 'til now but still...it's faster than I thought it would be on the other hand KnB still on top this week man I missed the title topping everything else lol xD |

Aozumi said: I think it's just about right. The boost lasted throughout whole Spring and Summer when anime aired but now that it's no longer the case, sales start to fall and unless there's some announcement or SnK-related event, they won't go up.I thought it would last a bit longer with some volumes with like 30k sales though, it seems the hype is slowly but visibly going down not really surprising with all the sales it had 'til now but still...it's faster than I thought it would be However it's fascinating how volume 11 manages to stay in the list despite having serious stock issues. Next week it might fall out of ranking or sell 50k, no way to predict that. |

I suppose is something like Kuroko no Basuke more or less right? may check the manga if it's being published in France or Italy |
