"I'm a successful light novel author at a boy's high school, but I'm being strangled by a female classmate who's a voice actress and is younger than me" is the rough translation according to ANN....

I guess we are walking towards a future where something like a synopsis becomes absolutely irrelevant. Kinda hard to believe this was written by the author of Kino's Journey, doesn't feel like his style of story.

Wow, Gin no Saji is doing great, can't wait to read it. Same goes to Ao Haru Ride, maybe I'll finally read some interesting shoujo.

Otoyomegatari is BEAUTIFUL, it deserves much more attention, can't wait for more volumes getting published in my country.

Yeah, I believe you should add " (1) - Time to Play " to the title like the cover of the book. Btw, forgot to mention before but this is officially the longest LN title to date.

I'm not familiar with the magazine Tegami Bachi is in, so can anybody know if these sales indicate that the manga is in danger of getting axed? I'm just paranoid since scanlation recently resumed and I don't want it getting axed before the story finally finishes out.

The sales are good, not great (it's not exactly one of the magazines 5 best sellers) but still good and I think no magazine except Jump would consider those sales to be bad enough to axe the series. But I have to say, most series "cool down" after the anime ends if there are no subsequent seasons. A lot of authors prefer to bring the series to a natural end if they see no chance of an anime follow-up ( and consequentially no rise in popularity until the end of the series) and just move on to a new series. But obviously I'm generalizing a lot.

Erm. Didn't it end on vol. 12?
...
The main story ended at the end of volume 12. Then the "Bangaihen" side stories started but it is interesting that this volume is not called Bangaihen volume 1 and the cover doesn't even say Bangaihen though the chapters in Dessert monthly magazine certainly did. Anyway, I am happy for this one.

Sakarea! Love this story, been a long wait for volume 9.

BTOOOM! 13. Thought it was almost over... but no.

Lipogra! is an amazing Nisioisin novel. I am sad that it barely ranked. Come on, this is Nisioisin writing a lipogram with like 15 guest light novel and manga illustrators doing the drawings! It is really cool on so many levels, the story, the art, the lipogram rules. Completely untranslatable unless you wanted to make it into an English lipogram but just about the coolest play on Japanese language while simultaneously writing a neat Nisioisin story and having illustrators including Peach Pit do some of the drawings.

*Yawn* Majority of these mangas are slice of life and/or romance comedies. With top sellers like this, and the uninspired Blu-ray/Dvd sales list, it really isn't a surprise why I barely read manga and watch anime these days. Seriously, Gin no Saji #1, tonari [insert name here] following and a ton of other bore fests, I'd find as much entertainment from this list as all my children or general hospital.
