Is the Moshidora novel really even that good to warrant that much sales? I also heard the anime adaptation was pretty crap so I'm assuming that the novel has some groundbreaking themes and elements and shit.

Try reading it for a change, it's really funny and lighthearted novel <3

Nice to see the Moshidora novel at 1#.Also very glad to see the Gintama novel on there too.Usually novels based on manga never do so well.
