| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| That Kimi no Na Wa just keeps on going. You would think the movie is going to do fantastic. |
| Kimi no Na wa so good even the previous movies' novels manage to rank. |
 |
| Looks like SAO vol18 sold 30k more then Vol17 in two weeks. Kimi no na wa sales are ridiculous. It sells more and more each week. Both Garden of words and 5cm/s are also on the list, to compare the sales to Kimi no nawa is just not fair, lol |
| Man the boost for SAO is unbelievable, I guess that till year-end the 300K knocked will...xD Even if Tokyo Ravens with 4,5K not so good sells like expected, I wish nevertheless a continuation for the anime...>.<! |
 |
| Another 10K for ol, good stuff. Series rankings *6. Overlord |
 |
| Yeahh boyy SAO #1. Japs still have shit taste. Kimi no Na wa was a surprise. Hopefully the movie is good and not 2deep4u shinkai. |
 |
| Monogatari is almost at 100k, Nice. |
 Isn't this supposed to say Vol.3 since Musubimono is the 4th novel in the Off Season? |
 |
Kin088 said: As I expected, Index sales are getting lower and lower each volume... this volume won't reach the 100k sales at this rate .... I guess people are getting fed up of these recent arcs... Last volume only hit 91k after a month and a half, and the last time a volume to hit 100k whilst still in the weekly rankings was volume 13. So you're a bit late with that. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| this is proof that SAO >> many other LN out there. well done SAO, S3 can't come soon enough. |
| 期待しているよ、私のサリアだって、嘘ばっかり! でもねアンジュ、あんたがいなくなれば、私の方が強いってわかれば, それができるなら、何もいらない! |
AntwanMantilla said: Yes, Nademonogatari is the 3rd volume of Off Season after Orokamonogatari and Wazamonogatari. Musubimonogatari will be the 4th.Isn't this supposed to say Vol.3 since Musubimono is the 4th novel in the Off Season? |

| Trivia: This week, Re:Zero volume 1 overtook the first volumes of both overlord and danmachi to become the biggest anime boost on the weekly sales for a single volume since No Game No Life in Spring 2014. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I'm not surprised by Index's trend, hope the next volume will be more. Definitely more interested in Kimi no Na wa now. |
 |
| Other bunko ranking item that may be of interest: 11位 *15,672部 *79,701部 Eiga Novelisation Aozora Yell Currently working through my spreadsheet. Should have the LNDB thread updated for the first time in far too long by the end of today. edit: this is now done. book-rank doesn't have pos ranks up yet and I'm too lazy/tired/busy (delete as appropriate) to go through the shoseki list right now so I'll post that on here when book-rank has them up. |

| Damn quite a boost for SAO. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| SAO wrecking dem charts, nice. I honestly wanna read it just for the lolz Too bad the animu was just freaking boring :/ |
| How good is the Sword Art Novel compared to the anime, wasn't really a fan of the anime. |
 |
| Nice to see Shinkai series doing so well. |
 |
| > *4. 17,547 *67,671 Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Vol.16 Looks like Index won't be reaching 90K :| |

These are just the EX volumes, basically side stories. The main series sells much more, last volume (14) sold 43,035 as of May 22nd when the half yearly sales were revealed. So it's selling well. Also worth bearing in mind that this is just 2 days of sales. jc9622 said: Also, Dengeki Bunko (the publisher) isn't just about to let go of SAO even if the author wants to stop writing because it is their money printing machine. I think they would let it end if Kawahara wanted it to, actually. It is their bestselling series, yes, but it's not as though they don't have plenty of other mega-hits. And it wouldn't be the first series they ended while it was still getting 6-digit sales. |

Kin088 said: It wasn't that successful but that's the chance they take and the choice they make every time they decide, "Do we make another sequel or make an anime of a new work?" Sometimes it means a new hit, sometimes it means a new bomb. Making a third season of Index may not have revived its novel sales anyway; the disc sales likely would have been better but the publisher may not make much from the disc sales or care about them anyway.Lolimancer said: Actually the nips are very pleased with NT16 and its developments. Most think its the best in the last few years, the problem is that the series is getting old, literally. A new anime is the only way to bring in more sales at this point. yeah its getting old and almost every volume after the Othinus arc were not good so you can't really compare with them...... also their decision to adapt Heavy Object instead of Index S3 blew up in their faces ... that was a bad choice... |

Always worth bearing in mind that we don't have data for Haruhi/Slayers/the first season of the Index anime/Saiunkoku Monogatari and other big sellers from before April 2008. Kagerou Daze left out as the boost was probably more down to the new volume coming out (each volume of the series released up to that point having gained tens of thousands of sales boost for the earlier volumes) than the anime. |
