Grimgar and Smartphone are doing pretty well (kind of expected Re:Zero and Date A Live to be in the top 3). And Grancrest Senki's in the top 15 too (same with the recent volume of Gakusen Toshi Asterisk).

Maybe Slash Dog get a animation.

I HEAR this the last volume of DXD. Hopefully the sales were good enough to greenlight a season 5 of the animation.

Lets support the anime and light novels.

Where do i buy the light novels and which anime versions do i buy?

DAL has been outselling DxD in weekly sales for years. In fact, DAL is the publisher's best-selling LN, beating even DxD and Saekano.

The sales for Re:Zero and other MF Bunko J titles are only from 2 days.

For the people talking about DAL being over Re:Zero.
DAL volume got released on the March 20
while Re:Zero volumes got released on March 24

so DAL had 4 day start ahead of Re:Zero. while i love both series. Re:Zero's popularity is bigger than DAL at the moment so it being under DAL would be suprising if it didn't have less time to sell.

Even though I dislike the harem genre, I think all the female characters in Isekai Smartphone are all quite shallow and uninteresting if compared to female characters in other harem shows like Seirei Tsukai, Saijaku Muhai, Campione, High School DxD etc.....

Smartphone's MC and female cast are all quite bland compared to those 4 other harem shows I listed as examples above.....

I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.
