None. AFAIK Oricon chart does not count foreign sales at all (not even foreigner buying on Japanese websites with a foreign address)

Oh how disappointed I am in the most esteemed Japanese race... Thank you for this information.

the manga adaptation is in top 50 manga sales per volume. IT IS THAT BIG.

I have notice the interest in manga sales has dropped for a year or more, I remember a few years back there would be plenty of discussions on the thread and I'm going on other popular websites and I'm little discussion on those as well, so its not mal but just overall lost in interest.

It's long been a member of the increasingly small club of series that consistently get 30k+ sales per volume before dropping out the weekly rankings without any anime or live action adaptation. However since February last year it has somehow developed a spectacularly strong long tail, and it has only dropped off the weekly series rankings once since then (on w/c 23rd December 2020)
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

In other word, since the end of that one year hiatus and the vol 8 being published. I wonder what happened between those two volumes for it to gain such irregularly long trail.

Simplest reason why I don't bother going in this place, just look at the comments, it's freaking 800, with at least 60,000 views. But to be fair, this place isn't bias unlike that site.

glittered turd is still turd. do good anime help? yes, but not a solely factor. 5 toubun is successful while fire force is a flop should show how much good animation can only help, but that's it. even ufotable can't save tales of zestria and god eater.

same with slime, the manga adaptation exploded. first mentioned in kono manga sugoi award (not win but highly ranked), then win Tsugi ni Kuru manga few month after it. it's strong upward stream after it.

No, no I wont take that KnY bait. Gonna commenting the other instead,

Top LN sales list is just like the other years, nothing new. Ok there's a new one, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, never heard it before.

oh wait SAO still continue? lmao Glad to see Overlord V14 there cuz yeah that's definitely hyped.

Oregairu last volume, as expected. Also it's good that last volume of KonoSuba is on top 10 tho.

Slime is still strong with its both manga and LN sales, if KnY not included, pretty sure Slime manga is gonna be on top 10, just like the other years.

Also damn, really need to catching up YouJitsu, already V12 huh.

Mahouka is also in the last stage of story, so yeah it's all good.

Yeah I'm liking the LN list. Oregairu and Overlord ending probably boosted the sales.

Btw, just like you didn't ask when the big 3 will end when going strong, just like that you don't ask when SAO and Toaru will end. Lol. They are pretty much the driving forces behind the industry. I'm genuinely surprised that Toaru isn't in these lists for past 3 years.

Oregairu and *KonoSuba.
Overlord will end in V17 iirc.

lol yea, been reading it till first volume of alicization, but it seems not my things so I don't really care about it.

Pretty sure Toaru NT already ended last year(?) We waiting for part 3 that coming this year.

Oh volume 17 of overlord didn't release yet? I've basically read only till volume 10 so I didn't know. Btw, I don't read toaru, I'm only an anime-only. Reading it is a pretty daunting task. Lol.

But yeah I do read SAO and I'm updated with it. Probably you'll like this one. It's the highest rated SAO media but I still think it's underrated. Lol

Index hasn't warranted mention in terms of "driving forces behind the industry" in many, many years now. If it ever was.

As an aside, I've always found it bizarre that Index is always the series that keeps getting mentioned in that sort of context - yes, it's a long runner, but there are others that have been around longer. Yes, it was one of the best selling series about 7 or 8 years ago, but it was never more than one of, and it hasn't even been that in a long time now. Plenty of more successful series have ended in that time.

And I very much doubt Kamachi would stop writing if he finished Index, so it wouldn't even mean losing a prominent author...

Because according to Wikipedia, Toaru novels reached 30M sales in 2018 which is very rare for a novel series.

But yeah all the awards the series won was like 7-9 years ago and despite the fact that there is still an active fandom and the goods still sells quite a lot, the novels sells aren't so good anymore.

The novels haven't sold that much. The franchise as a whole has sold that much, including manga adaptations and spinoffs. It's also a worldwide figure.

LN is the same, tho only on kono LN ga sugoi iirc. but the manga adaptation of kusuriya definitely exploded.

Jesus Christ, the jump from Top 2 to Top 1 is insane. How come Kingdom is so popular in Japan yet no one's talking about it outside? Are Japan's and the International's taste polar opposites? Cause even the Top 1 anime (Tiger and Bunny) in Japan is barely talked about in the international community.
