| Them Eromanga-sensei sales. Pretty big boost from the anime. |
 |
| Have there ever been 5 Berry's Bunko titles in the rankings before? |

| Goblin Slayer anime pls |
Huh? TIL. This isn't a simple mistake with the spin off LN is it? I wasn't aware of an upcoming 19th volume at all.. |
| >_< |

| Nice! I wish Hataraku Maou had a second season that covered more of the light novel stuff |
 |
| On behalf of the List, Like woah. Kamachi surpassed the top rankings in the list while publishing his new book Aleister's sure maybe the antagonist of the new volume |

| Konosuba is several times as popular as Index at the moment? It's strange, considering that Index's characters are always in the first place by polls. |

It's strange, considering that Index's characters are always in the first place by polls. *insert obligatory "this KonoSuba volume has been out for rather longer than that Index volume" comment here* But yes, Index has been dropping for a long time, whereas KonoSuba is going strong. This volume of KonoSuba has exceeded the sales whilst on the weekly rankings of the last 2 Index volumes, and is just a thousand or so below the one before that. Meanwhile Index looks like it's dropped again. |

It was once, but it's been dropping faster than most series of similar popularity for years now. |

On the one hand, it's sad, but on the other, this is another example that the author should be able to finish the series on time, I think. |

| Glad to see Devil is a Part Timer in there. Would be more glad to see a second season be made of it. |
 |
| @Lolimancer Oh, thanks for the information. It's more complicated than I thought originally. It's strange that Dengeki is usually pulled with new seasons, although the adaptations of other publishers are usually much quicker get sequel, such as "Date or Live" or Masou Gakuen. WashingMachine45 said: Konosuba is selling well. Just Re:zero and SAO could beat it this year, probably. Consider this is a comedy LN, thats not bad at all I was pleasantly surprised too, I wonder how many volumes he will withstand in the end. If Mao-sama already received 17 volumes. |

WashingMachine45 said: Konosuba is selling well. Just Re:zero and SAO could beat it this year, probably. Consider this is a comedy LN, thats not bad at all Depends what measure you're using. If you're talking series sales, that is heavily dependent on the number of volumes that come out in the year. This is the first KonoSuba volume this year, although basically all its competition has either 1 or 0. Can't see Re:Zero beating KonoSuba unless it has more volumes out. If you're talking volume sales, it won't beat Mahouka, and probably not Musubimonogatari either. Plus there's this year's sales of Kimi no Na wa. that it won't beat either. Plus various other big sellers (No Game No Life, Overlord, DanMachi, SAO: Progressive) haven't had a volume out yet this year. On the other hand, Re:Zero won't beat it here either. On the other hand, I think you are underestimating how well comedies do. There are a lot of comedies in the top selling series, and there are several that have higher peak reported sales than KonoSuba does. |

Index III never.RobertBobert said: It seems very strange to me, because it always seemed to me that Index is one of the most popular LN in general. Or are the readers just tired of it? Allow me to explain how Dengeki killed Index's sales. Back in 2014 they hyped up the 10th anniversary event of Index, and kept hinting a big announcement. This was a year after Railgun S aired, so go figure what the fans expected. Index 3, obviously. They even got Mami Kawada and the voice actors there for the event and made a big countdown, and even released a PV with characters who had not been animated yet. And then they bait and switched and announced Heavy Object instead. The sales have been free falling since then with Japanese fans on places like 2ch saying they won't buy the LNs again until Dengeki fixes their mistake, apologizes and announces Index 3. It doesn't help that Index also went into an arc that can essentially be considered downtime and just set up this new arc that's starting for almost 3 years. Who really knows if they'll actually do it, or if it will even help by now. |

| *3. 16,248 *16,248 Zettai naru Isolator Vol.4 oh damn, Isolator new volume is out! What a great news |
Wow... I didn't expect that this kind of light novel is actually pretty popular.. Lol XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |

| Eromanga Sensei with that anime boost~ Still glad to see Hataraku Maou-sama! doing well. |
 |
| Eromanga hype getting bigger, nice goblin slayer sales too :) |
 |
| *1. 35,842 *35,842 Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Vol.18 Just barely lower than the previous volume 1st week sale. It'll be lucky if it reaches the same number vol17 reached before falling off. Either way, RIP in peace. Kamisato was still a mistake. |

ruggia said: Didn't Re:Zero have its print volumes come out quickly because they were taken from its web release, not because the author writes fast? Both. In fact for the content that has been released in the light novel version so far, the web novel actually came out faster. That said, this is largely due to the every 6 month release schedule around 2015/early 2016 (which in turn enabled the rapid releases at the end of last year), and the web novel slowed pretty much to a halt during the same time. The light novels won't catch up with the web novel any time soon for this one. |

Until the final showdown came up or arc like NT9 begins it'll keep dropping and last 2 volume is kinda flat, the Kamisato arc felt like hit and miss. I felt like there will be Spin off about Kamiasato Kakeru in the future... I am not sure why people still asking Index 3 yet while its actually been hinted by the author himself few month ago. Well ofc you cant really compare why the sales on the first week is really high compared other tittle or previous volumes. Judging from other perspective, Index is like 13 years old light novel if both series (old and NT) counted, There havent been any anime boost for years. At this point i am not sure what i am expecting in To aru series, Heavy object seems nice though (but that Object thing is seriously laughable lmao) |
