| Overlordomination Is it common for a light novel to have late legs like that? I thought an anime boost is usually at its peak when the anime begins and only falls from there but this seems to be doing the opposite. Also, I would like to know how this boost compares to Danmachi's if anybody knows (thanks in advance). |
| Overlord is truly everywhere lol |
  |
| Overlord vol 1 crossed 100k. Now that's a successful anime boost. Haganai selling well, didnt expect it after all the outrage from fans. |
| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |
| Overloaded as it should be. Just don't forget to pay your daily respects |
| Overlord is everywhere. Is this LN - 12. *9,637 *11,473 Next Life Vol.8 - good? |
Xenocrisi said: It has a grand total of 3 people currently reading it on MAL... so you're probably asking in the wrong place :sOverlord is everywhere. Is this LN - 12. *9,637 *11,473 Next Life Vol.8 - good? Fully untranslated LNs in general are not MAL's area of expertise |

Xenocrisi said: summary of vol 1 which would give u a hint of the novelOverlord is everywhere. Is this LN - 12. *9,637 *11,473 Next Life Vol.8 - good? |
| Another week and another OVERLORD domination XD As expected from a supreme novel. Might even be the years best seller if it keeps it up :) moodie said: Arcanix said: light novels are selling well no need to promote them anymore lol what... GG madhouse That's nice and all but you better not be basing this on ngnl and mahouka XD barmar said: Overloaded as it should be. Just don't forget to pay your daily respects The world’s most beautiful being. Even precious gems can not be compared to his pale white body. All Hail The Supreme Being, The Overlord of Death, The True Hero among Heroes, AINZ OOAL GOWN-SAMA! |

Snow said: H *3. 21,660 *21,660 Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo Vol.10 "Umi kara Nanika ga Yattekuru" That doesn't sound half bad. Unfortunately it won't get an adaptation because the setting isn't a magical highschool/inside a video game. |
 |
| Lol, Overlord really gotten quite the attention now since its airing... I'm glad to see Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai in the top 10 though. |
 |
| http://myanimelist.net/manga/83225/ XD Man there has been alot of the "strong demon guy skeleton that gets send to another world where he builds his forces and takes over the world" settings lately (the past 2 years to be exact) I wonder why? "wink wink" ;) ;) |

| 22. *6,071 **9,323 Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? Vol.20 The only one I care on the list. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |

Ooops. It's even fairly new. Must've either gone completely under the radar or it's not that good a show. Will check out. |

| my god overlord is climbing ladder like a beast...all hail to AINZ sama |
| I'm surprised Haganai surpassed 50k sales with that garbage ending |
 |
Shingen_no_Yami said: I'm surprised Haganai surpassed 50k sales with that garbage ending Index surpasses 100k and the author isn't bothering anymore to make the volumes decent, so why so surprised. Also, did you see Infinite Stratos' sales? That's far far worse than Index yet still sell like 60k :/ |
 |
| I don't see any Rokka no Yuusha on there...not a good sign. Shingen_no_Yami said: I'm surprised Haganai surpassed 50k sales with that garbage ending Just read the link somebody posted with the ending summary. It was so fucking bad I think I almost cried. Holy fuck. Idk how the author took the perfect setup (from wherever the LNs were at where season 2 of the anime ended) and just fucking shhiiiiiiitttt alllllllllll ovvverrrrr ittttt. That ending is so bad, it would be like if Index ever ended, at it was all just a dream with Touma in a coma with all of the doctors and nurses shitting on his chest everyday; covering him in a mountain of shit until the bacteria kills him slowly. |
Zefyris said: At least the ending of volume 13 offer more interesting villain or Touma real counterpart.Shingen_no_Yami said: I'm surprised Haganai surpassed 50k sales with that garbage ending Index surpasses 100k and the author isn't bothering anymore to make the volumes decent, so why so surprised.

Don't even fucking get me started on that. First season good. First season OVA good. Second season good. Second season OVAs good except for the last goddamn one. Literally just watch the 1st of the 2 OVAs and stop, and the show is great. Or skip them altogether. |

| What's going on with Mahouka and SAO, usually both would have passed 200k and 300k respectively by now right? |
chrisbj said: No airing anime for a year or so.What's going on with Mahouka and SAO, usually both would have passed 200k and 300k respectively by now right? |
chrisbj said: What's going on with Mahouka and SAO, usually both would have passed 200k and 300k respectively by now right? SAO 15 took 7 weeks to hit 300k Mahouka 16 took 4 weeks to hit 200k in both cases these are the fastest times of any volume to reach this figure. This is the 5th week for these volumes but they came out on Saturday, which was before the "official" release date of Monday, so it's effectively the 4th week. Incidentally someone mentioned a few weeks back about a retailer stopping reporting their figures to Oricon. Does anyone have a source on this as a somewhat unnatural number of series seem to have seen larger than usual sales drops over the last few months? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| BTW does those figures include the digital sales like amazon selling their kindle version of a lot of stuff? Do we even know what kind of ratio there is in sales between digital and physical? Japaneses usually don't have a lot of place to store their book, so wouldn't they be quite interested in the digital version? |
|
| How much commission that the author gets from each book sold ? |
razuisana said: probably like 10%How much commission that the author gets from each book sold ? |

Icehism said: Oricon doesn't count digital. ever. Based on sales from other mediums, Japan doesn't buy a lot of digital stuff. They're the kind of people who like to collect things. . Thanks for the answer. BEsides hardcore otaku, I reaaaly doubt they are more akin to collect than western countries. One reason the DVD/BD are still stuck in the rental pricing after so long is because peoples don't buy, they rent in japan. Even if they lower the price, they still don't buy and keep renting. I can confirm the size of rental shops in japan is something else, and there's enough around for an easy access, we don't have that in France. A population who has a huge habit of renting can hardly go well with a habbit of collecting a lot of stuff. They may not like digital, but I don't think that has to go with collecting really, except for a minimal part of the population. |

Mecasonic said: According to this article on CNET Japan, when you look at the actual numbers digital books are performing in Japan as well as they do in America, representing roughly 10% of the entire book market in 2013. The amount of titles available from regular publishers are also comparable (taking into account the difference in population size), though self-publishing is far much more bigger in the West. Icehism said: But as far as i know, Mahouka and SAO don't have digital versions as Dengeki never gave them one. They actually announced a few days ago that they will release digital versions of all Mahouka, AW and SAO (including Progressive and Alternative) volumes over the next few months: http://mobile.dengeki.com/dbclub/ I see, thanks. So only 10% in average then. But since not every book has a digital version, it also means that for boks having a digital version, it may be quite a bit above 10%. Depends if most best sellers have a digital version or not, I suppose. |
