Jashin Average has another volume? I thought the story was over, I don't think the webnovel would have been enough for 2 volumes, and it ended pretty alright.  |
The KonoSuba surge! Man I'm so happy! Praying this show goes for Season 2!  |
Looks like monogatari gonna keep going forever |
Monogatari still strong. Seems like KonoSuba's anime is helping the light novel sell more.  |
Give us moar Monogatari already, Shaft.  |
10k as the best sales for this week, that's some slow week for you. this actually goes down to 2.5k to reach the 25th place, wow. Thanks to this, I'm getting interesting info for Youjo Senki's sales for example, though. Usually we cannot see the stats for the second week since the cut off is too high. So 8,5k as a whole, heh. Not bad at all considering it's definitely not for everyone. Modified by Zefyris, Feb 10, 2016 4:41 PM  |

Wow, Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! domination lol  |
KonoSuba killing the rankings... Good job Deen, Darkness best girl!!  |
That proves Konosuba are exceeding expectations, the anime probably boosted the sales |
PericlesD said: Probably? Absolutely! 50K KonoSuba novels/week have sold for the past 4 weeks! Coincidence? No...That proves Konosuba are exceeding expectations, the anime probably boosted the sales The author Akatsuki Natsume was complaining in their blog that they should have had a simpler signature created for their pen name. They were practicing it in advance of a book signing. I guess there weren't many book signings before the anime aired. Jokingly considering changing their name to a single letter from the western alphabet. Blog: http://natsumeakatsuki.blog.fc2.com/index.php |
Grimgar is nowhere to be seen, guess the anime is a failure. Haven't watched KonoSuba and I don't plan to, seems extremely generic and full of Deen QUALITY. Good for the fans I guess. |
Konosuba just raking it in these last few weeks...sad that Grimagr isn't getting sales but seeing on how the adaptation is I'm not surprised. Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
Well, goodbye MT you did better than usual ( Looks like KonoSuba is owning. Definitely didn't expect to see that much of a boost. *4. *7,801 **7,801 Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu Vol.4 Huh this actually does sell decently every time. 21. *4,416 **8,369 Ouroboros Record Vol.2 Ooh really glad to see this(Kitaaa).

A bit strange though, because Grimgar have total 7 volumes, 17,636/7=~2519, but since no single volume show up in ranking(2.7k lowest), so every volume sold 2.5k at the same time? well, who knows. Btw if Grimgat still 15k+ next week i will call it success, because you know, Grimgar LN was very unpopular, volume 1 can't even hit 10k sales before anime start airing, while Konosuba and Bahamut was 50k and 30k seller before anime start airing.

You're completely right. still, even 4400 is fairly low. and 2200 for litterature ranking is low as well. |

Look at how much Isekai out there dominating the chart.  Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
KonoSuba seems to be killing it arm Pretty deserved too  A cuddle a day keeps the pouting away~ "Holding hands is just the first step to getting pregnant"  |
Series rankings: *9位 *7,966部 Overlord >vol 10 never.  |
Monogatari still dominating the charts i see... |
Doubt it, the site that had that date was just using it as a placeholder or something. There is no official confirmation by anyone and there are no ads or a cover. |
ichii_1 said: Doubt it, the site that had that date was just using it as a placeholder or something.

After all, ENTERBRAIN typically releases at the end of the month, not the start, with their next batch of releases scheduled for 29th and already lined up. It's not unheard of for a label to release stuff outside the regular monthly batches and ENTERBRAIN has done so on a few occasions in the past, but it's certainly not the norm, and it's something I would be suspicious of.

Offical sources i can is several statements from the overlord wiki community including the lead supervisor who are fluent in japanese and was told they heard from offical sources....ok so maybe the 2nd march date thing might not be 100% concrte...however the reason as to delay..that is true..it was stated in his twitter sccount he had to postpone the release dat due to the bonus content on the blu rays that he himself is writing...however i can tell you for sure is that once the last blu ray volume is released vol 10 will follow after..so no more than a month after vol 6 is released tops. |
Looks like the KonoSuba anime got peoples attention. Pleasant surprise this season and I hope this carries over to the West.  |
@-ShadowClaw- Do you mean this one? Twitter There's nothing there concerning vol 10 except for the old tweet from a month ago where it says how she/he has no idea when it'll be out(With a very deep deep and meaningful explanation ofc). Ah and also that the WN version is done for. Well anyway it's all gossip at this point,although I heard that in the interview with Katsukura it was said the entire new volume could be split into 2 parts or was splittable or smth hence the delay. Meh it'll probably be out in march/april anyway. |
