Mahouka no Rettousei must have a season 2.
I think everything in this world is beautiful. The sky, birds, bugs, frogs, flowers, and even rocks. Because, if God created this world, could there really be anything dirty and ugly in it?

Oh wow Skip Beat is still selling. I wish there is an anime sequel :(. I tried reading the manga several times but couldn't handle the art, it's terrible even by Shoujo manga standards.

You are missing half of your life. :( You'll get used it. But I understand the sentiment, I have dropped Tokyo Crazy Paradise (same mangaka) several times before I managed to finish it. Best decision ever.

The series ranking is a lot more relevant when it comes to seeing a series momentum.

Seeing how World Trigger Vol 14 is 100k behind Bleach vol 71, yet its ahead in the series ranking.
Kingdom doesn't even have a volume in the volumes ranking yet it has 520k that is some really nice backlog.

Going to miss Assassination Classroom, happy it's doing so well.

Haikyuu!!, Food Wars and World Trigger are doing great <3
Not a big fan of the current arc in Food Wars though, I hope it ends soon.

Seriously, what's so special about Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!? Its a harem. I know some of you are gonna say "its the comedy" but its hard to go over the fact its still a harem.

And why is it harem?? The MC is surrounded with girls yeh but they arent in love with him so it aint harem... they are just a party killing monsters, konosuba is all about comedy...

if it's harem then what? are you just judge it as the way it is? WTF man? i find horor is not appealing for me. should i said every horror is bad? that's not how it works. not appealing for you =/= not appealing for everyone.

Woot! KonoSuba dominates the chart! Season 3 please! I want a proper Megumin arc, so don't rush it DEEN!.

It's nice to see Date A Live still selling well. But it doesn't seem IMS or Kadokawa is interested in doing a third season.

And they really love the novels!

@TheHatedDMC People who think it is a plain old harem have COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT! It is not a plain old harem light novel/anime, it is the best parody of harem LNs to come along in a long time. And it has cute character designs, great humor even outside of the parody. The anime has great music, sakuga that is hilarious to add to the humor. So no, it is not "hard to go over the fact that it is a harem", it is very easy if you actually watched or read it.
