dat rekt this week from overlord.  |
Oh. 15th volume of Arslan. If I remember right, 16th will be the last. I wonder how long will it take.  |
1st place sold 5 times more than 2nd place GG Overlord too stronk  |
Holy damn Overlord sales. Honestly if LN translations were more frequent I'd probably buy it, but I'm already invested into reading DanMachi, and holy crap do I hate the time between volumes released in America.  |
Well damn. That 5.5x~ lead...  Hisoka said: True love is finding someone whose demons play well with yours. Illumi said: . |
IDK why anyone is surprised with Overlords sales specially when the anime boosted it so much. While most of the LNs here either dont have an adaption or have had adaptions a while back. |

Sasuga Overlord! Brings a tear to my eyes :'( A new season and we will pass 200K. THICK  |
Overlord supassed 100,000 copies in sales. I'm so happy because Overlord is an amazing series and it's good to see quality work get the credit it deserves. Because Overlord deserves these kinds of sales. It's just amazing. |

As expected of Overlord were rumors about 150k but 110k is pretty damn good too anyway seeing the list *2. *20,554 *24,672 Isekai Cheat Majutsushi Vol.5 iam kinda expecting this an anime adaptation soon with such sales since it seems to be popular already now and with anime it will surely sell even more since its a fantasy genre with main topic send to another magical world which seems to be really popular now in jpn :)  |
Seeing the sales, Overlord AND Danmachi need a second season "At some point, I stopped hoping." |
HAHA i knew overlord would sell that good...it is a very good series.. i really recommend reading it as it gets even better where the anime left off. :) |
Holy damn these Overlord sales. I'm currently catching up and I can say absolutely deserved! Sales for Re:Zero seemed to have increased again. I think this will be the last boost for the first 3 volumes before we jump to the third arc and 4-8 get higher. |
KOTAE WA DOKO EEEEEEE IEEEE IEEEEE SAGASHITEEEEEEEE IEEEE IEEEEEEEE But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
I swear Overlord has some of the best LN covers, so artistic looking. I'm just happy to see Re:Zero sell more. Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |

KonoSuba still hangin in there. I was sad not to see Kasukabe Takeru's new series "Overcomer!! Baka to Cheat wa Kamihitoe" (Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko) ranked as v1 came out on the 31st, by the author of NouCome. I know it came out as I got my copy. I love his style of writing dialogue, good stuff but I hope it ranks some time when the top 20 isn't full of old volumes of Re:Zero, Overlord, KonoSuba... |
It's a slow burner which can be seen in terms of popularity, BD/DVD sales and even in LN sales. It started out low but now keeps on rising and rising in almost every aspect ( BD sales are more or less exploding atm ) KonoSuba kinda came in like a wrecking ball ( no Miley pun intended ) while Re:Zero on the other side will probably be up there for a longer period of time ( 3 months < 6 1/2 months ). I mean a comedy/parody is way easier to get into and it doesn't take long to hook you and make you buy more content; a psychological thriller with a huge and complex story like Re:Zero on the other side takes longer to address and convince more and more people. So as long as it keeps up a consistent level, the longer period of active advertising through the anime will eventually cut even or even surpass the short but powerful boost KonoSuba got. |
Overlord taking the top spot is good to see. Guess I'll go pick up a copy of Yen Press's translation. Meanwhile, all of the other (with the exception of DanMachi) LNs in the top ten are all horribly generic and not worth looking at. <img src="http://manga.tokyo/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/318963e6e6d19177d77a3e23e528527e.jpg" border="0" /> |

Unfortunately, they just passed the DanMachi anime with the latest volume and Overlord just started being adapted so we'll see how fast it comes out before I make my decision to buy or not.Ahoy_NATO said: Holy damn Overlord sales.

The fantasy world genre really is blowing up these last few years. Glad to see Re:Zero still having some strong sales, really surprised on how well vol.1 is still selling. Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
Mein Gott, that Overlord lead. MADHOUSE S2 GET ON THAT SHIT! All hail Ainz Ooal Gown!!  |
Mad House, makes quality anime but does not make second season even if the Original Series is Doing well, like an Anime Studio for manga or light novel advertisement. Anyway there's so many Light Novels like "Alice in the Wonderland" or the "World of Oz" where the characters goes to Fantasy World that are topping the Sales. And I'm still waiting for "Kumo Desu Ga Nani Ka" to get a Light novel Adaptation.  |

Damn, Karin wo idaita shoujo's last volume didn't even made it, once again. Cut off was high (5,323) but that's still sad. Nanasawa Matari's works are soooo underrated. Next week should have KyouHora's volume 23 around the 5th place I suppose?~ And the next one will have Sword Oratoria's volume 6. Modified by Zefyris, Jun 14, 2016 6:57 AM  |
There seems to be a battle between KyouHora and Netoge for what should be 4th and 5th place (behind Accel World, HaMaou and Overlord). Netoge is ahead in POS, and on Tsutaya and Bunkyodo, whereas KyouHora is ahead on Amazon. Seishun Buta Yarou is too weak nowadays to beat KyouHora and nothing else is likely to pose a threat at all.
