Glad to see NGNL selling well, and Kimi no Na wa still selling well it seems.

Hurts my souls that Grimgar and Asterisk sold better than MT tho.
Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime?

So Bungou Stray Dogs does drop out before the next series begins. I was wondering if it would.

When will Kimi no Na wa.'s sales stop going up?
It beat No Game No Life in this week... will it beat Kagerou Daze next week?

That would be copies shipped, not copies sold.

Yup, Kimi no na wa selling better each week. Like what the hell. Next week it will outsell Bakemono no ko

SAO last volume sold less in 3 weeks than I've expected to... Still huge sales

Ayy, grimgar also on the list. I hope the translations would be faster, tho

Mushoku Tensei is there too. It's somehow not too popular in Japan, considering that such type of novels usually sell really well
