| Thread updated through to w/c 7th May. Also stickied this thread. After w/c 23rd April Mahouka had 2 of the 3 top selling light novels of the year so far, but the following week Overlord put an end to that, and said volume duly took the top spot of the year a week later. |

| Thread updated for w/c 3rd/10th/17th/24th December. Quite a lot of late activity in the year's top 10: On w/c 3rd, Oregairu entered the top 10 volumes of the year On w/c 10th, SAO 21 entered the top 10 volumes for the year (at rank 8), but Oregairu overtook No Game No Life 10 to preserve its 10th place On w/c 17th, SAO climbed to 4th for the year On w/c 24th, SAO climbed to 2nd, while OreGairu sandwiched itself in 9th between 2 Mahouka volumes. Meanwhile in that final week, Seishun Buta Yarou became the first and indeed only volume to get a >50k anime rerank boost in 2018. It got there the previous week but didn't rank then. The overall stats for the year are: 16 >100k 19 50-100k 37 30-50k 48 20-30k 138 10-20k For a total of 258 titles with at least 10k reported sales from the weekly rankings For comparison last year was: 16 >100k 23 50-100k 39 30-50k 45 20-30k 131 10-20k (264 total) |
