I see lots of big names up there. This is like the bestsellers competing among each other to see who's the biggest, and we can see who won

Woah. Moshidora's first? Considering the anime wasn't all too great I don't have high expectations for the light novel. But with such high sales..This makes me curious.

It will once its anime comes out. Anime always gives it far more exposure so it would never be able to compete with all of these novels which already have an anime.
