Many SAO entries.

TLRD still going strong! Hell yea.

More SAO~~

By the way, seems like the anime is actually going to cover the Alheim Online arc at the pace it's going :D

Its SAO all over the place again....

AWW YEAHHH. Sun-ken Rock is climbing the Manga ladder woooh!

I READ FAIRY TAIL...

AND (Don't click if you are not up-to-date with the manga)

At least it's only on Light novel. If it gets to manga, then it's world domination.

LOL, true words spoken, see'ing as Manga sells alot, even Non-Otaku people read em (It's like, 10k manga sales kinda equals 1k anime sales, general idea though, there are exceptions), if SAO were to get a good manga adaption then we'd better prepare to kneel before it.

On a side note, i've never heard of or even expected half the mangas on there to sell, the world is bigger than i thought.

dislike because Sword Art Online (SAO) is too mainstream

Just because something sells doesn't mean it's "mainstream", although i have to agree with SAO being one in this case lol.
Btw, is just me or is that a meme reference? just wondering.

SAO fanz!!

Btw jmal, did To-LOVE-ru get a boost in sales this week?
Or will get it one when the anime airs?

If this is how the LN is selling, I'll hate to see the BD sales.

It feels like forever since I've seen Shinrei Tantei Yakumo up there...

Happy about OSTKO, and SAO though. :3

31, *21,381 *,*21,381 Ro-Kyu-Bu! Vol.4

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Definitely no one will ever top the sales of One Piece manga, 3 million copies per volume

Still waiting for an Ao Haru Ride license!!

Bought Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji and Ore Monogatari!! Plan on buying Super Lovers and 5-ji kara 9-ji made.

Yay Ao Haru Ride! :D And Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji!

Ao Haru Ride first. Wonderful.

What is Kuroko no basket doing in the light novel part?
or maybe it has A novel?

It's already higher than Horizon in pre-order charts

Surely it's only a matter of time until Ao Haru Ride gets an anime adaption...

Cool "Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - 'Kono Watashi no Mono Tonare, Yuusha yo' 'Kotowaru!'" on the list for 3 weeks running. I'm hoping Arms is seriously taking this versions popularity into consideration whilst making their adaptation.

That's because Kuroko no Basket has a light novel. It's called

Kuroko no Basuke ~ Replace I, II and III

The 3rd voulme or Replace III just came out. XD

I wouldn't say it's exactly popular as sales counts for Manga are very different in comparison to Anime.

But since Maou Yuusha is getting an anime anyways, it'd be a boost to the sales.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! OH YEAH! SO MANY OF MY FAVES SELLLING GOOD UP THERE!

AO Haru Ride, Ookami Shoujo, Shinrei tantei yakumo and Joou no Hana! I am just SO HAPPY for Joou no Hana! I know its impossible but I hope that manga gets an anime adaptation!

12, *43,059 *,141,940 Toaru Majutsu no Index Vol. 10

YUSH!

Good to see Ao Haru Ride. Kokoro Botan as well.
Shitsuji sama no Okinrii is underrated in the English fandom.
I know the sales for Date A Live is good, but 60k by 5th volume is more than I expected.

heyyy! shitsuji-sama is one of my faves too! I just forgot to mention it this time....:(

43, *15,504 *,*15,504 Sun-ken Rock Vol.16


Go sun-ken rock!! this has the most beautiful art and a lot different to a lot of the other japanese manga. like the love child of a korean and japanese who then gave it to an american comic artist as its foster father.

well.. nothing interesting for me..
everything goes as expected

*4, *67,092 2,811,603 One Piece Vol. 67

Almost 3,000,000.

*1, 41,076 *57,102 Shinrei Tantei Yakumo Vol. 8
Actually?? :D

Lol yeah, OP beats second place by like 2 million copies. Oda's probably like freakin' rich (at least for a mangaka?)

*4, *67,092 2,811,603 One Piece Vol. 67

Keep it going, shoujo manga! :D

Anyone knows whats the deal with this series? massive sales and little or no information on it on MAL

( ´∀｀)つhttp://biblia.jp/

Yes!! So happy to see Blade Dance getting sales!!
Hoping for an anime~

Fairy Tail is going good there, glad to see it.

AO HARU RIDE #1!!

I hope this raises the possibility of there being an anime.... Onegai!!!

OP still under three million? Guess the hype went down since the war of the best... but being honest I'd say that One Piece Movie Z will push it again.


Regarding the novels -- I heard you like SAO? <3

Awesome.

*1, 143,429 *,302,539 Ao Haru Ride Vol. 5

Doing so good. Things are going great. I like this manga too. So much.

I actually want a number of how much money Oda made from One Piece...

It'd also be great if it was seperated into money from: Ads, manga, anime, products, etc, etc but... not gonna happen eh?XD

lol every volume of SAO got into the rankings oh well grats to yakumo

*4, *67,092 2,811,603 One Piece Vol. 67
*7, *52,240 *,421,554 Fairy Tail Vol. 34

<3

Wow! Ao Haru Ride takes 1st place! This deserves an anime adaptation :p

That's the 8th week (9th for volume 1) in a row that all volumes are in top 30...

Total sales (Aug 20-26) / Weekly sales
2,575,356 (112,924)

Total sales (Aug 27-Sep 2) / Weekly sales
2,693,776 (118,420)

Hm... will there be a boost in sales for the Sep 3-9 week, after the airing of Episode 10, to coincide with the sudden rise to the top of all the BD volumes on Amazon JP?

I also read somewhere that there are ~5.85 million units of the LN in circulation now. Is there a possibility that there have been some sales that were not reported to Oricon like what happens for some of the anime with their BD/DVD sales only accounting for ~1/3 of their actual sales? This discrepancy can also account for LN units that have not been sold yet, right?
