Here are the Top 10 Light Novel rankings collected by the "Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!" (This Light Novel is Amazing!) annual magazine.Sakana-sanApr 6, 2016 12:20 PM

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I'm so happy for Alderamin, Altina and Amaryllis. And to think DanManchi would beat SAO. Never imagined. |
| Toaru did really well, I'm happy. |
| Hello yeah for Wataru Watari and Ponkan8 (whom Wataru calls a god in his atogaki) in OreGairu !!! But I wish Kokoro Connect and Sakurasou were higher. I know they ended which apparently hurts your rankings badly even when they end so well. And odd that Monogatari isn't listed but a couple of their characters made the top 30's. They are not bunko so not light novels technically so they don't qualify or they just didn't rank? But their characters did somehow? I know I shouldn't get caught up in magazine poll rankings but still, oddly inconsistent. |
| Thus Gagaga Bunko ended three years of hegemony at top by Dengeki Bunko.... Time to check the likeliest candidates to get anime adaptation: *1. Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. (Oregairu) *2. Tenkyou no Alderamin - Nejimaki Seirei Senki *3. Toaru Majutsu no Index (Index) *4. Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru no Darou ka *5. Sword Art Online (SAO) *6. Hataraku Maou-sama! (Maou-sama) *7. Tokyo Ravens *8. Rokka no Yuusha *9. Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai (Oreimo) 10. No Game No Life I guess if the two female characters had not split votes, Railgun would not have kept her no.1... Now it is even more difficult to see how Railgun could ever be dislodged from forever #1 (5 years so far) as long as the LN still goes on.... hpulley said: If Senjougahara is in the female character list, I would expect that the novel should also be eligible. Yes indeed I find it puzzling too...That said, I think Kono LN ga Sugoi is more than just a simple magazine poll rankings. Its methodology encompasses readers, industry people, and opinion leaders from outside the industry (like ordinary literary critics). In fact, the book is a survey onto itself and is not derived from any survey conducted by a magazine. And odd that Monogatari isn't listed but a couple of their characters made the top 30's. They are not bunko so not light novels technically so they don't qualify or they just didn't rank? But their characters did somehow? I know I shouldn't get caught up in magazine poll rankings but still, oddly inconsistent. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Misaka continues to dominate the female character rankings for the 5th straight year. She's like the Kira Yamato of the Newtype polls. Index placing 5th despite appearing only(and finally) in NT8 is kind of a surprise. And despite the crowd favorite, no Sena in the top 30 but Yozora in the top 10. This should raise some objections and complaints I guess. TouMAN lost to HachiMAN. Accel and Kirito still there. And Izayoi ranking is a nice surprise. And I'm betting those illustrations of Misaki and Othinus from NT7 and NT8 are what propelled Haimura to the top spot. I was hoping Mahouka's illustrator would rank with 4 volumes out this year as samples and all having great illustrations but I guess not. Congrats nonetheless to Oregairu for topping this year. Dungeon, TR and Alderamin are the big surprises for this year. Will check out the latter sometime. |

| Yes, Toaru dominating! Guessing there will be a 3rd season soon, huh? :) Wow best of 10 years, I am surprised to see Baka to Test and Spice & Wolf on the list, that bring back memories, they're both very good! I am still waiting for the 3rd season of Baka to Test and Spice & Wolf!! Darn shame they'll probably never get one. blame MOE So glad that the LN artist of Black Bullet got ranked, Black Bullet is good so far. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| ^^^ Araragi Koyomi did better than Senjougahara at #26, he got #11, just outside the top ten. Was it because Koyomimonogatari was the only book out before they polled? Owarimonogatari just came out. Because Koyomimonogatari was 12 short stories? It still sold very well and was well written IMO. I dunno... |
| Oregairu, biribiri and hachiman? Best Ranking ever. |

Darn shame they'll probably never get one. blame MOE At least Spice & Wolf has a good written story and character interaction, and Baka to Test was a comedy gold, has good setting and premise, and funnily idiotic characters. What do we get recently? School club activities-related anime adaption. Edit: with stereotype characters that's pretty much one dimensional |

| Congrats to Tsunako. Oh god Yozora on the list, inb4 Yozora>Sena |

Hoppy said: inb4 Yozora>Sena It's true, though. Anyway, time to actually look through the list and see if there's anything that sounds good that I don't already know about. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| this just proves that all these series need another anime. |
| HELL YEAAAH! Oregairu first! kuuderes_shadow said: Hoppy said: inb4 Yozora>Sena |
 |
| It's real nice to see Oregairu and Hachiman at the top, they deserve those spots IMO. Also I'm surprised Izayoi ranked, that's cool as well. |
| Awesome that Full Metal Panc is still up there... maybe there is still hope for a new season? |
| Suzumiya Haruhi 6°?, stupid. |
 |
| Hahaha, Hachiman is storming the ranks. :D Go, go, go, OreGairu! |
| It's nice to see Oregairu and Hachiman at the top. Now if they would just release it in english. |
| Kirito>Accelerator? Best Male list is shit. |
| Misaka won again...easy |
 |
Best of 10 Years *1. To Aru Majutsu no Index Of course! And Touma got 2nd place! Great! I'm proud of Index(character) for getting #5 and hell yeah to Tsuchimikado for his spot, he deserves it after NT 7 |
 |
| Yes, SNAFU at the top! I am very happy to see that and Maou-sama on the list as well. (hoping for another season someday...) The only LN I'm not familiar with is the second one, Tenkyou no Alderamin. Might check it out someday. Misaka dominating the chart along with Hikigaya huh? Nice. |
 |
| may check Black Bullet novel someday~ I got interested by the graphics & story |
- I only draw freestyle! - |
| T°T the tears of joy just won't stop that male list has all the best characters 1-9 (don't know 10) real happy Izayoi is getting the respect her deserves. index deserved atleast 2nd place with what kazuma has been doing this year. |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| AWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHH YESHHHH THAT INDEX UP TOP! |
 |
-Crys said: Hell Yeah for Oregairu. And now give us a second season, we need more Hachiman. Agreed to the max |

| Another season of SAO please. |
 |
| Sinon should have been top 5, she's a kickass! |
| How many years has it been since Misaka Mikoto has been dominating the female charts? Oregairu first. Nice one. Inaba 11th female, not enough to make it into top 10 D: |

MCsq2 said: How many years has it been since Misaka Mikoto has been dominating the female charts? 5 years and well deserved, she's simply the best...no competition |
Suntears said: I dunno.MCsq2 said: How many years has it been since Misaka Mikoto has been dominating the female charts? 5 years and well deserved, she's simply the best...no competition I used to think that, then Misaki Shokuhou came along. Let's hope she plays an even greater role than she does right now. ^_^ |

tsubasalover [b said: Light Novels *1. Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. (Oregairu) I'm so happy that it is being appreciate since it deserve it. Male Characters *1. Hikigaya Hachiman (Oregairu) Hell yes. Best thing about Oregairu hands down and one of the best male leads in a long time. His art is very nice, I hope to see him work in other anime/LN. Best of 10 Years *3. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Yay. It's not being completely forgotten. I hope from the bottom of my heart that their is a third season but I doubt it :/ |
