Last volume sold 225k in the same number of days.

Nice to see Magi and Sinbad doing well(just started reading it). A bit sad to see Akame ga kill sales, even though they are very stable, when the anime just got announced. Hopefully the anime will be awesome!
Does anyone have a clue as to when the next volume of Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei will come out?

No wonder Kuroshitsuji is getting another adaptation. Also can't wait till Tokyo Ghoul starts airing it looks like it's going to be really good.

Last volume came out 4th December, and ranked on 23-29th December week. That's quite recently so I wouldn't expect another volume just yet. The volumes of that series seem to come out roughly every 4 months.

Nice week, especially considering how much Reinousha Minato is good :>
Oh, and seeing it managing to get into the ranking is always nice as well.

Also, I think there was a domain registered for this manga recently:
Seeing Sinbad manga up there also makes me quite happy. I wonder how the Akame ga Kill's sales will be influenced once the anime starts airing soon.

Yeah, I heard about that as well! I definitely do hope my dreams come true and it gets an anime; that would be great.

Cool to see Gekkan up there, relatively unknown but by the mangaka of Oresama Teacher, I gave it a chance and it had some great laughs.

Do you know just how rare a 6 digit week is for light novels?
Biblia is by far the bestselling light novel series that is actively releasing volumes (although this isn't as clear cut now as it used to be).
Here's a list of every single 100k+ first week sales of light novels in the last year, along with the number of days that week covered:
170k Biblia 5 - 3 days (20-26/1)
172k SAO progressive 2 - 6 days (9-15/12)
111k index new testament 8 - 6 days (9-15/9)
115k kagerou days 4 - 5 days (26/8-1/9)
110k kuroko no basket replace 4 - 5 days (29/7-4/8)
156k juuni kokushi hiisho no tori - 5 days (24-30/6)
125k oreimo 12 - 3 days (3-9/6)
147k kagerou days 3 - 6 days (27/5-2/6)
118k koyomimonogatari - 7 days (20-26/5)
187k SAO vol 12 - 5 days (8-14/4)
225k Biblia 4 - 3 days (18-24/2)
Biblia vol 4 and SAO volume 13 are the only volumes to have sold 100k in their second week in that time (SAO 13 narrowly missed out on 100k+ in its first week). As far as I am aware no light novel has ever sold 100k+ copies in a week after its second (although Moshidora may have done - I can't find any sources of data from the time which include it).

And I feel that Otoyomegatari should switch sales numbers with Sakamoto. I like the latter but the former deserves more IMO, due to the quality. Otoyomegatari is like a love letter to excellence, both in art and story.
Waiting for dat Vinland Saga anime announcement ever since September, Kodansha...

I am not sure if VS would work as an anime, same for Vagabond and a lot of other titles.
I am happy both Otoyomegatari and Sakamoto do well, though.

Vinland Saga could work, IMO. Vinland Saga to me is divided into parts:
- The Prologue is from the beginning to when shit went down, with Canute rising to the throne and Thorfinn slaved.
- The Middle Act is from the moment when Thorfinn's life with Einar on the farm began to when he returned to get sucker punched by Ylva
- Finale: I'm guessing that Thorfinn leads his people to Vinland.
Could work. And Vagabond, just pitch it to NHK, since it's historical and all and thus might be tagged as 'educational', just like Kingdom. Just cut out all the sex scenes.

If you're really trying to pitch an adaptation of VS, isn't a movie (trilogy that starts with one exploratory) a better idea? Saint Young Men totaled about 191 million yen in box office receipts alone, and while the VS manga is maybe a quarter as popular as that was pre-movie, you can make a budget anime movie on 50 million yen. TV might tell the story better, but I think a movie could be an easier budget bomb to swallow (especially if it could boost manga sales like anime often do).

I think the problem with a Vinland Saga anime is that there's no easy place for a 1 cour series to end at. The first part of the series lasts until chapter 54, which would be very difficult to reach even for a 2 cour series. You can probably end the anime just after the Thorfinn - Thorkell fight but even that is all the way till chapter 42. And it would suck for an VS anime to end any earlier. That plus the fact that the series doesn't seem to be the type Otakus will go mad about means that a VS anime would be a huge, extremely risky investment for the production committee guys.
Someone in Hollywood should do a Vinland Saga movie trilogy instead, that would probably work perfectly and has a high chance of making money.

I think it might work with VS airing in NHK, like Kingdom and the Vagabond example I hypothesized. But the problem here is that Vagabond has historical elements as it's main themes, aka Musashi Miyamoto, while VS just uses it as a setting to tell Thorfinn's story. Then again, Kingdom.
And since you brought up the movie thing.... James Cameron, I am counting on you, after you finish Battle Angel Alita.

really hope the anime of Tokyo Ghoul increases sales a lot.I also hope the anime gets to a good enough point to show the shear amount of badassery that the main character amounts to.
