| Welp Kimi no nawa surpassed 500k, surely it must be breaking some record right? Anyway i'm genuinely curious how the BD will do once it's out |
 |
| Another week, another Kimi no na wa domination. It sold a little bit less than the last week tho, maybe hype is going down bit by bit. (in fact this is the first week after its release, that the sales decreased in weekly basis). It already outsold Mamoru's Summer wars, but this is not the end.. Once again it dominated in three different formats - CD, Novel, Cinema. If I remember correctly, this is probably the first time ever something managed to stay on the top in a three formats together for a three consecutive weeks. I can totally see it selling over 1 million copies and getting into top 5 list of all time, just like I said last week.

| I think its gonna stay on first place for a couple more weeks, haven't seen a light novel sell so much before. |

| Kimi no na wa had stock problems last week too. I'm actually surprised it sold that much. Could do better next week. |
| Another 100K+ for Kimi no na Wa :O Overlord vol 11 will knock it off#1 in a couple of weeks :) Slime selling good too. |
 |
| To be fair, Mahouka's volume came out the 10th, so that's just the 1st days worth of sales. |

Madogiwa no Totto-chan probably beats them both to hold the all-time record. |

There are very few light novel labels that will release on a Sunday (or a Monday for that matter) and Dengeki Bunko is not one of them. |

It's the only volume to have made it into the year end bunko rankings more than 3 times, and if I'm right about the first 4 months it would mean that it narrowly missed out on making it 6 times in a row. |

Anways, just wanted to point out that there are big sellers that aren't represented in the "usual" rankings just because the rankings don't go back far enough but probably would outrank them if data was available. I mean Haruhi has got to have sold like crazy no matter the retailer, right? Amazon wasn't particularly big for long before the Oricon data starts. The fact that the last volume of Haruhi (the one that never got an anime boost and would have inevitably sold less than the earlier ones) is the one that shows up should be an indication of that. The volume of Haruhi in question, incidentally, did sell well - it's 25th on the list that was part-listed above. Kizumonogatari's heavy underrepresentation on the Oricon data isn't so much because of the start of data - indeed, it came out after Oricon started reporting rankings (it sold 16822 in its release week). It's more due to the fact that none of the anime adaptations (nor releases of later volumes) gave it enough of a boost for it to rerank. This may be partly down to extra rankings having become available over the years, but only partly. Perhaps more so in this case as the Literature Books Genre rankings, which the monogatari series - unlike most light novels - tend to have by far the lowest thresholds, making the later volumes be overrepresented relatively. As for different fandoms buying things in different places - you'd be very surprised. For instance, Tsutaya has No Game No Life as 4th bestselling bunko for w/c 5th September, whereas Osakaya has it as 16th for w/c 3rd September - which should give it better sales than w/c 5th September does. This sort of variation is normal, and Amazon is not immune to it - although the massive difference in Amazon's ranking formula compared to everyone else's means that direct comparisons are difficult to make. However, I did try using rankings of new releases on Amazon to predict sales for a while, but found it absolutely hopeless, even though I believe Amazon's sales are included in Oricon. You can see an example here if you compare the order on that list (Amazon's order of new light novel releases in the week in question) to Oricon's rankings the following week. For example, Ryuu no Aisai, Dr. no Akuun was 4th top new light novel on the Amazon list but failed to make the 4749 cutoff, whereas Noushou Sakuretsu Girl was the 42nd highest new light novel release on Amazon for that week, came out on the same day, and yet managed to sell over 7.5k. |
