| Mahouka potentially infinite, if I understand correctly? Rarely I see such a length LN. Although, judging by such sales, it would be a sin not to continue the story. |
 |
| Hmm. Guess that settles it. RE Zero isn't going to be a Mahouka in terms of sales. |

| Close Overlord, but not close enough. |

I wonder if they'll have all gone by the time the next series starts. Volume 1 of Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku was at the lower end of daily the rankings on the 2nd but this wasn't enough to get on the week rank. It'll likely show up on the POS ranks next week but unless the sales pick up from later episodes it's not likely to get a big boost despite being the only true light novel adaptation of the season. Gi(a)rlish number is not a bunko format series and thus will not appear on the rankings. |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Series rankings from Oricon website: *1. Shousetsu Kimi no Na wa. *2. Overlord *3. Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu *4. Kimi no Na wa. ANOTHER SIDE: EARTHBOUND *5. Papillion Rouge to Arashi no Hoshi *6. Isekai Shokudou *7. Kokuhaku Yokou Renshuu *8. Bungou Stray Dogs *9. Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 10. Sword Art Online 11.

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 18. Sekaiichi Hatsukoi Yokozawa Takafumi no Baai 19. Muzokusei Mahou no Messaiah 20. Kagerou Daze (Source: Oricon website) --- @ichii_1 - I doubt people are more likely to buy both versions of the Kimi no Na wa. release because of them being under 2 publishing labels than both versions of the Overlord release though. And you'd need basically everyone to be doing that for Kimi no Na wa. and basically noone for Overlord in order for the latter to be above the former. |

| Damn son, so many isekai LNs like omg lol |
| The moment you realized that Mahouka sells are more than Shinkai's GOW,anyway kind of letdown for RE:ZERO :( |

Is it really that long? I mean, compared to Index, which has 22 volumes + something like 17 volumes of the new testament it seems kinda puny. :P Also, some volumes of Mahouka were really short, IIRC one was even less than 200 pages long. I'm used to the volume level of the manga, when the average product has 8-11 volumes. However, taking into account the declared arcs, ReZero and can reach up to 30. |

| Nice to see Re:zero still doing well. Hopefully strong sales of Overlord will lead to a season 2 after the recap Movie. |
| Omg!! No one can stop Kimi no na wa! IT'S EXPLODING!!!! can't wait for its bd/dvd's release. |
| I'm glad to see Isekai Shokudou at least making it to the top 10 this week. Such an underrated series. |

Hmm considering length, something like Horizon has some volumes of about 3000 pages... |

Such works just scare me, even though I was a big fan of Dragon Ball Z as a child. |

| Yay, so happy to see Overlord selling well! |
