| Index sales is decreasing rapidly. why don't they just adapt the rest of the old testament. it has been selling so good in merch/disc/manga/novel. they are just losing money by not making more. i know it is used for commercial purposes but when the sales are actually good, 20k avg bd/dvd good. then i don't even know what the producers are thinking anymore. the director already stated in his reddit AMA that he's ready to make it any time. |
| If Konosuba is sold so quickly, I'm afraid even to imagine how to grow sales after the launch of the second season. By the way, today is really almost all most popular light novell is fantasy ? |

| It'll be interesting to see what comes out top next week. There are a few reasonably big series out but they're all out at the end of the week. The two things that beat Kimi no Na Wa. in last week's ranking both came out last week... Coffee-ten Talleyrand no Jikenbo is still able to beat KnNw. on the daily rankings but Index isn't. GA Bunko's top release couldn't beat KnNw/CtTnJ on its day of release so not much chance there. Could Kimi no Na wa. return to the top? There are a couple of things that look very likely to beat it on the bunko ranks but they aren't even close to being light novels. Oh, and in case anyone's interested, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child sold 317,078 copies in the week covered by this thread. Frostbytes said: Iris volume and konosuba sold less than prev week?! Damn you jap. You do know that's normal, right? Something with nothing giving it an active boost will basically never sell more in one full week of sales than it did in a previous full week. RobertBobert said: If Konosuba is sold so quickly, I'm afraid even to imagine how to grow sales after the launch of the second season. By the way, today is really almost all most popular light novell is fantasy ? If you take a broader definition of what constitutes fantasy it pretty much always has been. You get scifi stuff (Accel World and even Mahouka are really more sci-fi than they are fantasy) and mysteries (usually under labels that are borderline to light novel status), and spin-offs of things from other media - and the occasional yaoi hit - but the brief period where series like Haganai and OreImo could become standalone megahits with no fantasy, sci-fi or mystery elements was very much the exception in light novel history, not the norm. Indeed, today's biggest series that would fall under this grouping are Imouto Sae Ireba Ii. and Eromanga-sensei, written by the same authors as Haganai and OreImo respectively. SaeKano isn't far behind them, though. |

| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Kimi no Na wa took 2nd for the 2nd week :( Was hoping it to bounce back to first :| Anyways it'll be a miracle if it can remain 2nd for 10 weeks straight. joe_g7 said: I am glad for not seeing Kimi no Na Wa in first place yet another week. *5. 10,974 *,*10,974 Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin Vol.11 This needs more sales You have something against Kimi no Na wa?

| 「友達なんていない。人はすぐに裏切るし、学校っていうのは誰かを標的にしないとやってられない馬鹿共の集 まり。ままごとみたいな役決めて、仲のいいふりして都合が悪くなったら知らんぷり。そんな奴らと仲良くした いとか全然思わない。」 |
Being beaten by precisely one thing for 10 consecutive weeks? That would be hilarious. Not going to happen, though. MoshiDora held 3rd place for 7 weeks of an 8 week period once. I think that's the only time anything's come remotely close to doing something like that. |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
Welp. Doesn't seem like sales will improve... |

In any case, by mystery you mean title with detective part? |

In general, I am surprised that now the romance in his purest form is easier find among manga than in the most popular light novell. |

| Incidentally, I'm a complete idiot. Obviously the best selling ongoing series that isn't fantasy, sci-fi or mystery is OreGairu. The fact that it hasn't had a new volume since June last year and has none planned for the near future made me not think of it earlier... =\ @Toshiya_K - vol 15 at least should be on the year end rankings, which several of the figures for earlier volumes are taken from. That will boost it above volume 14's sales. Vol 16 might be on there as well, depending on how good its long tail is. But yes, the series is definitely in a steep decline. Then again quite a few series have seen sales drop away fairly steeply recently. I wonder what the ebook sales trend (which aren't included in Oricon's data) would look like. |

I just thought that if after it holds the first place 11-12 weeks in a row, if it can do the same for the second place that'll be a miracle. At least it's still selling pretty well. |

| lmao I didn't even know the new Index volume was out yet |
 |
| I'm not surprised that the Index volume sells gets lower with every new release. Still glad it's at the top this week though. Also, Legend is quite an underrated series. |
 |
| Sanzensekai no Karasu wo Koroshi never heard of it but underrated scifi making into rankings which means it is good. |
 |
| Lol Index really needs to end soon, for its own sake. |

| That awful index sales is a testament for them that it needs another anime adaptation, asap. |
