| Wow, Youjo Senki gets stronger by the week! Monogataris latest anouncment brought new life to the franchise. |
| Glad to see Monogatari still at the top for this week. |
 |
Still doing well. Alas, translations are slow atm. |

Not that the anime of the first season did particularly well anyway. The change of publishers can't have helped matters either. And bigger than Bleach falling off - Kimi no Na wa. Another Side: Earthbound is not on the rankings for the first time. |

| Great to see "Tsujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de 2-kai Kougeki no Okaasan wa Suki desu ka?" in there already. Really a great novel. |
 |
| 11,537 *,*22,931 Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry Vol.11 Quite nice hope it reaches 30k and wish it would get a 2nd season aswell since the manga is barely just catching up to the end of the anime stuff and the novels are also slow on translation |
 |
| Monogatari<3 fuck yes. |
| Bleach is off the list :'( Goblins Slayer still slaying. Nice sales, this has been getting some buzz. Ton of isekai coming up in the next few months, hope they sell well. *8. *7,095 *,**7,095 Tsujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de 2-kai Kougeki no Okaasan wa Suki desu ka? |

*1. 28,660 *,*82,323 Monogatari Series: Off Season Vol.4 "Musubimonogatari" Musubi is everywhere and I'm getting more and more hyped. Plus, getting more and more disappointed at myself for being unable to fully read Japanese nor have a copy for myself, completely being dependent to awesome people who give out translations and such. |

| Seems that the anime adaptation of Youjo Senki is helping with a boost. |

| POS bunsho rankings for series with ongoing anime adaptations: I've gone back to the bunsho/bunko rankings for POS as the rankings have been back for a while now and Youjo Senki isn't a bunko format release. These rankings include all volumes, not just light novel ones. Which is why the ranks are much lower than those in the thread above. w/c 16th January: Youjo Senki: 326位 幼女戦記７ Ut sementem feceris, ita metes *52位 幼女戦記１ Deus lo vult 102位 幼女戦記２ Plus Ultra 178位 幼女戦記３ The Finsest hour 281位 幼女戦記４ Dabit deus his quoque finem. 387位 幼女戦記５ Abyssus abyssum invocat 479位 幼女戦記６ Nil admirari KonoSuba: 118位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！スピンオフ 続・この素晴らしい世界に爆焔を！ 我ら、めぐみん盗賊団 193位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！ あぁ、駄女神さま 242位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！２ 中二病でも魔女がしたい！ 290位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！３ よんでますよ、ダクネスさん。 301位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！４ 鈍ら四重奏 ～ナマクラカルテット～ 498位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！スピンオフ この素晴らしい世界に爆焔を！ めぐみんのターン 313位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！５ 爆裂紅魔にレッツ＆ゴー!! 355位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！６ 六花の王女 373位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！７ 億千万の花嫁 366位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！８ アクシズ教団VSエリス教団 350位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！９ 紅の宿命 322位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！10 ギャンブル・スクランブル！ Left over from previous seasons: Re:Zero: 207位 Re：ゼロから始める異世界生活11 323位 Re：ゼロから始める異世界生活１ 424位 Re：ゼロから始める異世界生活２ 448位 Re：ゼロから始める異世界生活９ 367位 Re：ゼロから始める異世界生活10 w/c 9th January: w/c 2nd January: Source: POS via book-rank.net |

| Damn. I just remembered that most season 2 anime's LN never really get additional sales. I assumed from the data, that KonoSuba being on rank 193+ on each volume is a very low sales and bad sign for the LN side, since there is no huge increase of sales like last year. 193位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！ あぁ、駄女神さま 242位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！２ 中二病でも魔女がしたい！ 290位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！３ よんでますよ、ダクネスさん。 301位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！４ 鈍ら四重奏 ～ナマクラカルテット～ 498位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！スピンオフ この素晴らしい世界に爆焔を！ めぐみんのターン 313位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！５ 爆裂紅魔にレッツ＆ゴー!! 355位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！６ 六花の王女 373位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！７ 億千万の花嫁 366位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！８ アクシズ教団VSエリス教団 350位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！９ 紅の宿命 322位 この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！10 ギャンブル・スクランブル！ So... RIP KonoSuba season 3? ;_; This series is honestly one of my biggest hype to get a third season, considering how epic it would be to adapt volume 5 and 6. |

RIP KonoSuba season 3? ;_; This series is honestly one of my biggest hype to get a third season, considering how epic it would be to adapt volume 5 and 6. Actually that's damn good for sales during a second series. Probably helped by the fact that it had never actually dropped off entirely from the first one. Then again series beyond the second (and even the second to a large extent) depend more on other things than the boost to the original source. At the same point in time in the airing of Highschool DxD's second season there was not a single back volume on the POS* rankings at all, yet that got a third season. Of course, a third season of a light novel adaptation is absurdly rare anyway. No Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko title has ever had one (this doesn't count). Not even Haruhi did. *Bunko, as this was before the bunsho rankings started. But it's easier to get on the bunko ones than the bunsho ones - KonoSuba vol 1 was 94th on the bunko ranks for this week. |

Yeah, I suppose the current preorders on the BD is not so bad and there's still 2 more months before release, so hopefully there's still a chance. kuuderes_shadow said: Actually that's damn good for sales during a second series.

Do you know if these rankings and sales number included the e-Book side of the sales? Since I recently learned that KonoSuba earned the #1 spot for e-book of the year 2016.  kuuderes_shadow said: Then again series beyond the second (and even the second to a large extent) depend more on other things than the boost to the original source.

Yeah, I realized that most anime never even get a third season. Not even one of the most popular LN that goes up the ranking of the year almost every year, Toaru series, can get a third season. If Highschool DxD who sold less than 10k on average can get a third and fourth season, I hope KonoSuba can too. |

Since I recently learned that KonoSuba earned the #1 spot for e-book of the year 2016. No, they don't include ebook sales. The POS rankings are apparently based on about 2500 stores around Japan, but they don't specify which ones. Oricon doesn't include ebooks either. I don't think there are any rankings that provide a full picture of Japan's ebook sales - although there are plenty for individual retailers that make up significant parts of the ebook market. Unfortunately these tend to give very different results from one another. They also tend to be series based rather than volume based which can obscure the data. I think it's fairly safe to say that KonoSuba does well on the ebook front, though. |
