| Well a lot of unsurprising titles in there. But since I didn't know there was a novel of the latest Conan movie I'm gonna check it out. Also it seems like it's time to start reading Fate. |
 |
| Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records and eromanga-sensei already getting their anime boost :) Kinda sad too see thoose Rakudai sales only 10k hope it can add some more in the next weeks since the previous vol sold around 25~ 30k as i remember. |
 |
| Fate/Strange Fake at the top of the rankings? Noice! |
My Queens  |
| Waiting for the next Konosuba or Overlord. Hope Rokuaka can do it. Definitely gonna check the LN |
| Ffs wheres the Slime anime adaption? ;___; |
| Re:Zero still hanging in there and making bank. :D Dat Rokudenashi boost tho. |
| Tensei Slime manga keeps selling 300k+ per manga vol while LN still at 70k+. Spinoff manga selling close to 100k+. hoping to get anime soon. Hopefully the next new hit that will get the most hype of the year. Also glad to see LN's getting their anime boosts. hope the others also gets a big boost like Zero Kara and SukaSuka etc. Its sad to see Re:Zero not doing better with as big as it is in japan. At least it has a good tail in the long run. |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Nice to see Fate at the top of the list. |
 |
| A lot of Rokudenashi this week. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Sales of Eromanga more and more motivate me to start reading it, lol. However, as I see, Akashic Records has also become a promising title. |
 |
| Although I'm going to assume it's volume 1, you didn't actually write out which volume the top Rokudenashi seller was in the OP @Snow (#7 on the list) |

kuuderes_shadow said: Ehh fair enough, that seems kinda stupid to me though. If it's a standalone release it's one thing but if you plan to make a multi-volume series it sounds pretty natural to name the first volume as volume 1 to me :sHaXXspetten said: Although I'm going to assume it's volume 1, you didn't actually write out which volume the top Rokudenashi seller was in the OP @Snow (#7 on the list) Volume 1 of Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records doesn't have any number in its title. |

| Rokudenashi defying the odds and getting that big boost :) Eromanga also going up. |

NG_Calen said: Seriously what's with Fate/stange Fake, is it a parody/comedy, is it just another series. It's another series about a "fake" grail war (I guess) with Gilgamesh as a main character. Which is all I need to want it licensed. |

Robiiii said: Larkanite said: Kemono friends official twitter revealed that the first 2 BD Official Guide book volumes have broken 120k copies in print. Lol that seems impossible ahaha Why? In print does not mean sold. And a lot of these volumes are being sold in places that do not report to Oricon. The tweet seems to suggest that the 120k is the total between vols 1 and 2 as well, unless I'm misreading it. So 60k per volume. For a series with millions of viewers. It's a good deal cheaper than most anime would be as well. |

| Glad to see Rokudenashi getting that massive boost, same for Eromanga-sensei. Is it just me, or is Clockwork Planet utterly missing from this list. At this rate, it's never going to get licensed. Oh well, Guess we'll have to see how the anime sales go. #DOYOURBEST |

Oh well, Guess we'll have to see how the anime sales go. #DOYOURBEST Not just not on the rankings but nowhere near them. Even the first volume is 241st on the POS bunko ranks - below every volume of eromanga-sensei and perhaps 1.5k sales tops? Vol 2 375th (joint with volume 1 of Biblia), and vols 3+ not in the top 500. The order of the boosts of light novels (on the basis of boosts for the first 2 volumes - so no influence from new volumes) at the moment seems to be: 1. Akashic Records 2. Eromanga Sensei 3. Sakurada Reset 4. SukaSuka 5. Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho 6. Clockwork Planet 7. SaeKano season 2 (2nd seasons always give smaller boosts) 8. DanMachi Sword Oratoria (seems to be functioning similarly to a second season) On the other hand the size of a sales boost from an anime in Japan has little to no bearing on the chance of a series getting licensed in the West. |

| Whew Fate/Baccano Durarara still selling well. I hope this leads to Narita actually doing better work on his actually important series rather than the one he is paid to make. Otherwise, the flavor of the season LN gets an anime advert boost, nothing new. SukaSuka deserves far more boost than the fanservice title. NG_Calen said: Seriously what's with Fate/stange Fake, is it a parody/comedy, is it just another series. Its pretty much Durarara but with a fate skin. Its an okay read but its pretty much just that. Sales are mainly due to the fate brand. |

Oops, my bad. For future reference though, what factors affect the chances of a series getting licensed? 1. Whether the foreign licensor thinks it will sell well in their language market. 2. Who the Japanese publishing label is. 3. How much the Japanese publisher/author wish to push the series with a foreign audience. That's basically it. Obviously various things can influence #1 and #3, and a big boost from an anime in Japan may make the Japanese publisher want to push that series for an English language release, but at the end of the day it really isn't that significant. |

| I guess DanMachi sales have increased with the new anime... ?? |
