Okay Youkoso, but Mahouka? It's strange, usually it is a more long time in the first place of sales.

? Sales are right where it usually is at this point, plus this volume got really good reviews so there is no way its under selling.

Was the last volume on the first place for as many weeks as this one? However, I think that the next volume one should definitely become a hit, especially taking into account the ending of this.

I believe the last volume was in 1st place for 2 weeks as well, it sold around 150k for the first 4 weeks and this volume is on the same place with over 140k within 3 weeks.

It should be, hoping it lives up to the hype.

Well, you are right, the second volume of 150 thousand is already guaranteed. I do not know what sales are demonstrating other over-top series, but I'm glad that Mahouka is consistently among the best-selling works of Dengeki Bungo.

Given the culmination of this volume and Miyuki's increasingly vivid conduct, I think that the next arch will be one of the hottest in the series. Maybe there are less than five volumes left to the end.

Well volume 16 was stated to be the half-way point and the series is going to expand into college, so I don't think 5 vols would be enough to reach that point tbh

The 16th volume was only the middle? Oh lol, and I was told that this was the "culmination of the series." Well, since there were only 7 volumes out of that time, I think that then we should wait at least 10. It's a pity that the anime has frozen on three more arcs.

3rd Season..
Might as well finish the whole Adaptation since LN almost came to conclusion in the next few volume
That might take about 26-36 Episodes if done correctly.

The Sheer number of Isekai titles sure is outstanding.
What is even more is all the different plot elements they are trying to use to make one different from the other.
