Good anime boost for Oshigoto. I think it is selling almost double than before the anime. Not so much for Death March, from the previous volume 27k in two weeks to 32k in two weeks in this volume.

Good sales also for Slime Tensei but it has very bad legs compared with other LNs like Mahouka or No Game no Life.

The two next weeks are going to be very active in LN sales. Next week we have DxD, SlashDog (DxD spin-off), Date a Live and Akashic Records and in two weeks Grimgar, Re Zero and Asterisk.

It'll probably end around vol 30 at the current rate. The author already said he planned on covering their entire high school years, and they're only about a 1/3 into their third year right now.

Mahouka magic school terms aren't exactly the same as real life tbh, but besides that most of Mahouka's content has been taking place outside of high school, so a shorter school year won't really effect the length at this point into the story. To give some perspective, their 3rd Year started at volume 21 and we're on volume 24(plus volume 25 coming out next month) and its only June, so only a little over a month has passed in 4 going on 5 volumes in the mahouka timeline.

I wouldn't say dragged, but anyways theirs no question that the series is getting closer to the end, but definitely not in 1 -2 volumes. Just with all the things going on in the story right now, it would be impossible to finish it with that many volumes. Also the climax for the current story arc is in the next volume, not the series itself. This is where I think the confusion that mahouka was ending really soon came from.
