I can't wait to watch the Anime for Kenja no Mago.

It's interesting, as it's a Magic School Battle series where the cast is gender balanced with the MC having male comrades too in his group, as well as no harem with the MC having only one single heroine/waifu like in good old-fashioned Shounen manga of the classic days.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

Not exactly anything new there - the first volume of One Piece Strong Worlds sold >200k copies before dropping off the rankings.

I need to get my hand on that one piece ace backstory novel, it's gonna be interesting to read.

Great to see, Re Zero, Mahouka, and overlord doing great (the only light novels I read lol), I need to get to No Game No Life, but I need to watch the anime first.

Testament traditionally sells well. It's currently number 2 on Kadokawa's website.
