Gotta get my hand in a few weeks on that Last Embryo 6 and that Oregairu 13 together with the 7th volume of the hidden gem that is SukaMoka that got out this week on the first but didn't make the ranking as usual, the side stories volume of the excellent Honzuki that got out last month, the volume 17 of Honzuki and the final volume of KyouHora (this series is finally finished after above 25,000 pages lolmao) both getting out this week (should be in the next oricon chart report), and Danmachi vol 14 getting out one week later.
+ Maybe a few volumes that I missed from earlier because out of stock like that elusive final volume of Alderamin.

Looking forward to them all, nice list of release this month <3

Book size. Bunko are the smallest type of book, easily fitting in pockets and usually very cheap. Book and literature book are shinsho and tankoubon formats, far bigger and about twice as pricier.

Oh wow, thanks, you're right, I was so sure it wasn't here that I just skimmed through to check, and ended up missing it.

That's really nice to see that this series is now doing well enough to rank in there even with its sequel, and despite having only around half of the week to sell. <3

no official translation, no licensing from any English publisher either.
AFAIK amateur translation hasn't even finished 3 novels, but they may have progressed a lot since then, as I haven't checked on that for a huge while.

Sukasuka IS licensed and currently being released in English. Afaik the second volume is released this month (or was released last month?) and a new volume is planned every 4 months.

What? I just recently searched on the site that I normally use to order books and I was unable to find it there. And they have all licensed LNs.

Good to see that the isekai gender-bend kung-fu summoner is at least OK in sales. I'd definitly watch an anime version of it.

Though this seems to be a low-activity list, since there's only one series with 10k+ sales this week.

Seems Slime is having a similar experience on the LN side as Overlord did. Not present at all in the individual volumes sales list and yet still in the top 3 overall somehow.

Using the other set of series rankings, its average sales per volume were 1633. If volume 1 got the same relative to this average that Seishun Buta Yarou vol 1 did relative to its average, then it would have sold 2171 copies, which was 376 below the ranking threshold. It's not particularly notable when you think about it like that.
