These are the WEEKLY sales lists. They are what sold LAST WEEK. Most people buy books THE WEEK THEY COME OUT. This means no matter how popular they are, most only sell for a few weeks after they come out. The exception to this is sometimes when a new anime is announced or something like that, people will suddenly discover a series that came out some time ago and there will be an exceptional set of sales.
Gintama 48 came out February 4th so it is not on the chart months later.
Gintama 49 is coming out May 2nd. Look for it on the charts the week after, on the 9th, 10th or so the April 30-May 6 chart will come out.
It will be a long wait for the next yearly list but Gintama was #13 in 2012:

Why RDG at the LN section? it's not a LN it's a regular Novel.
I know RDG is a regular novel. It is just that the LN section actually covers any book that is LN or LN/manga/anime related (but not manga itself). So an One Piece art album, for example, will also go into the "LN section". It can be a bit confusing but we reckon having 2 rankings (manga and "LN & others") is better than maintaining a number of fragmented rankings for every possible category.Why RDG at the LN section? it's not a LN it's a regular Novel.
oh... thanks for the information :)

Why don't I see any Toaru Majutsu no Index?... :(
Index has been the #1 or #2 Light Novel series for the last four years... Why are it's sales so low... it's only been 4 months since the last release? Is it really that long? Hopefully, volume 7 will change that on May 10, 2013...
