I was surprised too. Particularly the one ranked no.9 the sample text on the page of the novel http://www.tiarabunko.jp/c/item/6667.html-00001 is full-blown hardcore porn with sadomasochism and menage-a-trois.

Let me translate some dialogue for you, LOL:

"Ah, ahhh....!"...
「はぁ……、あ、あ、あ、あ、あぁっ!!」
"Ha...., ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhh!!"

Nice to see Chihayafuru ding good, I'm one of those who hope for 3rd season as well.
Also happy for Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo doing well.
As for SnK i'm curious how anime ending will affect sales. I expect few week sales rush and then drop from rankings. Anyway during all half year of anime airing there was always all volumes in rankings.
Year end chart should be quite attacked by titans :) There is big chance of all volumes being in top 25 bestsellers for the year.

Many of you may not know what they are, as high as they are ranked. But the first (title translated as "the night robbed by father- and brother-in-law") is an otome porn LN and the other two are related works for a long-running BL franchise. Just goes to show the strength of hardcore female consumers....

Also IS: Infinite Stratos is doing bad... Good, but why?
Mainly because this is not a new volume. It is a Overlap edition as the series moves to a new publisher named Overlap. Given most of those who already bought the old edition of vol.7 are unlikely to buy the new version just for the new illustration art, the sales figure itself is actually quite good I'd say. For how strong this franchise currently may be, you should look at the sales of a truly new volume from Overlap, which is vol.8 published in April this year:Also IS: Infinite Stratos is doing bad... Good, but why?
*2, 53,581 *,*53,581 IS: Infinite Stratos Vol.8
*3, 29,803 *,*29,803 IS: Infinite Stratos Vol.8 Special Edition
A LOT more than the couple of thousands sold for the new edition of vol.7 last week. So unfortunately you seem to have celebrated a bit prematurely for its "doing bad".
JoksPacifist said:
I know liking a art/design is totally subjective, but if the Japanese IS fans think the way I do, those new illustrations aren't enough to buy the volume re-release. It is common knowlodge that story isn't the strongest point of these shows.
As much as what you said about illustration being a key selling point for LN in Japan. In this case, the "poor" sales of IS vol.7 does not really have to do with that. I know liking a art/design is totally subjective, but if the Japanese IS fans think the way I do, those new illustrations aren't enough to buy the volume re-release. It is common knowlodge that story isn't the strongest point of these shows.

Also, isn't it Vol. 8 of Date A Live that's called Natsumi Search? Vol. 7 is Miku Truth.
That is a typo. Should be vol.8 not vol.7 in the list. Fixed.

I need to start Magi. I was against watching it at first because at first glance, the anime didn't seem very interesting to me, but apparently I am wrong.

Could it be because of the monthly serialization?

Because some of those volumes came out several years ago.

WataMote is a more modest seller than I thought it was.
WataMote is a more modest seller than I thought it was.
That is only 2 days of sales. But still, WataMote has the unusual and unenviable distinction of having its sales drop in line with the airing of the anime.
After 2 days the last volume had sold 38.5k, and that in turn got about 5% fewer sales than the previous (and pre-anime) volume got.
