Mahouka is newer than Log Horizon, hasn't had its anime aired yet and yet it's massively more popular than Log Horizon.

SAO selling more than Log Horizon has a very simple explanation. SAO has a huge fanbase (that it had years to build up) from back when it was an online web novel. Log Horizon is still fairly new. The outcome of the anime usually has the effect of boosting sales of the novel, as it's an advertisement. It's not going to suddenly cause fans of the novel to abandon it or anything.
None of this moe and Gary Sue nonsense that some in the western fanbase like to sprout around, which most likely originated from /a/ on 4chan or something along those lines.

Obviously because the Japanese think it is more interesting than Log Horizon? I don't know what you're trying to prove here, but I obviously didn't mean in a literal sense that a longer running series with naturally have a larger fanbase as with the case of SAO and Log Horizon. It is just evident that is the case, due to how many potential people could have bought the novel (since they wanted to own it, and read more of it later) when it was serialised in 2009, as the original SAO web novel had millions of pageviews.
If you're referring to my next sentence in the quote, then no. Just because it can invoke the moe feeling, and the main character is overpowered, doesn't mean it's a sure formula for success. There are many other novels that have the same elements that may not be as successful. It's all to do also with how heavily advertised it is, how it was serialised, and many other factors.
I'm sure someone else can explain the other factors involved with novels that can potentially make them successful.

Fairy Tail in first. That's really rare, but good to see, at least for me.
For the people saying that Nanatsu no Taizai needs an anime adaptation, I found this:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/18093/Nanatsu_no_Taizai
It's going to air somewhere in 2014.
Also: Nanatsu & Fairy Tail Crossover coming! :D

Log Horizon is better written than SAO and much more work has been put into building the world of Log Horizon, but it doesn't have the moe waifus and Gary Sue wish fulfillment that SAO had. It's not hard to imagine which will sell better among the kids in Japan.

Moe isn't a genre, it's a rising feeling that can invoked by pretty much anything... An example I like to give is the tanks in Girls und Panzer. These tanks invoked the moe feeling amongst military otaku. I'm quite sure those tanks aren't cute girls at all like the western fanbase like to stereotype too much.
The Japanese are also not so shallow to like something just because it has cute girls, a possible overpowered main character, harem, etc. They look for a balance of everything (good characters, character interactions, music, plot, etc), unlike some in the western fanbase who places too much emphasis on plot for something to even interest them. That shallow obsession with plot is displayed so well in the Anime Discussion forum, on ANN, and also in the News Discussion threads (with those whiny posts on "why does this shit sell so much when anime B is oh so much better", etc etc, we see so often)

Yuru Yuri is first and foremost a moe slice of life comedy series, it's not that different from being Lucky Star MKII, the type of series that Japan absolutely loves except that it has Yuri as a comedy device. Sakura Trick looks like a more serious Yuri series, the type that's a really hard sell and that rarely does well.

I'm not too pessimistic about Sakura Trick, since we have Yuru Yuri which sold pretty well, both are of the Yuri genre.

Aoi Hana was drama-heavy yuri. Sakura Trick is tagged as a comedy. There is still a chance.

Book sales anywhere only have the loosest of correlations to how well written it is.
Still, the two series aren't really worth comparing. In terms of what actually matters, there's very little similarity between them.

I ended up having to get Non Non Biyori from CDJapan for vols. 1-5, as Amazon only had vol. 6 in stock when I ordered early on after the anime started.
It still baffles me how bad publishers are at maintaining stock at major online retailers when their property is getting an anime adaptation. I know they need to be cautious about reprinting too many, but they seem to be far too conservative. I've had this problem with every series I've tried to buy the manga for after seeing the anime. Every single one. I went ahead and bought Sakura Trick early just to be safe because I bet it'll happen there too, even though the anime will sell low at best. It seems to affect series at all different popularity levels.
Perhaps they're giving heavy preference to B&M stores, but I don't see why that would be the case.

Wait, so the reprints for NNB are out already?
And. I'd imagine Sakura Trick get a reprint if the anime sells well enough.
I'm not too pessimistic about Sakura Trick, since we have Yuru Yuri which sold pretty well, both are of the Yuri genre.

Honto has vols 1-3 listed as shipping within 1-3 days, which usually means that they're sold out but can get new stock in without problems. So I would guess yes.
On the other hand vols 4-6 are listed as shipping within 7-21 days, which pretty much means "no stock available but expect to get some eventually".
Amazon has vols 1, 2 and 6 in stock. CDJapan has everything except volume 4 listed as "within 5-7 days" - volume 4 being out of print.
Perhaps they've reprinted the first half so far but not the second. It certainly looks as though they've done the first 2 volumes but not volume 4.

Anything that ranks here on the manga and novel lists is doing quite well even if it isn't Sword Art Online or Shingeki no Kyogin.
I think series that don't rank but which continue to run in their magazines, they are doing well too. That is actually the danger at times for running in the big magazines; they have higher expectations than the smaller magazines. Your run in Shounen Jump may end with sales levels which would make them the flagship title of smaller publishers.
If your favorites are still being made then I think you can probably just be happy about that. Having Naruto/One Piece sales is not always good; I'm not sure how much freedom they have to end those series when they want to end them.

I wonder if there's anyway to know about lesser popular titles' sales status? I want to know how some of my favourite lesser known series like Sotomura-san and Ryuushika Ryuushika do in sales?
Oh, and are those NNB reprints on sale yet?

Why SAO sells more than Log Horizon? It is more popular. People are invested in the franchise and buy it up.
I was really happy to see both UQ Holder and Yamada-Kun as high in sales as they are! Great performance for a first volume for UQ, but it is a sequel to Negima! so it may not really count as a "1st volume"... Maybe "1st* Volume", with the * meaning (for a sequel).
None the less, nice sales figures! I hope it keeps getting better, like it has over the past few chapters.

i don't understand why SAO sales more than Log Horizon ? what elements in SAO novel that makes this novel sale so much ?
is it really good ?
Why SAO sells more than Log Horizon? It is more popular. People are invested in the franchise and buy it up.
I was really happy to see both UQ Holder and Yamada-Kun as high in sales as they are! Great performance for a first volume for UQ, but it is a sequel to Negima! so it may not really count as a "1st volume"... Maybe "1st* Volume", with the * meaning (for a sequel).
None the less, nice sales figures! I hope it keeps getting better, like it has over the past few chapters.

Part anime boost and part existing fan-base(those who read the original online version).

While I'm sort of glad some of the big shounen series are ending soon, I'm still a bit pissed that the ones that are here to stay (Fairy Tail) can't form some cohesive plot which can last more than 40-50 chapters without everything starting over again.

Great to see SAO up there as well. Really hope that if SAO is successful for them Yen Press may think about bring over the Progressive novels.
