Ln in bunko format are around 100 yen cheaper in average than the average manga in japan.
Yes novels sells usually far less than manga. That's because it takes far less time to read a manga so you need more to spend the same time in the hobby, and because peoples don't like to read, they like pictures. It's the same for every country after all.
I'm disappointed at Gekitotsu no Hexennacht 's sales. I thought Kawakami's fans would support it more. I personnaly intend to buy that one, since it's Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon's sequel (note: by sequel, I mean a sequel happening thousand of years later in the same world, not a direct sequel, kyouhora isn't finished anyway).

This is all what I came for. NGNL was top for the past two weeks and it was about damn time SAO came in. Still happy for both.
Expecting SAO to be 160k+ by next week.

I double checked and lowered the minimum slightly. Even that might be a little on the high side (430 would probably be about right).
I buy too much of my manga from less mainstream labels (which thus tend to have slightly higher prices) so my initial off-the-top-of-my-head figure was rather skewed as a result. Still, I'd say 500-550 yen for the typical manga, 600-650 yen for the typical light novel.

No they aren't.
Light novel prices are typically around 600-750 yen per volume. Manga prices are typically around 500-900 yen per volume.
Kodansha BOX are an extreme(!) outlier, costing slightly over twice as much as a typical manga or light novel.

Ah thanks.
I thought manga cost no more than 400-500 yen? Have the prices changed or was I just wrong?

No they aren't.
Light novel prices are typically around 600-750 yen per volume. Tankobon format light novels (which are a minority) cost more - typically 800-900 yen per volume. Manga prices are typically around 450-900 yen per volume.
Kodansha BOX are an extreme(!) outlier, costing slightly over twice as much as a typical manga or light novel. It's also a very small (in terms of number of releases) publishing label.

Yes, some are just two times more expensive but others can be up to four times like monogatari ones.Just curious, does LN is more expensive than manga? Cause I notice LN usually sell lower than manga.
But manga is also more mainstream than light novels so the numbers would still on average be higher anyway.

Implying a studio change has ever worked out for the better for an anime franchiseJust change studio and keep going already ::/
It has. It's called Full Metal Panic! S1 with Gonzo sold 4.3k, Fumoffu with KyoAni sold 10k which prompted TSR with KyoAni that sold 6.3k. Not to mention the anime greatly boosted the LNs making it one of the best selling LNs of all time with 10 million+ copies sold. Also, TSR is considered vastly superior to s1 in every way and Fumoffu has garnered critical acclaim for its slapstick comedy.
