Source for this? After all, ENTERBRAIN typically releases at the end of the month, not the start, with their next batch of releases scheduled for 29th and already lined up.
It's not unheard of for a label to release stuff outside the regular monthly batches and ENTERBRAIN has done so on a few occasions in the past, but it's certainly not the norm, and it's something I would be suspicious of.
Offical sources i can is several statements from the overlord wiki community including the lead supervisor who are fluent in japanese and was told they heard from offical sources....ok so maybe the 2nd march date thing might not be 100% concrte...however the reason as to delay..that is true..it was stated in his twitter sccount he had to postpone the release dat due to the bonus content on the blu rays that he himself is writing...however i can tell you for sure is that once the last blu ray volume is released vol 10 will follow after..so no more than a month after vol 6 is released tops.

Doubt it, the site that had that date was just using it as a placeholder or something.
There is no official confirmation by anyone and there are no ads or a cover.
nah it's official.

nah it's official.volume 10 was delayed cause the author is writing the side stories that are with the blu ray release of overlord...once those are published...the last one at the end of the month..we will get volume 10..just be a bit patient...cause i know the wait is a killer.

It sold 17,636 in this week's series ranking, little up compare to last week.
A bit strange though, because Grimgar have total 7 volumes, 17,636/7=~2519, but since no single volume show up in ranking(2.7k lowest), so every volume sold 2.5k at the same time? well, who knows.
Volumes of Hai to Gensou no Grimgar, like the vast majority of light novels, required 4416 to get on the rankings (top 20 light novels), not the 2208 threshold for the literature rankings which they are not eligible for.
And thus
this actually goes down to 2.5k to reach the 25th place, wow.
is a rather inaccurate statement.
Oh thanks for explain, now that make sense.

You're completely right. still, even 4400 is fairly low. and 2200 for litterature ranking is low as well.

Btw if Grimgat still 15k+ next week i will call it success, because you know, Grimgar LN was very unpopular, volume 1 can't even hit 10k sales before anime start airing, while Konosuba and Bahamut was 50k and 30k seller before anime start airing.

Looks like KonoSuba is owning. Definitely didn't expect to see that much of a boost.
*4. *7,801 **7,801 Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu Vol.4
Huh this actually does sell decently every time.
21. *4,416 **8,369 Ouroboros Record Vol.2
Ooh really glad to see this(Kitaaa). Just your everyday joe not wanting to die researching immortality, whats wrong with that ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)

Haven't watched KonoSuba and I don't plan to, seems extremely generic and full of Deen QUALITY. Good for the fans I guess.
Feb 10, 2016 6:28 PM by Hongu
That proves Konosuba are exceeding expectations, the anime probably boosted the sales
The author Akatsuki Natsume was complaining in their blog that they should have had a simpler signature created for their pen name. They were practicing it in advance of a book signing. I guess there weren't many book signings before the anime aired. Jokingly considering changing their name to a single letter from the western alphabet. Blog:

There's nothing there concerning vol 10 except for the old tweet from a month ago where it says how she/he has no idea when it'll be out(With a very deep deep and meaningful explanation ofc). Ah and also that the WN version is done for.
Well anyway it's all gossip at this point,although I heard that in the interview with Katsukura it was said the entire new volume could be split into 2 parts or was splittable or smth hence the delay.
Meh it'll probably be out in march/april anyway.
