And it's not surprise that Rokujouma didn't make it. Do you know how other HJ Bunko series fare on the sales?
This week's POS bunko rankings* for HJ Bunko titles:
HJ文庫
*43位 六畳間の侵略者!?23
*86位 高1ですが異世界で城主はじめました9
161位 造られしイノチとキレイなセカイ
181位 押しかけ軍師と獅子の戦乙女
255位 戦うパン屋と機械じかけの看板娘5
307位 世界最強は家族と仲良く出稼ぎ中!3
387位 自宅警備員は社会の奴隷になりました。
Their bestselling ongoing series is either Rokujouma or Seirei Gensouki - the latest volume of the latter has the top reported sales for the label in the year to date, with a little over 9k sold in the first week, which had a few days more sales than this week had for new releases.
*Note that this uses both different data and a different method of counting to that used by Oricon. For volumes in a situation that HJ Bunko is in this week the method differences tend to result in POS giving lower rankings than Oricon does, as can be seen from Rokujouma's ranking above compared to the volume's bunko ranking from Oricon.
Incidentally, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Rokujouma was 21st on the series ranking.

Considering how much this series is completely slipping under the radar right now, it's not that bad, I guess.

I'm guessing Kimi no na wa is a big success?
It is selling well but it will depend on how the movies does though the pre-screening was successful and it is opening in a lot of theaters so it will probably do good too.

No Re:Zero in this week o.0
Well a bunch of new volumes released and a huge wave is in its second week so the cut off line is rather high.
The volumes not being in the rankings doesn't mean it sold not much right off the bat. Should still be within the top 5 series rankings,

20. *6,319 *56,113 Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Vol.9
Megumin's volume is still strong after a month I see~ that volume must've received a lot love from other Megumin's fan! It's too glorious.
With the limited edition, the total sales should be around 70-80k right? That's pretty awesome for KonoSuba...
*chant with me*
Season 3! Season 3! Season 3! Season 3! AND A MOVIE! Deen please.

Nisio returns to top the chart again. Nademonogatari's got a pretty amusing premise too, which I'm looking forward to seeing animated someday.
*1. 66,100 *66,100 Monogatari Series: Off Season Vol.2 "Wazamonogatari"
Considering Nademonogatari was released on July 29th and the weekly ranking ended two days later, it sold 16,071 copies on an average of 3 days, which I consider a fair sell. Wazamonogatari on the other hand sold 66,100 copies upon its release, but ranking for that week ended 4 days later it was published, so 13,222 copies on an average of 5 days (39,666 copies in a 3-day average).
I think Monogatari's market is pretty consistent. Of course, it's no longer what it used to be, but still decent enough for a franchise that's been running for almost 10 years now.
