Didn't even know Izaya from Durarara had his own spinoff. I'd like for a publisher in the future to pick it up cause I definitely want to read it.

Actually this is second installment for Izaya novel series. It's called "Standing Ovation with Orihara Izaya"

Yes, It would be nice if this novel got licensed by Yen Press too.

Congratz for Kimi no na wa passing 1 million copies finally :)

New Danmachi volume came out. It should pass over 100k eventually. I guess if there will be second season for the anime, it was very entertaining, tho i still need to catch up with novel...

Hmm, let's see... Otherwise I'd not mind for a 2nd season, because we need more Rem-chan and Emilia-tan...xD

Well if you look at the production committee and how the respective companies are ranked you see that the light novels are merely a part ( a big one tho ) of what warrants or doesn't warrant a sequel. Volume 9 isn't even out for a month yet but it still reaches good weekly sales. On top of that it's the first volume to survive without a direct advertisement. Not only that but majority of volume 9's content is something people have seen in the anime. Volume 10 is when the light novel series as a whole will be put under the test :)

Re:Zero's sales are 10 times their pre-anime levels.

And no idea what the record for most weeks at rank 1 is. It's not something I keep track of. Especially as there are volumes that have taken the rank 1 spot years after release.

I wonder what stray dogs' novel "55 minutes" is about . "Dazai osamu and the dark era" novel was a great piece of work from kafka Asagiri , so interested in this ...

I'm really curious as well. Are they all same or differ stories? Let's wait for someone who knows the answer.

Huuu... Re:Zero did it seems some feathers lost... It'll be questionable for a 2nd season in the future...>_>

Oct 20, 2016 8:52 AM by Tenryuu1

Oct 20, 2016 8:51 AM by mozgow

Oct 20, 2016 8:49 AM by R_TF
