Campione takes so long between volumes now that I always forget it is coming out. Forgot to order this one. Also keep wondering how much longer it will go on. Really enjoyed the anime, silly as it is, and the novels are pretty good too.
Next volume coming out on December is said to be the last volume. Source, on the Campione box. The long gap between 18 and 19 was probably to write the ending.
Sorry to necropost but I finally got my copy of Campione! v20 and it seems it isn't the final one after all! V21 will be The Final Battle instead. I assume that's the last one but you never know...

For days before the most recent one you use the month links on the right. Bear in mind that each day is under the month it is posted in, not the month that the date corresponds to, but they're always posted in order.

Also as per usual remember that this is the POS rank which is not the same data as that which Oricon uses.


Hmm....Thanks for the links.

What's the margin of error as compared to what Oricon uses? Is the standard deviation high? Don't wanna be hyped up about some series only to find out it wasn't THAT good when Oricon standings comes out.


It's not exactly easy to say. There are certain things that tend to get bigger sales on Oricon than POS, most significantly things that get released early in some places but not others, and some things that seem to be the other way around. Generally, though, something doing well on the POS rankings throughout the week will do well on the Oricon rankings as well.

Here's a comparison between the weekly bunko rankings for the week covered in this thread on Oricon and POS for the top 30 on Oricon (Oricon rank on the left, POS on the right):


Of course, when you're dealing with daily rankings you have to remember that some days will generally be more significant than others, as well as bear in mind when volumes come out for new stuff. Conveniently the POS rankings show the release date (actual, not official) of each volume on the right of the line.

Doesn't look too well....if it manages to stay #1 again once more, it'll be nice.

I guess it's pretty awesome to stand in the #1 spot for 10 weeks already. Seeing the sale numbers though it means it'll drop out of ranking fast the moment is starts to drop.

I guess I'll buy one more copy of Shousetsu and ANOTHER SIDE: EARTHBOUND for collection.


Kimi no Na wa. will likely stay ahead for the rest of the week now. But it's worth mentioning that Tuesday was the "official" release date of KonoSuba, so it could have outsold Kimi no Na wa. by quite a substantial margin.

This week's figures will be interesting to see either way, though I've changed my earlier prediction of KonoSuba coming out on top to one of Kimi no Na wa. beating it slightly (and quite considerably if you include both versions).

The next week, though? Not happening unless Kimi no Na wa. suddenly increases again - which would be quite a turnaround at this point.


I hope your estimation is true. I'd like it to stay at LEAST one more week. Shall await for news then :|

Btw where did you see the daily bunko ranks?

Good to see Shousetsu Kimi no Na wa at the top again. I'm probably the only one that wants to see it there for as long as it can. Hopefully it can stay on for another week or 2.

If it does I'm getting another copy of it for friends.

Reminds me I gotta buy the first LN of Konosuba whenever it releases.


If you're talking about the English release then it's scheduled for February.

Sees Kimi no Na wa numbers. Must resist urge to watch crappy chinese cam version... Need. To. See. Glorious 1080p.

Kimi no Na wa., please stop, I haven't watched you yet...
I'm saying. I have not watched the anime, don't know what I am honestly waiting for but my god it seems to be doing well.

Happy to see ReZero doing well :)

Ugh Kimi no Na Wa again...


Could be for the last time. KonoSuba should beat it next time, and then you've got Index the week after

Hopefully dude, hopefully. I got nothing against Kimi no Na Wa, but I'm tired of it being first place for so long.

Oh, I completely missed the release news for Reinousha Minato vol 10. Nice, I'll have to get that one with the next novel batch.


Mahoiku isn't selling at all. Is this really the



rather than the tokubetsu henshuuhan though? the tokubetsu one is basically the same thing with more content so....


The tokubetsu henshuuhan is a tankobon release so doesn't qualify for the bunko rankings. The bunsho ranking has a higher threshold and neither version makes it on there (the hibike! euphonium volume that is 231st on the bunko ranking is 498th on the bunsho ranking, which should give you an idea of the threshold for the top 500).

aaah right, why didn't I thought about that. Thanks for the answer, so it's really the old one in that ranking, we have no info on the other.

Peoples buying the old one are missing out, tbh.

Has the main male and female (forgot names) relationship grew a lot Since the anime or is it leaning more towards a harem ending?
Haven't read 19 yet and been a year and a half since I read 18 but it was still a harem last time I checked.
