Kimi no Na wa also left the #1 spot for weeks so why is Re: Zero the only surprise here? Kimi no Na wa sold for MONTHS already and is still doing well in rankings.

But that guy explain it to me

KonoSuba sells more in the same time period with new volumes, yes. But Re:Zero has been above KonoSuba in backlog sales every single week since its anime started airing.
On the POS bunko rankings for the week in this thread, Re:Zero volume 10 is in 82nd and volume 1 in 99th. Meanwhile KonoSuba volume 10 is the highest rank for that series (other than the spinoff which is on the rankings above) on 109th.
Also Re:Zero was not the only thing to rerank this week - Kinyoubi no Ohayou also had been out the ranks since mid-November and several other volumes had dropped out for a week or two.

But why isn't there some other LN like konosoba and some other things?
Isn't konosoba's 10th vol has been releced in the same time like re zero? As far as i know that konosoba is a little more popular than re zero so it should also has been on the list

Not sure what you're asking there?
If you mean the light novel that has been on the rankings for the most weeks in total, not even close.
If you mean the most consecutive weeks then... I think it depends on if you count certain things as light novels or not. Manga de Wakaru Nanatsu no Shuukan volume 1 lasted on the rankings for 49 consecutive weeks after release, which I believe is the highest for a volume included consistantly on the rankings by MAL (although it isn't a light novel). Kimi no Na wa. is currently on 30.
If you mean the volume that has reached rank 1 the longest after release then no as things have reached rank 1 from reranking before now. And it's also worth pointing out that, while it's the rank 1 light novel it's not the rank 1 overall. Indeed, 2ch/refugeechan includes Boku wa Ashita, Kimi to Date Suru in their ranking list, which sold more than the Kadokawa Bunko edition of Kimi no Na wa. this week, came out in 2014 and may well have been on the rankings every single week since (cbb to check as I don't include it myself so I'd need to check every single ranking).

I wouldn't call either of them a surprise to be honest. The new year holiday period always gives a big boost to cinema attendance, and Kimi no Na wa. was a big beneficiary of this and made more than double in the box office what it did 2 weeks previously. More people seeing the film in the cinema = more people buying the books.

Well true. I'm actually not surprised at Re: Zero, but seeing how Kimi no Na wa have been in the rankings ever since it came out, it comes to a nice surprise I guess. By the way with the data and your predictions, how long will Kimi no Na wa remain in rankings before it drops off?
Also, is it the #1 LN to remain in the rankings for the longest period to date?

This week always has just about the lowest threshold of the entire year (at least for bunko stuff), meaning that volumes can get on the rankings with lower than usual sales figures. Virtually nothing new comes out in the first few days of the year, which nicely coincides here with the first half of the week covered by the thread, leaving space open on the rankings for volumes to rerank which would usually be sitting a little below the level at which we get to see their data.
That volume of re:zero has averaged 3302 sales per week since it left the rankings in mid November, so this isn't an unusual sales figure, but this is the first time (and probably the last time) the threshold has been low enough to see it.

If you mean the most consecutive weeks then... I think it depends on if you count certain things as light novels or not. Manga de Wakaru Nanatsu no Shuukan volume 1 lasted on the rankings for 49 consecutive weeks after release, which I believe is the highest for a volume included consistantly on the rankings by MAL (although it isn't a light novel). Kimi no Na wa. is currently on 30.
If you mean the volume that has reached rank 1 the longest after release then no as things have reached rank 1 from reranking before now. And it's also worth pointing out that, while it's the rank 1 light novel it's not the rank 1 overall. Indeed, 2ch/refugeechan includes Boku wa Ashita, Kimi to Date Suru in their ranking list, which sold more than the Kadokawa Bunko edition of Kimi no Na wa. this week, came out in 2014 and may well have been on the rankings every single week since (cbb to check as I don't include it myself so I'd need to check every single ranking).
Ah yes, talking about consecutive weeks.
49.... So I guess Kimi no Na wa needs to stay another 20 weeks to beat it then.
Thanks.
