Wow, so Youjo Senki sold more than 20k this week?

23321 in total apparently.

Thanks for the precise numbers, as usual x). That's a very nice start for such a niche novel.

Anyone know the decline of the gatari series LN sales? Using mal search is a hassle

For the first week, Musubi sold more than Nade, but its a bit far from the first novel of the off-season Orokamonogatari
But i bet Shinobumonogatari will surpass Oroka on sales

Rakudai and Goblin Slayer's results were from 3 days, but apparently most stores started selling them on the second day so it's pretty much 2.5 days.

Can anyone tell me for how many days it was out for this ranking?
I sure hope it can sell enough to get another anime adaption in the future.

Seems like Japan forgives and forgets quite easily.

Shit is selling so well even after the Oreimo outrage.

Wow, so Youjo Senki sold more than 20k this week? Studio NUT really did it heh, they managed to success in the advertising for the novels, that's impressive.
That wasn't an easy series to market to anime watchers imo.
