I'm not sure what you mean. The volume has been out for almost more than a month now. It will naturally go down after some time. All LN do this.

Don't really understand why Konosuba is #1 but I guess it just wasn't my thing. Glad Re:Zero isn't in top ten, I did not get the hype for it at all.
Nice to see Rokudenashi doing well despite what I expected.
Didn't know Isekai Shihai no Skill Taker existed until now so I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks errbody. :3

Re:Zero should be on number 1
Damn you Japan.
Konosuba is trash in comparison to Re:Zero

Good Kono Subarashii first.
May 11, 2017 3:10 AM by Swagernator
kinda sad to see SaeKano so low on the series ranking. Yeah I know s2's don't usually result in as much as s1's do but still, expected it to sell a bit more over all the vols with maybe a couple guys picking it up from scratch.
KonoSuba not surprising at all considering that last week wasn't even a week for konosuba

Slow week so lots of things on the rankings without any releases. Anime boosts, mega-hits that burn through a few thousand sales every week, and TenSura pretending to have an anime boost when it doesn't.

So like Re:Zero, Knonsuba dominated the chart for two weeks straight! lol
Managed to sell bit more in the same period thanks to the anime boost it got from S2 tho. I'm really curious how S2 of Re:Zero will hold against it when happens.
Akashic Records and Eromanga look to be LN favs saleswise this season.

Wait, Haikyuu has a light novel?!
May 10, 2017 7:18 PM by SkyFullOfStars
Nice to see Konosuba on top. Akashic records also got a pretty nice boost, the anime has been pretty decent so far so it's nice to see that it's yielding good results.
May 10, 2017 5:01 PM by thebrentinator24
70k in 2 weeks for Konosuba, thats good. RokuAka best LN adaptation this spring, no surprise
May 10, 2017 4:37 PM by WashingMachine45
The Rokudenashi LN got a pretty nice boost with the anime. I might give it a try too.
