People who are saying: "Gosh! Why is my favorite manga/novel being sold so poorly?" Consider the fact that some manga/novels don't issue each months, so in the month of its issue sells are much higher. For example attack on Titan issues once every 3-4 month

Uhm... why spice and wolf vol 1 sales that much? Is there some special event?

I think that should be Vol 19, not Vol 1.

Yes, it should be volume 19, not 1.

Glad to see Arslan Senki doing well still. This week's chart also reminds me to watch the Orange movie...

10.　142,941　Orange Vol.6

Really surprised to see Orange publishing another volume, nearly 2 years after it ended. I'm happy that it sold nicely. I guess this will really be the last volume of the series.

I haven't seen it but my guess is: Light novel anime adaptations are meant to boost hte original source and it did boost it. S2 won't come m8 unless the LN is going to sell terrible

Jun 14, 2017 5:28 PM by Takamura-sama

Shingeki no kyoujin a bit low..

*1.　104,528　Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Vol.12

I actually expected the spinoff to be on this list...

RAILGUN S3 WHERE?

Eromanga doesn't got a massive boost.. too bad u lolicons.
