Considering the fact that the series barely focuses on romance, I doubt a female character is responsible for these sales. It's probably popular for the same reason as Oregairu (which was popular for its narcissistic and edgy protagonist).

There is a tag of Romance but there isnt now something that we can call Romance

This happens all the time unfortunately. For a recent example Re:Zero was seen as a harem because there was a couple girls in the show by some people despite the romance only ever being centered around 3 characters. It seems nowadays people care less about labeling something correctly then feeding their confirmation bias.

I have no clue why the series has a romance or a comedy tag.

Bleach sales are decent I guess, we all wanted the manga more :(

Eromanga Sensei still getting boost, though it probably won't appear in series ranking anymore soon.

Classroom of the elite boost still going O_O

Nice to see KonoSuba at the top

Aug 11, 2017 6:21 AM by Detective1412

I'm happy to see best volume of Konosuba at the top.

as someone who had set an eye for classroom for the elites from the first release of the manga, i'm glad my hunch was right that the series gonna be good (even though it based on light novel). but thanks to the oregairu-like line up that bait me to think the story is something like oregairu while the truth is that it was never that alike.

Youkoso's insane boost still going. O.O

I'd appreciate it if someone could tell what the NieR novel is about?
