Surprised to see Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu on the list, but very pleased. The anime was a lot of fun and nice to see the LN doing well.

Every volume from 7 onwards has ranked on release.

Oh thats really a nice sight any idea perhaps what the predictions for bd-dvd sales are saying at this moment?

Unless I'm missing something (it's been a while since I last used stalker so this is possible), not very good at all. This looks like a series that is getting far more from its boost to the source material than from the anime discs.

Consistent? It's more like the boost boosted this week. The increase this week is like 5-7k compared to around 5k last weeks.

Yep, wincest is what sell the best in nippon. Right after edgy MCs.

In this sense Mahouka 2 in 1: D Not surprisingly, it has consistently good sales despite the controversial attitude in the West.
