Maybe they're better than their manga counterparts? That or Japan is just back at it again.

A novel which is written to be a novel (as opposed to novelisations) will always be (far) better than a manga adaptation of said novel. That should go without saying.

I've never read a Japanese novel so I wouldn't know.

Slime manga really do a justice as an adaptation from Novel . Totally deserved it on the top.

Arifureta/Death March sales are very high, if they have a big anime boost they could get at Konosuba/ReZero sales level. And Isekai Smartphone is selling twice as much as before the adaptation.

Looks like Takagi-san's sales went up because of the anime adaptation.

Sales are only from 4-25 December, so no anime boost for now.

I am so glad that Daiya has been constantly charting for Act 2 every time a new volume is released. This is what happens when the focus is on Eijun though I'm not particularly enjoying the current arc, hoping it gets resolved soon.

Also, that SNK volume is really good too so very much deserved. <3
