*3.　15,815　*,*17,454　Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku Ex

Is this thanks to the anime? Or it has been popular all along for the LN sales? It don't see any other of its volume getting high boost like shogi loli though. Though I do know it's top 10 WN on Narou Syousetsu (ranked 5 to be exact)

The main series generally does a fair bit better than that, but bear in mind that this isn't part of the main series so you'd expect it to not do as well.
Also, this isn't a volume ranking because of the anime boost - it's a volume ranking because it only just came out. Unlike Ryuuou no Oshigoto

> *1.　19,924　*,*19,924　Hataraku Maou-sama! Vol.18
Season 2 when?

> *2.　18,020　*,*18,020　Strike the Blood Append Vol.1
Season 3 (2 cour) TV version when? Okay I won't mind an OVA again.
But please adapt Volumes 7 & 8 SilverLink Studio please!

iie senpai, i just did myself a favor and dropped that painful anime.

Blame the studio, they handled it badly.
They chose the not so good volumes to adapt.

16.　*3,695　*,107,038　Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Vol.13

Still going strong now... wow, I'm actually surprised by this. There's no sign of stopping KonoSuba unless Megumin is out or something, which is good.

*4.　14,281　*,*14,281　Youjo Senki Vol.9

Needs to sell more! Just finished this anime last week and Tanya is such a crazy girl and I like it. Can't wait for the movie sequel.

*9.　*5,153　*,*58,837　Ryuuou no Oshigoto! Vol.1

Need to start watching this too. All I've heard is that it's shogi, but with lolis... and they had me at lolis.

I will never understand why the author is nvr going to publish a s2 for Maou.

The first season sold well.
It boosted the ln quite well.
It only adapted the first 3 volumes.
At 18 surely he can provide another season.
Focusing on another 3 volumes at least.
I will never understand.

Oh well.

thanks for the information, I never thought that Grancrest Senki would be added in the top list, considering that the anime is 'flop'

Ryuuou getting that big anime boost.

Jan 18, 2018 10:18 AM by ichii_1

Seeing Devil is a Part Timer! up their makes me so happy! I just wish we could get another season T^T

Jan 18, 2018 9:25 AM by EngravedinDeath

Ryuuou no Oshigoto! - Good Game Well Played, probably gonna sell more due to its Legit Chess Gameplay and Real life references, moreover a fiction that inspired reality.

Murabito desu ga Nani ka? - oh, the cute story but a bit brutal too

Hataraku Maou-sama! - 2nd Season pls

Jan 18, 2018 8:42 AM by youseiki

Hataraku Maou-sama's sales still holding up really well but man just gives us another season.

Jan 18, 2018 8:28 AM by Paulo27

Still no season 2 for Devil is a Part Timer, such a shame. Glad it's still doing well.

Jan 18, 2018 8:04 AM by AntwanMantilla

Kagerou daze 💖
Anyone know when mekakucity reload will announce

Jan 18, 2018 7:48 AM by Dali14

GODDAMN WHY WE WILL NEVER GET HATARAKU MAOU SAMA SEASON 2
