Nippon knows what's coming, they are preparing themselves.

Season 4 right

Lets hope not the last one

Nice to see that DAL love, after many years I finally started with the LNs and currently enjoying them alot, despite some english sentences that dont make any sense... I hope translation improves later on.

Rezero will start the anime really soon, hype!

I am so happy about Log Horizon vol 11. I wonder if the author picked up the series again.

Uh, he never stopped. The web novel is already written up to the middle of volume 14. The legal trouble a while back just prevented them from being published until now.

oh wow then that's really really cool. I am looking forward for the english realeases so I can get them.

I just hope that DXD volume 25 did good enough to get more anime seasons beyond 2018 season 4

Mar 30, 2018 5:25 PM by GoldenCrimson20

RokuAka, Smartphone, and Asterisk finally outsell SAO in a weekly chart. The anime community will be proud.

Mar 30, 2018 8:31 AM by removed-user

Even though I dislike the harem genre, I think all the female characters in Isekai Smartphone are all quite shallow and uninteresting if compared to female characters in other harem shows like Seirei Tsukai, Saijaku Muhai, Campione, High School DxD etc.....

Smartphone's MC and female cast are all quite bland compared to those 4 other harem shows I listed as examples above.....

Mar 30, 2018 5:14 AM by CoolitzHubertXVI

For the people talking about DAL being over Re:Zero.
DAL volume got released on the March 20
while Re:Zero volumes got released on March 24

so DAL had 4 day start ahead of Re:Zero. while i love both series. Re:Zero's popularity is bigger than DAL at the moment so it being under DAL would be suprising if it didn't have less time to sell.

Mar 30, 2018 5:09 AM by derpinat0rz

Wow, I didn't expect to see DAL beating out Re:Zero, though that probably changed next week, but still amazing to see it!

Mar 30, 2018 4:53 AM by DarklordVor

Glad that Re:Zero is doing well.

Didn't expect something like DAL to outsell DxD or Re:Zero tbh.

DAL has been outselling DxD in weekly sales for years. In fact, DAL is the publisher's best-selling LN, beating even DxD and Saekano.

The sales for Re:Zero and other MF Bunko J titles are only from 2 days.

Mar 30, 2018 2:02 AM by AP24

No spoiler for DAL here, but surely Date A Live can't have Harem-tag anymore because of the girl in cover.

Mar 30, 2018 1:54 AM by GinDIce

No surprise here, glad to see a lot of the titles that are in the top rankings.

DxD already has 25 fking volumes out, meanwhile the anime is only about to cover 9 & 10. Most anime watchers (myself included) are so damn behind

I know. I hope many more seasons are adapted.

Let support the light novel and animes.
