Thank God Mahouka is at no 1 it's been so long since I've seen it at that place.

Also, strike the blood at no 2 I couldn't be any happier.

Mahouka is continuously topping the rankings and yet there is no news of second season.

May the Wrath of god fall on those who defy Onii-Sama !!!!

I knew volume 25 was going to sell well, but over 100k in 5 days? Nice! And volume 24 is still hanging around in the top 10 as well. Love seeing this mahouka domination, also glad to see Rakudai and Re:Zero doing well still.

Apr 19, 2018 7:00 AM by -Mahesvara

Go Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry! Though I'm a little surprised to see Heavy Object ranked so high but it isn't like I'm really complaining.

103,000 + copies and it still has not gotten a second season. I really hope it gets one cause I need more Miyuki in my life.

Well, they still have the opportunity, since the film introduces Lina and in fact is a prologue to the second year. I hope that the second season will be announced within the framework of the present jubilee of Dengeki Bunko.

Looks like overpowered MC's and brocon/wincest main characters triumph once again in Japan.

Sounds good, but pretty doubtful. Now, sports, idols, isekai, adaptation of mobage and other yuri of different levels of thickness in the trends.

I couldn't care less about the list here.. nothing new... But..
