Overlord's going to have some competition with SAO Progressive & 86 next week.

With SAO Progressive yes but 86 is still really far in sales (86 is going to sell 15-25k and SAO more than 100k next week). Hopefully, sales will skyrocket when the really likely anime adaptation comes out

But yeah, next week will be strong. SAO Progressive, 86, Danmachi Sword Oratoria and Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut. A lot better than this one for sure.
