Was it that hard to apologize?

I cannot comprehend how people are still confused about Japan's taste.

No I can understand I simply don't like it.

Hey, 2 Kirby LN have ranked in the charts ! Long life cutest game character ever :D

Also, I didn't know there was a SAO novel starring Yuuki 'n her band ... gotta read a translation if available soon.

I had a slight feeling of what would be number 1 though i'm glad to see that Alderamin managed to get a spot in the top 10.

Eh, I thought that GGO would get a much bigger boost after all the anime's hype.

Expected Konosuba would be ranked at least top 3, but the reality hits hard. I suppose ranked 18 is not bad at all

You know, this is weekly sales, and vol.14 Konosuba had released since July 1st.

And with this volume Alderamin is now over btw, series finishes with the 14th volume.
Haven't got my hand on that last volume yet (will probably order it in September together with the 16th volume of Honzuki), but it was a great series overall, so hoping for an end that won't disappoint me!

@Snow
'Tenseshimashite, Genzai wa Jijo de Gozaimasu' -> tensei shimashite

Ah I just love the cover for vol 26! Ishida's evolution as an artist is quite something, his art has made massive improvements since vol 1. Sales are right on par with how they normally are, which is great. This series has been going on for several years now and the sales and popularity has always remained consistent.

Onii-sama's as hot as ever.

>12.　*5,366　**5,366　Sword Art Online Alternative: Clover's Regret Vol.3
