Glad it's doing OK, still haven't read vol 18, I'm waiting for some vols to accumulate so I can binge read them.

It's gonna take forever for this spin-off to get translated tho lol

What's the Shiba Tatsuya spinoff?

#1-Characters are stale as hell.
#2-Way too much nonsensical talking about nonsensical magic system etc...borefest.
#3-Characters pull out their tricks, tactics out of their ass.
#4-Vol-25...26?! what is he even writing there...seems more like milking a dried-out cow.

im surprised you made it so far if the charas and magic system bore you o.o

Mahouka is really such a chore to read, even though I've enjoyed reading LNs like Index, Youjo Senki and Horizon.

I think a random post I've found from Internet perfectly illustrated what I see when I'm reading Mahouka.

86 volume 9? should be volume 5 right?

What he said, that should be volume 5, both in the main list and the bunko list.

Just give us Mahouka S2, Miki!

Toaru, Goblin, and Bunny Girls. Nice.

22.　*4,125　*87,733　Goblin Slayer Vol.1

Great. I hope it sells a lot more.

Oct 19, 2018 1:27 PM by SSTHZero

Well the top 10 has changed a lot within a week (though hey Goblin Slayer & 86 are in the top 10).

Oct 19, 2018 12:38 PM by fullmetalmasify

I never understood the hype for Mahouka but I wonder how with this popularity it never got a s2

Oct 19, 2018 11:10 AM by Danae

Ah the Mahouka spinoff seems to be doing well.

Congintive said:
*1.　53,917　*53,917　Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Shiba Tatsuya Ansatsu Keikaku Vol.1

Its a side story where a muggle female assassin(the one on the cover) is trying to assassinate Tatsuya.

OT: Nice to see the list this week, a lot of good titles here.

@Snow

You forgot to put back those four in the main list :

*6.　22,188　123,085　Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou Vol.8
*7.　13,728　*14,757　Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu Vol.3
21.　*9,001　*11,626　Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen Gaiden
27.　*7,299　**9,549　Saikyou no Kanteishi tte Dare no Koto? Vol.5

They should logically be respectively 3rd , 6th, 8th and 12th in the main list
