These are the latest AlphaPolis’ printed circulation numbers! Note that the number of printed circulation are taken from their latest and respective volumes with the exception of one title which is Reijou wa Mattari wo Goshomou. The Light Novel’s printed circulation can be found via AlphaPolis’ Quarter 1 Presentation Materials for the Fiscal Year 2022. I may not be cognisant of some of the latest figures, if I missed them out, do let me know and I shall issue a correction. All the printed circulation data is inclusive of digital copies.
There are a couple of titles to note on the list such as Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu which is one of the longest running titles on the list with the 1st volume releasing way back in May 2013. The Light Novel volumes have been doing rather well lately with the 15th volume selling 8,028 copies in 3 days, Volume 16 at 11,048 copies within 5 days and 9,965 copies sold for Volume 17 in its first 6 days. The 1st volume of the Manga adaptation of the title was released three years later and is published via AlphaPolis’ magazine of which the first three chapters are available here for free in Japanese. It then received an Anime adaptation by studio C2C starting from July 2021, and the broadcast ended three months later on September 22. It is slated for a follow up season, though its broadcasting date is still unannounced. Be sure to check out its announcement down below!
Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki is another title you may want to pay attention to seeing it has been making frequent appearances on the Light Novel sales charts. Total printed circulation is at 1,350,000 copies. The title last made its appearance quite recently with the sales of its 24th volume selling 7,512 copies in 10 days. While Volumes 22 and 23 missed out on the charts, Volumes 19, 20 and 21 were all ranked back in August 2019, November 2019, and June 2020 respectively. It too has a Manga adaptation of the same name which is also accessible via AlphaPolis’ magazine right here in Japanese, however no signs of an Anime adaptation as of yet.
Isekai Yururi Kikou has a more consistent performance with four past appearances since March 2020. Volume 8 saw 10,043 copies sold in its 2nd week of the chart after missing out the week before, and then Volume 9 made quite the impressive feat, selling 11,005 copies in 3 days before dropping down to 5,205 copies on the chart the week after. Volume 10 was at 11,620 copies in its first 4 days while Volume 11 was at 10,412 in 3 days. Its Manga adaptation broke the Top 30 sales chart when it climbed to Number 29, but at quite a low 15,487 copies in its first full week.
Souzai Saishuka no Isekai Ryokouki last made its appearance between September 20 to September 26 with 5,008 copies sold in its first 3 days for Volume 10. Izure Saikyou no Renkinjutsushi which is circulating at 510,000 copies was charted for its Volume 6 at 7,550 copies between October 21 to October 27, 2019 and 8,889 copies between March 23 to March 29. It does have its Manga adaptation published via AlphaPolis which some of its chapters can be read here for free in Japanese, so do give it a try!

Quite interestingly, the latest Bunko volume for Gate Season 2 mentions that its total circulation has now passed 6.1 million copies. If you noticed, its latest Manga noted 6 million copies worth of circulation, and that was back when it was released on June 24, 2021. As such, between the release of the Manga’s 19th volume and the Bunko’s Volume 3 Part 2, the circulation for the title has increased by 100,000 copies.
