Japan Top 10 Weekly Light Novel Ranking: August 10, 2020 ~ August 16, 2020

A pretty slow week for Light Novels according to Oricon’s latest sales chart available here as no new titles made into the list between August 10 to August 16. Sales of Kimetsu no Yaiba’s are up for all of its titles except for Kaze no Michishirube, which dropped slightly more than 1% bringing its weekly sales to 19,014 copies for the week.

It is thanks to Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so do pay the awesome folks over at Oricon here a visit and show them lots of love!

Haikyuu!! Shousetsu-ban!! which was at the top spot the previous week is nowhere to be seen while titles that made into the chart the week before are still present in the list.
