Japan Top 10 Weekly Light Novel Ranking: August 31, 2020 ~ September 6, 2020

Sales of Kimetsu no Yaiba’s Light Novels that made into the chart for the week between August 31 to September 6 showed slight recovery with Shiawase no Hana climbing the most. However, not all of the known Kimetsu no Yaiba titles are up here. Tanjirou to Nezuko, Unmei no Hajimari Hen did not make the cut for the week.

Remember! It is thanks to the wonderful guys over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love. The week’s data can be found here.

The week saw the latest Light Novel by Anri Takahashi for Boku no Hero Academia taking the crown, with 18,592 copies sold that week. 2nd place is Kokuhaku Yokou Renshuu while Seirei Gensouki settles for 3rd.
