Honzuki no Gekokujou storms the chart with the latest volume sitting at the top of the list with 22,608 copies sold. The volume entails the 6th addition to the Megami no Kenshin arc released on the 10th of August. The Light Novel received two Anime seasons in 2019 by Ajia-Do, and a sequel the year after. Season 3 is planned for a spring release in 2022 (Source: ANN). Don’t forget to check out the official announcement via its official site right here. You can find the official English publication up to Part 3, and Manga adaptation of the same name that is publishing.
Honzuki no Gekokujou Anime Season 3 Announced!
It is thanks to the amazing people 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! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Book), here (Bunko), here (Bungei-sho) and here (Light Novel).
Several other new releases that are on the list include Bonkura Onmyouji no Oniyome Volume 7 at Number 8 with 6,316 copies sold for the week. The title has a Manga adaptation of the same name publishing through Machine Factory’s Gene Line magazine. You can check out a sneak peak of the Manga available right here (in Japanese). Jump over to Number 11 is Afumi no Umi: Minamo ga Yureru Toki Volume 11 at 5,010 copies sold. Like Bonkura Onmyouji no Oniyome, it too has a Manga adaptation. Of course, not to be missed is the Light Novel adaptation of Mairimashita! Iruma-kun making its debut at Number 14 with 4,025 copies sold for the week.
The week’s list is rather promising for several past titles such as Itai no wa Iya nanode Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. Volume 12 (No. 4) and Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku Extra Volume 2 (No. 5). Note that the two titles were featured on the previous chart, however the sales made at the time were before their launch dates. As such, the two have recorded an increase week-on-week. Others that have climbed are Ryuu to Sobakasu no Hime at Number 3 at 9,917 copies sold, a 2.79% jump from the week before, Boku no Hero Academia the Movie 3: World Heroes’ Mission (no. 7), Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou Volume 10 (No. 9) and Ryuu to Sobakasu no Hime (with illustration at Number 12) have all improved from their lasts.

Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
