The two Kimetsu no Yaiba novels are as relentless as ever as they continue to hold on to the top spots for weeks. This time, for the period between February 17 and February 23, the series’ novels maintain their holdings on the the top 2 spots seeing minor increase in sales with Shiawase no Hana’s sale climbing 5.81% to 28,723 copies and Katabane no Chou rising 6.88% to 28,052 copies sold nationwide Japan. Together, they have sold a total of 56,775 copies.
The sales data below is thanks to Oricon. If it was not for them we may not be able to access to all these charts for free, so please pay them a visit here for the latest Light Novel sales ranking.
The two Yaiba’s novels are closely followed by Youjo Senki’s volume 12 which debuted the week with 15,031 copies sold. A slew of new titles have also made their presence in the list with Shin High School DxD (No. 4), Imouto sae Ireba Ii. (No. 6), Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko (No. 8) and Kyokaisenjo no Horizon NEXT BOX GENESIS Series Josho Hen (No. 10). They have all been oddly placed at even number. Most likely a coincidence.
Sadly, sales of Ryuo no Oshigoto!, Goblin Slayer and Seishun Butayaro wa Mayoeru Singer no Yume wo Minai have seen a decline compare to the week before. Seishun Butayaro wa Mayoeru Singer no Yume wo Minai risks exiting the list for the following week if sales do not improve. For the full list, it is as follows:
