The Kimetsu no Yaiba duo performed exceptionally well again for the week between January 13 and January 19 for the weekly Light Novel ranking according to Oricon here. Besides, it is thanks to Oricon that we are able to see charts such as these every week, so please pay them a visit and shower them with love!
The week also saw Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei dropped a spot to number 3 while Fate/strange Fake and Strike the Blood retained their positions. Roku de Nashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Record (No. 6), Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan (No.7) and Tensei Youjo wa Akiramenai (No. 10) are some of the new titles breaching the top 10 for the week.
