The Japanese weekly Light Novel ranking for the week between January 6 and January 12 is finally available via Oricon here. The weekly ranking is made possible thanks to the folks at Oricon, so please pay them a visit!
The week saw Kimetsu no Yaiba Katabane no Chou maintaining its number 1 spot however, Shiawase no Hana dropped a spot to number 3 to make way for Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei which occupies the number 2 spot for the week. The list also saw a couple of new additions joining the ranks which include Fate/strange Fake (No. 4), Strike the Blood (No. 5) and Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear (No. 10).
On a side note, due to low vote count, we are still running the poll for best Summer Anime of 2019 here. So, please vote if you have the time! Apart from that, we currently have the best Fall Anime of 2019 poll up on the right side of the front page or you can go to the post directly here. We would greatly appreciate if you could tell us your pick!
