We all know by know – sort of – that every week is always a good week for Kimetsu no Yaiba. For the week between June 29 to July 5, clearly is special for the series as a whole. After making a huge splash on the Manga sales chart, the title decided not to stop just there, but was determined to have the success pour over onto the Light Novel sales chart as well. The previous week, the chart was greeted by a new novel from the series which debuted at 2nd. On July 3, 2020, another new novel was added to the family by the same author who wrote Shiawase no Hana and Katabane no Chou. The newest addition, Kaze no Michishirube sold huge in Japan. It debuted at 230,000 copies, while the rest of the novels rallied along, seeing sales improving week-on-week.
Remember! It is thanks to the awesome folks over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over here and show them some love!
According to Oricon’s latest Light Novel sales chart, available here, there are three other new volumes making into the chart for the period between June 29 to July 5 other than Kaze no Michishirube. They include Last Embryo (No. 8), Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita (No. 9) and Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? (No. 10).
