Light Novel sales chart for the week between June 7 to June 13 is led by Sword Art Online: Progressive‘s Volume 8 at 36,218 copies sold, down debut-to-debut from Volume 7’s 45,451 copies. Although the latest volume could not match up to sales of its previous volume, we can expect it to stay on the chart longer, therefore there is a chance for it to see sales recovering the following week. Note that Volume 7 was on Oricon’s chart for four weeks back in March putting its total sales during the period at 79,017 copies. The Light Novel is also set to receive a theatrical adaptation slated to come out this year on an unannounced date. Do check out the trailer below:

The week’s chart is filled with new releases including Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy‘s Volume 8 which trails Sword Art Online: Progressive‘s Volume 8 at number 2. Selling 12,807 copies for the week, the title marks an improvement over the sales of its 7th volume in its first week, and is its second best debut sales among its latest seven volumes.

Coming in at number 3 is also another title that is having its Anime broadcasted at the moment. 86’s 10th volume debuts at 10,950 copies sold, a slight improvement over Volume 9’s 10,594 copies. Volume 8 saw its lowest opening sales at 5,765 copies, however sales recovered on Week 2 to see the number of copies sold that week reach 8,424 copies. As such its two-week sales for Volume 8 stood at 14,189 copies. This is still less than the debut sales recorded by Volume 7 which had 14,841 copies sold in its first week. The title’s Anime adaptation will receive a sequel on an unannounced date, though information about it is still scarce.
