Japan Top 10 Weekly Light Novel Ranking: November 16, 2020 ~ November 22, 2020

Kimetsu no Yaiba‘s dominance in the Light Novel’s Top 10 chart is still as apparent as ever, though sales have slowed down for most of its titles, with the exception of Kaze no Michishirube (No. 3) which experienced a small increase in number of copies sold for the week. The troupe is led by the Mirai Bunko Edition which traded place with the non-Mirai Bunko version for the first spot while the latter drop to number 2.

It is thanks to the wonderful people over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis so be sure to head over to their site here and show them some love! The data you find below is accessible here via Oricon.

There are a number of new titles featuring in the week’s chart with two of Haikyuu!! Shousetsu-ban!!‘s volumes making the list at number 5 and 7. At number 8 is the 8th volume of Izure Saikyou no Renkinjutsu Shi? Jujutsu Kaisen: Yuku Natsu to Kaeru Aki and Stand By Me Doraemon 2 occupy spots 9 and 10. The first made its debut back in 2019 and has not been on the chart for quite some time. The sudden rise may be due to its Anime. Stand By Me Doraemon 2 was released last October, but did not breach any of the charts prior to this. Anyways, full list is as follows:
