It is quite interesting that certain Light Novel titles improve in their second week, something we rarely see happening in the Manga chart (with the exception of Kimetsu no Yaiba, that is a special case). For the week between October 12 to October 18, we can see that titles such as Zoku Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Magian Company, Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy and Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou have all recorded decent growth week-on-week. Though, the numbers are expected to drop in the next series.
It is thanks to the amazing folks 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 lots of love! The data you find below is accessible through Oricon here.
There are several new titles making the chart this time around, and Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka opens with great sales in its first week, 63,473 copies have been sold in Japan for the week. The novel editions of Kimetsu no Yaiba’s latest film are also in the chart featuring two different authors; the one penned by Aya Yajima sold slightly higher. Goblin Slayer is at number 5, note that this is a considerable overall improvement when compared to its volume 12, released back in February. At the time, the title managed a 12,534 copies sold in its first week. Therefore, the growth is very much welcomed. I shall keep you guys waiting no further, the full list is as follows:
