Japan Top 10 Weekly Light Novel Ranking: October 5, 2020 ~ October 11, 2020

There is no beating Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, isn’t it? It was only recently that the latest volume of the main Light Novel was released, and sales were great. In total, the title sold 97,400 copies in just three weeks. But author, Tsutomu Satou is showing no signs of stopping with yet another release of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei in the form of a side story. The new release tops the week’s chart, while it is not selling as well as the main Light Novel, the numbers are certainly encouraging.

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 much, much love! The data you find below is accessible via Oricon here.

You will also find two other new titles making the chart for the week between October 5 to October 11 with Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy at number 3 and Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou at number 5. Apart from that, Kimetsu no Yaiba titles are making a comeback, most likely due to the upcoming film. The full list is as follows:
