Oricon has released the weekly top 10 Light Novel ranking for the 3rd week of September via their website available here. This week’s ranking is a little lackluster despite Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei retaining its number 1 spot. This is in contrast to last week’s sale where the series sold 67,126 copies while for the 3rd week, it manages to sell only a quarter of that figure. Makato Shinkai’s Tenki no Ko is still doing well going into the month of September and the list welcomes a few new additions into its list. The full top 10 list is as follow:
