Oricon has released the Top 10 weekly light novel ranking accessible via their site here. It was a good week for Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei last week but, it could not do well enough to retain its number one spot after being edged out by Shougo Kinugasa and Shunsaku Tomose’s Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e (Classroom of the Elite). The novel was adapted into an Anime series in 2017 to quite a success. The Vol. 11.5 of the series did well enough to secure the number 1 spot selling close to 55,000 copies. A very good figure in fact. Coming close is Fuse’s Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken at number 2 while Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu settles in at number 3. While Makoto Shinkai’s Tenki no Ko continues to slip after weeks of strong sales. Below is the full list:
