Light Novel sales chart looks quite bearish amid the lack of new releases for the week between October 11 to October 17. Madoushi wa Heibon wo Nozomu Volume 28 leads new titles on the chart at Number 3 at 4,234 copies sold. Sales are slightly better than Volume 27’s performance back in May 2021, but that is due to it selling a day longer on the week’s chart. The title does have a Manga adaptation which could not last as well published through Arian Rose comic. It also received official English releases available through Renta! of which you can access right here, so do check it out!

For the latter title, according to its Light Novel’s cover page, it is announced to receive a Manga adaptation, though on an unannounced date.
