This is quite within expectation judging from its past performance that Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e: 2-nensei-hen would top the chart with its 5th volume. Presales made their way onto the chart the week before at 3,771 copies sold, along with sales between October 25 to October 31, copies sold have climbed 93.38% to see a total of 60,702 copies (including presales). However, this is not indicative of a good trend. Note that, Volume 2 and Volume 4 both had fewer days of sales when charted as opposed to Volume 5’s full week of sales. The two past volumes did better with sales passing 60,000 copies sold mark in just 4 days.
It is thanks to the wonderful 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! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Light Novel) and here (Bungei-sho). Note that, if you prefer Google charts, I have left the links to the charts all the way down below.
Coming in at 2nd place is Isekai Shokudou Volume 6 at 11,026 copies, a title you may be familiar with seeing it received an Anime adaptation back in 2017 by SILVER LINK. The series has so far not made onto the Top 10 chart since the site started tracking, but it did so with the Blu-ray sales chart. The Blu-ray Box set of its 1st Anime season was ranked 4th on Oricon’s Top 10 Blu-ray sales chart between September 20 to September 26 at 915 copies sold. The current broadcast of its 2nd season may have spurred demand for its Light Novel.
Madougushi Dahlia wa Utsumukanai: Kyou kara Jiyuu na Shokunin Life Volume 7 is another title you may want to pay attention to. It missed out on the chart for Volume 5, but managed to chart for Volume 4 and Volume 6, both sold 9,519 copies and 6,556 copies in 6 days and 2 days respectively. The 7th volume performs rather well at 10,782 copies, of course attributable to its longer days of sales. Nevertheless, sales look quite stable for the series.
Goodbye Sengen is a new work by Midori Mitsuki and arusechika. It places 5th at 7,424 copies sold in its first week. Things however is not looking so good for Number 6’s Seiken Gakuin no Makentsukai Volume 8 as the amount of copies sold is clearly poorer than Volume 4 and Volume 6, both of which had 7 days of sales when charted. The title also has its Manga adaptation which is publishing and an Anime adaptation was announced though its broadcasting date is still unknown. You can check out the announcement right down below.
Isekai Cheat Magician‘s 5th volume is 8th at 5,053 copies sold in its first 3 days. Plus, according to the cover of its Light Novel, its series printed circulation has now passed 3.2 million copies. Note that it was animated back in 2019 by Encourage Films, and a Manga adaptation is ongoing. Finally, SHUFUNOTOMO’s Youheidan no Ryouriban Volume 13 is 10th at 4,465 copies in just 3 days. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
