Japan Top 11 Weekly Light Novel Ranking: September 27, 2021 ~ October 3, 2021

Isekai Nonbiri Nouka Volume 11 opens its first week on the chart with a great 15,220 copies sold, its second best since Volume 7, and note that Volume 7 went on sale a day longer when it was charted. If Volume 11 does the same, and adds another day of sale, it may see better copies sold than Volume 7. Copies sold were lower for Volume 10 amid a shorter number of days of sales accounted at the time, which was only 3 days. Volume 8 performed splendidly as well, bringing in 13,230 copies in its first 3 days. The title also has a Manga adaptation of the same name, which is currently ongoing and Chapter 1 can be read for free right here (in Japanese).

Following tightly behind at Number 2 is a title you may be familiar with, Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu Volume 17 which Anime had just recently concluded. Copies sold are quite good at 9,965 copies sold, however it does not seem that the Anime is having much of an impact as sales are in fact down from Volume 16’s 11,048 copies sold. Now, Volume 16 had a shorter span of sales of only 5 days when charted whereas Volume 17 went on a day longer. Sales may decline the following week, but we can expect its two-week sales to level. In addition to that, printed circulation for the series has now achieved 2 million copies according to the cover of the Light Novel!

Head over to Number 4 and you will find the 4th volume Risou no Himo Seikatsu at 9,726 copies sold. The title last made its appearance back in March 2020 with the 13th volume managing 12,260 copies sold at the time. Sales are lower for Volume 14 as only 4 days of sales are taken into account compared to Volume 13’s full 7-day of sales. According to the Light Novel cover, the series has amassed 2.7 million copies in printed circulation. It too has an ongoing Manga adaptation, and feel free to check out the 1st chapter available through Comic Walker right here (in Japanese).

Kenja no Mago Volume 15 places 5th at 6,441 copies sold. The title received an Anime adaptation back in 2019 by SILVER LINK. and its Manga adaptation is publishing via Young Ace UP magazine. You can check out its Manga through its official Japanese page right here. Sales do appear low for Volume 15, and that is due to a shorter days of sales of 4 days. Note that Volume 13 and Volume 14 had 5 days and 6 days respectively when they were charted. As a result of its fewer number of days of sales, average copies sold per day have risen for Volume 15 to 1,610 copies from Volume 14’s 1,380 copies sold.
