Topping the chart for the week is the latest addition to the Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. family. The Ketsu or “conclusion” Volume 1 sees a great turnout of 23,817 copies sold for the week! Note that these are sales made within three days. It will most likely still rank on the following week’s chart, though a climb in sales is unlikely.
It is thanks to the awesome people 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! All of the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Light Novel), here (Bunko) and here (Bungei-sho).
Following closely at 2nd place is Ryuuou no Oshigoto! Volume 15. The title does well enough to see two of its editions placed on the chart with the Regular Edition leading at 13,065 copies sold. The Special Edition can be found two spots below at Number 4 with 9,554 copies sold. Together, it sees 22,619 copies sold in total. This is still fewer than Volume 12’s in its first week. Sales at the time were at a high 30,008 copies sold. Volume 13 and Volume 14 could not produce sales that match Volume 12’s performance as they received strong competition at the time of their releases, in particular with Kimetsu no Yaiba titles. The title received an Anime adaptation back in 2018 by Project No. 9, but no news of a sequel as of yet.

Goblin Slayer newest volume places 3rd for the week recording better debut-to-debut sales from Volume 14’s 8,365 copies sold. Sales are up by 27.44% to 11,528 copies for Volume 15, but is still lower than Volume 13’s 17,050 copies sold. The title also has an ongoing Manga adaptation, plus several spin-offs including: Goblin Slayer Gaiden: Year One, Goblin Slayer: Brand New Day and Goblin Slayer Gaiden 2: Tsubanari no Daikatana. After a 12-episode, one season and a follow up film, the Anime is set to receive a sequel to commence on an unannounced date.

It currently has a Manga adaptation out through Kadokawa’s Flos Comic and several of its chapters can be previewed through Comic Walker right here (in Japanese), so do check it out! Similarly, Tensei Youjo wa Akiramenai Volume 6 which follows after also has a Manga adaptation via Mag Garden’s MAGCOMI. The first chapter is up for free (in Japanese), for those of you interested you can find it right here.
At Number 8 is Spy Kyoushitsu Volume 6 at 4,905 copies sold. Sales started off poorly for its 1st and 2nd volumes, but it started to gain recognition in its local market for Volume 3 which on its release week saw 5,678 copies sold. Volume 4 however, failed to clinch a spot on Oricon’s Top 10 chart, however it returned with a strong 8,424 copies sold for its 5th volume. While Volume 6 does have a much lower copies sold compared to Volume 5’s in its first week, that is because only two days of sales were taken into account.
