Japan Top 12 Weekly Light Novel Sales Ranking: April 24 – April 30, 2023

The sales performance of “Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi” is quite irregular due to the varying release dates of its volumes. When comparing Volume 14 to Volume 10, both during their first six days of release, the latest volume has sold 5.97% more copies. However, if we were to include pre-release sales figures, Volume 14’s 24,079 copies sold is actually 8.33% less than Volume 14’s 26,268 copies. The sales performance of Volume 14 is also not as impressive as that of Volume 9 and Volume 11, which sold 25,301 and 23,176 copies respectively (including pre-release figures). Both of these volumes managed to officially chart in their first three and four days, respectively, which is a shorter time period compared to Volume 14.

The volume is titled “Cream Croquette​ x Jakyou no Shuuen”.

The series was adapted into a Manga series by artist Akagishi K which is serialized in the Comic Gardo magazine. More information about it can be found on its official website right here while some of its Manga chapters can be read for free in Japanese right here. Studio MAPPA will adapted the work into a TV Anime series, that aired from January 11, 2023 to March 29, 2023.

When compared to other volumes with three days of sales, “Isekai Nonbiri Nouka” Volume 15 has sold 2.82% fewer copies than Volume 8, which sold 13,230 copies. However, it has outsold Volume 10’s 9,937 copies by 29.39%. The latest volume’s performance is also better than Volume 6, which sold 11,371 copies in its first seven days. If Volume 15 had been available here for four more days, it would have certainly surpassed the 12,881 copies sold by Volume 9 in its first seven days. Overall, it appears that the Anime adaptation may have revitalized the demand for the series, but more observation is needed before a definitive conclusion can be drawn.

In October 2017, the title was adapted into a Manga series by artist Yasuyuki Tsurugi that is serialized in ComicWalker with some of its chapters available in Japanese for free right here. The title was adapted into a TV Anime series by studio Zero-G that was broadcast from January 6 to March 24, 2023.

Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine has sold 44,266 copies in its first 17 days.

There are no direct comparisons for Gimai Seikatsu Volume 8, which sold 7,437 copies in its first six days. The latest volume has certainly surpassed the sales of Volume 1, which sold 7,327 copies in its first seven days, however, it would have faced challenges in matching the sales of Volume 5, which sold 9,367 copies in its first seven days. Furthermore, when compared to the 4-day and 5-day sales of Volume 2 and Volume 3, the latest volume’s performance is less impressive, as Volume 2 sold 7,529 copies and Volume 3 sold 8,370 copies.

“Kenja no Isekai Seikatsu Nikki” Volume 18 shows potentially the worst performance in the series so far, as it has sold fewer copies compared to its previous volumes since Volume 10. The sales of Volume 18 in its first six days are nowhere near the sales of Volume 11, which sold 13,418 copies in five days. It only shows a minor improvement compared to the three-day sales of Volume 13 (6,643 copies) and Volume 16 (6,405 copies).

TAMAYA has experienced a decline in sales of 20.39% compared to Elite, which sold 8,189 copies in their first six days. If the latest volume had been available for sale for one more day, it may have been able to sell a similar number of copies as Goodbye Sengen, which sold 7,424 copies in the first seven days.

The volume sold 5,130 copies, which is lower than the four-day sales of Volume 5 and Volume 7, which sold 8,363 copies and 7,647 copies respectively. Additionally, it falls short of the six-day sales of Volume 6, which sold 9,178 copies. If Volume 8 had been available for sale here for four days, it would likely have sold around 6,000 copies and close to 8,000 copies in six days.
