Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes makes another impressive entrance on the Light Novel chart, this time with the 18th volume, improving by a small 1.96% over Volume 17’s 11,485 copies back in August last year. The title also made another appearance with the origin volume which was released on March the 10th to see 11,485 copies sold in the span of 4 days. In Summer 2018, the series received a 12-episode Anime TV series adaptation by studio Seven and a Manga serialization is currently ongoing through the Monthly Action magazine. The preview of the 1st volume of the Manga can be accessed here for free in Japanese.

Then the novelization of the recently released Detective Conan Movie: Halloween no Hanayome is featured 2nd on the list at 13,710 copies sold in the first 3 days, not as good as Hiiro no Dangan back in April of last year. That volume sold 17,839 copies, 23.15% more in its first 3 days. If you missed out on the film, you could check out its trailer down below!
Ryuuou no Oshigoto! is next with its 16th volume at 10,458 copies sold in the first 4 days. The title has so far made regular appearances on the Light Novel sales charts, but the number of copies sold does not really indicate its worst performance to date. Indeed, the sales of its latest volume are down by 38.10% from Volume 13’s 22,513 copies sold back in August 2020, however the Limited Edition copies have sold more in terms of revenue considering its 4,500 yen (≈35 USD) price tag. Note that Volume 13 did not come with a Limited Edition. The title received an Anime adaptation back in 2018 by studio Project No. 9, and a Manga adaptation which ran for 10 volumes, ending its serialization in September 2019. According to its Volume 16’s cover page, its series’ printed circulation has now reached 2 million copies.
