Light Novel Weekly Top 13

Analysis
When we compare to Volume 3, which was also at 9 days of sales, Volume 9 has sold 11.73% fewer copies. That said, the outcome would have still been stronger if Volume 9 had gone a day longer than Volumes 4.5 and 7, which sold 67,168 copies and 69,049 copies, respectively, in their first 10 days.
