Days of Sales: 3
Price: 700 yen
Publisher: KADOKAWA

Analysis
Spy Kyoushitsu has noted an improvement in sales with the release of its 9th volume, very likely a result of the Anime adaptation that is currently being broadcasted this season as of the time of writing. There are no direct 3-day comparison with its past volumes, however, the 7,609 copies sold made by Volume 9 is certainly higher than Volume 6’s 4,905 copies sold in 2 days and may have even still outpaced Volume 7’s 5,543 copies in its first 2 days as well seeing the two past volumes have nearly identical average per day sales with Volume 9 (note that the longer the days, the lower the average tends to be). The performance of the latest volume is also positive when compared to the 5-day sales of Volume 8’s 8,964 copies sold in its first 5 days back in July 2022, and it may have sold more than Volume 5’s 8,424 copies in its first 4 days had it gone on a day longer.
Additional Comments

The title is being adapted into a 12-episode TV Anime series by studio feel. that is currently being aired this season as of the time of writing.
