However, when compared to Volume 6, copies sold for its latest volume are weaker as the previous volume had charted with a slightly higher average sales per day (note that the average tends to be lower the longer it goes).

Analysis

The series appearance on the Manga sales charts have been rather sporadic, being last seen for Volume 8 recently at 22,954 copies in its first 7 days. Prior to that, it made the breach into Oricon’s Top 30 with Volume 4 back in August 2020 at 24,355 copies sold in its first 6 days. As such, the 34,343 copies it sold for Volume 9 is a welcoming upgrade for the series. With the Anime being aired this season (as of the time of writing) we may see further boost in sales of its Manga’s physical copies.

Additional Comments

Studio Nexus is adapting the work into a 20-episode TV Anime series. The first episode was aired on October 5, 2022.

Analysis

The series last made its Manga appearance back in February 2022 for its 10th volume at 37,342 copies sold in its first 6 days. Therefore, the performance of its 11th volume is not as good as its previous, at least in its debut week. The title, however, has made more consistent appearances for its Light Novels, being ranked continuously for the debut sales of Volumes 15 to 18.

Additional Comments

Studio C2C adapted the work into a 12-episode TV Anime series that aired between July and September of 2021. A sequel to the Anime series is in the works, though its actual date of broadcast is still unknown. It is unsure whether C2C will be returning to adapt the second season.
