Please note that from the looks of it, the rankings provided by KADOKAWA are limited to that of Japan only. The methodology is not provided, however, it is strongly suggested that these are based on the total sales the volumes have made throughout the week and are most likely inclusive of digital sales. The rankings are obtained from here (Manga) and here (Light Novel). You can only access the rankings when they are released for a set period, but you will not be able to do so once new lists are provided.
