SAO, expected that, but Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou.... Interesting, I may need to read this considering how good the sales are. Now if only there was an english translation somewhere. |

Really looking forward to the SAO season 2 announcement. I'm also surprised Sakurasou made it on the list. I'm loving the anime but I never saw the light novels rank. Probably SAO's fault. |

Waiting for Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (5) anime adaption! Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou (2), probably needs a bit more material before an anime adaption. Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki was also a great movie, hope everyone can watch it when the BD comes out. Kind of surprise that Ben-To is not anywhere on the list. I actually thought that it is/was a popular series. |

I'm surprised haruhi with the no appearance of haruhi on the list. It's true that no new volume came out but it normally make it in the totals series list. Oh well. Biblia doing almost 1 million volume is amazing. |

Glad to see PapaKiki, Nobuna and especially HnA selling well, didn't really expect them to - unlike with Haganai for example. Biblia is really selling astonishingly well, kinda weird that we got so little info on it. I mean, the synopsis reads somewhat interesting, but how the hell can it sell that good? |

Most of novels listed already got its anime adaptation i'm interested in Biblia, hope it get anime adaptation, because I'm too lazy to read it XD |

Now if only there was an english translation somewhere. Biblia is supposedly outstanding, I haven't read it yet, but I know people who have. It is sort of a Literary Mystery series (books are key to solving the mystery), so people not familiar with Japanese literature will probably have a hard time making sense of it. |

Another, Hyouka , Aria, Kokoro Connect, SAO and AW. While these titles did not do well as an anime adaptation for me, I'm more than glad they sold well as LNs. It really shows that some stories are told better in words. Biblia and Rettousei requires attention and detail for a good anime adaptation to work. Not surprised they haven't got a green-lit. I hope it doesn't end as a mediocre adaptation like the titles above. |

Why Monogatari isn't in the 1st list? 265,953 + 208,078 = 474,031. That's 11th place. |

Talk about how well SAO sell is kind of old thing in Japan now. The talk now is when will Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou gets its anime.... |
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

In fact the precise category in the Oricon chart is LIGHT NOVEL (BUNKO). Since Bunko format is much smaller and cheaper than the regular format, it is more fair to leave out the novels not in Bunko format from the chart. Monogatari is never published in Bunko format, so it is not in the list. I think dtshyk should have made it clearer. |

Still fun to see how many light novels and manga's are sold. And still they are breaking records. I guess reading is still very popular in comparison to many other countries in the world where the participation to read is declining. Also I guess the anime producers benefit from the popularity and vice versa. |

NinetyBeats said: I read that readership has declined in Japan too but it is much slower than other countries. The publishing industry is still doing a lot of printing and though the number of bookshops has decreased it can be partly explained by the growth of big bookstore chain and CD shop or rental chain getting into book retail business, though the rise of big 2nd hand bookstores is also a major factor. I am still very impressed by the number of big bookstores (sometimes taking up multiple floors) I can find when I am in Tokyo. It is a true paradise for people who love to read (though you need to know Japanese).I guess reading is still very popular in comparison to many other countries in the world where the participation to read is declining. |

@ Symbv Really? Well at least the bookstores aren't vanishing as rapidly as out side of Japan. Well still it's impressive to say the least that it can manage to stay big enough to make a profit and keep bookstores alive. As you mentioned the bookstore chains and second hand bookstores are on the rise. |

No surprise whatsoever with the top 2. It's interesting to see some of the lower ones though, many of which barely showed up on the rankings, or didn't at all. Good to be able to see the impact of the anime for stuff like Kokoro Connect at last. |

There must be mistake in volume sales.

Good to see Kokoro Connect. After all the shit that happen to the anime. Also, only 3volumes are released this year. So the increase by volume may be greater than some other series. I was so freaking happy to see that volume9 sold 26,000+ by 2nd week since from my research I've never seen a 2nd week before the anime and first week is about 10,000~ So my impression for the series is that it never sold well and even though the anime clearly boost the sales, I'm was still sad knowing the series popularity. So this make me feel really happy regards to this fandom. I think I can write an essay out of this. I was really sad when the anime sh*t happen. Good to see Sakurasou too :D OniAi and Baka to test too :) Congrats Reki Kawahara. People can hate him , but having 2 series that sold so much he is definitely successful. He can make a living writing light novel. |

Also, if you take boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai vol 8 from the total, the remainder gives 54697 sales per volume. I'd be very surprised if none of them got 55k plus. Similarly, the 9 volumes of Oda Nobuna no Yabou and the 13 volumes of highschool dxd both come to over 50k average each, with none ranked. The average of unranked mahouka koukou no rettosei volumes is almost 88k. I think anything outside the top 35 or so is questionably placed, and the bottom 4 or 5 are certainly not actually ranked in the top 50. |

SAO just topping all the charts this year thanks to anime adaptation. Kawahara must be really happy for SAO & Accel sales. Index consistently stays in the chart. I hope upcoming Railgun S2 & Index movie also hopefully S3 will boost the sales in the future. Yay for Horizon too. |
