How? Did SAO and Mahouka fans snipe each other?

[Chaos2Frozen]

Completely unexpected victory

[Shadow5YA]

I didn't expect Oregairu to overtake SAO and Index.

[Chaos2Frozen]

^

It had an longer title than them :3

[JoksPacifist]

I wonder if and how the anime has a share of responsibility on this victory.

But they all have relatively recent anime adapations that stuck fairly close to the source material.

Last I've heard it did average on sales.

For all we know it could be the collaborators working overtime in ensuring that SAO doesn't become third year running winner.

What I meant was: It came 6th last year, then it had the anime and 2 more volumes, (or 3, depending when they stop the voting) therefore I wonder if the adaptation brought it to a bigger audience, which recognized it's value, putting it in a top spot this year.

Well, how much did the sale increased? It has to be at least around 100k to challenge SAO and the others through popularity.

Latest volume (7.5) sold over 92k copies before dropping out of Oricon's weekly rankings; before the anime, they would only sell 30k-40k copies.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Ah so there is a big increase.

I totally did not expect that

[n0m@n]

Lol, thats what it says on the cover Shadow5YA posted.
Im more concerned about the character who ranked 1st in the female character poll.

I think it's a nice change after SAO and Index.

[Hemisphere]

JP readers are praising 俺ガイル's story developments from what I've read so far, so this win could be a great way to bolster its sales.

I wonder how well 六花の勇者 is doing, though...

let me guess

Wow that's unexpected. I'm curious to see the voting repartition. Could it be that the voters finally got bored of having the same winners each time, or is there another cause?

I'll be happy if it simply is still in the top 50. It seems to have gathered more fans lately so maybe it still managed to enter the top without the help of the voters from the industry.
Too bad media works bunko's title cannot enter the ranking. I'm curious to see how well would fare Biblia koshodou, and I would have liked to see Reinousha Minato in there.

BTW... It's been a while since something else than a title from dengeki bunko ranked first. And first time a gagaga bunko title ranks first.
