Index Novel Sales Figures and Discussion

[Callum18]

Yea I agree, it's best we stop here. We have all made some good points when ever with agree with them or not.

I'm going to be honest, I do believe some fans care about the series more then just its LN'S while other's may not. I personally love and want to enjoy the series in more ways then just the LN'S. I love the LN'S, the manga and the anime. I bet some of us won't even been here had it not been for one of them 3 things XD.

The only thing we can do now is on June 9th, Dengeki is doing make a wish thing. We should all wish for Index III and hope for the best (:.

26.　*3,953　*60,729　Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Vol.18

Probably its last week in the charts seeing as it's near the bottom now, unless the cut-off will be really low next week.

[Sacredus]

So it's today that Index 3 will not be announced again?

Dengeki is just asking the fans what they want, and it's going all the way through Fall.

JEEZ, i can see Dungeon in the 100k since it spin off anime is airing right now, and people are still in the Konosuba Hype. but 60K for the volume that ACTUALLY GIVES US ANSWER! well looking all the number for the other LN that are in the 1K section, maybe it not to bad. What do you think admin and other fans?

Which highest selling LN series are you talking about

Not as bad as you think, NT19 is out on Oct 7, so we have 1 or 2 day before the chart drop out, so 16k in 1 or 2 days is not so bad, I'd wait for next week to see the actual weekly sales

Also, we just got the anime, so I somehow doubt it'll continue going down.

Edit: Just bought my copy of NT 19 on Amazon.jp.

quite pathetic if we take into account what this series meant in the past.

[Seafoam]

It's more of a testament to how horribly Dengeki has handled the series since 2014.

[Kuroageha]

Isn't the series' fault but Dengeki horrible marketing practices.

[Endscape]

Well, worry not. When Season 3 arrives we’re sure to see some resurgence.

Why do you think this isn't the series's fault, please explain?

[KiharaRonin]

^The series is still a phenomenon in Japan. People love it so much, Season 3's announcement trended. People are especially hyped for recent volumes.

Sounds about right. We need to be happy with what we have. And in the first place. This series is soooo long. It's way harder for it to sell big than for other series that aren't nearly as long. That's always a factor.

To put it in perspective, to understand the latest plot you have to read everything up to now. So basically all of the people buying the new volumes have also read/bought most of the previous volumes. That's ridiculous. It's just common sense that not everyone has that type of attention span especially since there was that lull of quality during the Kamisato arc. I think that people will come back and buy volumes and there will be hype when season 3 comes out though. At the very least we can hope for that.
