For the week of April 25th through May 1st, Japan’s manga sales were topped by One Piece, meanwhile, Toshokan Sensou managed to take the first and second spot on the light novels chart. It’s certainly no surpirse that big ongoing shounen series are just trading off their #1 spots, nearly monopolizing the sales chart.
The light novels on the other hand have a much more diverse outlook with Moshidora following Toshokan Sensou at #3. The list continues down with some other respectable series.
