So it's a guys Foxen here! Last week you saw the top 10 selling manga of 2018!

Today let's go ahead and do the same but this time for the light novel series and

yes this year SAO has fallen. Anyway starting from behind starting at number

10 you have no game no life. Hopefully if you're watching this you've gotten the

treat of actually seeing the series plus the movie. If you think about it it's

already been what four years since madhouse did the anime. Still this series

is going strong so come on mad house season 2 when? Getting into number nine

and hey SAO and yes we're actually gonna look at the list from last year a little

bit later. I'm actually not too surprised to see SAO fallen down.

Technically they didn't have the SAO movie last year although the anime

series ended what in 2014? It's been quite a while. Now with SAO Alicization

I do expect sales to pick up once again. Next up at number 8 Classroom

of the elite. The name may sound familiar it actually got an anime adaptation last

year and to be honest I'm not sure why there's this popular. Let me be fair and

say that I've only seen the anime version and god that was boring as

hell so if you are a fan of this series definitely let me know if the

light novels are better. Anyway getting into number 7 Sao progressive so what's

this sao is actually twice on this list? So yes this actually might be the reason

that sao is not number one. You pretty much have the vote being split. In case

you haven't heard of sao progressive i'm sure whether you were a fan of sao or

straight out hate it both of these sides definitely would agree that they wanted

to see the whole on Aincrad story just Kirito and friends going floor by floor up

until the very end. That's pretty much what sao progressive is. Unsurprisingly

it is freakin popular. If only Reki sped up releasing these. Let me just mention

that if you didn't enjoy the first half of sao

i would highly recommend this series. Next up at number six the Ryuo's work is

never done. To be honest this might be the only

series here that i'm not familiar with. The premise is supposed to be about this

super talented shogi player. The top one in the world.

he's even got the title of the dragon king. It actually got an anime adaptation

this year so who knows if this was really popular or if the anime just

really helped the sales. Next up number five that time I got reincarnated

as a slime. If you're at all an anime fan I'm sure you've at least heard about

this series airing right now. It's gotten of surprisingly popular. Keep in mind

that a lot of these sales are coming before the anime adaptations actually

started. For me as one of the series I haven't been able to jump into yet it'd

be happening it let me know if it is worth watching! Next up at number four

this one should sound familiar rezero. For this one really no surprise to see

that's on here. I mean the anime was a colossal hit back in 2016 just two years

ago. Ever since then rezero has been at the

top of the charts. Speaking of which rezero has also been a colossal hit in

terms of sales merch sales that is. You see REM everywhere so it's not really a

matter of if this is getting a season two but when. A few months ago they did

release the rezero ova special my review on that is out by the way and getting

into the top three the irregular at magic high school. At this point really

no surprise to see this on the list. It's been at the top of the charts for the

past few years. If you are a fan of this series is definitely let me know how

it's going. I do wonder what's going on with the anime situation for this one.

Next up at number two KonaSuba and just like rezero no surprised to see

this on the list. If you haven't gotten a chance to get acquainted with Kazuma,

darkness, Megumin and the useless aqua definitely treat yourself! Just like for

rezero there's no question about whether this is gonna get another season

but when unfortunately nothing official has been announced although konoSuba

is getting a movie next year. This year konosuba even got a cameo in the rezero ova special.

That was pretty nice! Then taking the crown for number one overlord over

800,000 sales. For this one I'm gonna turn into mr. unpopular I've seen this

getting so much attention this year which is not a surprise seeing the

season two over that was split over the year. Let me just be honest and say that

I'm not really sure what the appeal of this series is. I do like the concept a

lot actually the anime however, let's just say that I feel that it's lost

potential and let me not get started on the freakin CG usage. Either way let me

not crap on this series too much it is number one if you are a hardcore

fan of the series definitely let me know what the light novels are better. I

didn't hear the anime cut out a lot. Either way at the beginning of this I

did mention that sao got dethroned although if you do add up the sales of

both series pretty much tied. We'll see what happens next year. Let me actually

quickly mention something about the top figure it's only at about 800,000

compare that to the king of manga one piece being at what 8 million? I do

wonder what the reason is for such a huge difference. Are there less readers?

or more people buying a digital comparative physical when you're

comparing to manga? or there just were options and hence competition when it

comes to novels? Anyway switching gears let's compare

this to 2017. Last year Sao was king at number one and then you have Konosuba

which was pretty much tied with rezero at number three. I do like how the top three

are pretty much isekai series. It does look like normal sales pretty much took

a hit in sales too just like manga. Not even cracking 1 million this year. The

one that really got fortunate seems to be overlord. overlord pretty much

doubled its sales which really means that season two that got split over this

year definitely helped. For this year looks like your name, ero manga sensei

and the evil Tanya dropped off the list. So here's my quick prediction for next

year. I definitely expect SAO to be back on top. The light novel for the final

arc just went on sale a few days ago. On top of that you have about 40 episodes

left for SAO Alicization. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if sales

doubled. As for other possible surprises rezero is getting a second special next

year focused on Emilia. Keep in mind there's nothing confirmed yet but I

actually do expect rezero season 2 to come out next year or at least

there's a really good chance of it. For konoSuba the konoSuba movie will come

out next year which really just means next year you can see SAO back on number

one 99% chance and then rezero and konosuba fighting for the number two and three

spot but anyway more important let me hear from you now question of the day

were you surprised by any other series on this list? Did you expect overlord to

be on number one? And how about the positions for konosuba rezero or SAO?

and do you have your own predictions for next year? Anyway go ahead and smash that
