Problem with that Sol is that a lot of those announcements are shipped figures instead of actually sold.. like when J.C Staff put out a release saying Hidan no Aria light novels sold like 4 million copies or some shit... yet you look @ the Oricon numbers for the week and vol 1 was @ 150k... didn't compute. Japanese video game companies nearly always talk in shipped numbers... don't see why the rest wouldn't be the same.

Also by static growth here's the example...

104k - Vol10
92k - Vol11
105k - Vol12
71k - Vol13
69k - Vol14
103k - Vol15

6 Volumes and the opening week sales are mostly the same... Vol 13+14 had a day less to sell than the rest for this comparison... but looking @ how weak the anime is... would be a miracle if it could push Vol 16 to 120k let alone anything over 150k...

Medaka Box really should be around the same as Kuroko.. but that kept growing.... and yeah agreed on your last point Sol..
