that's why Kamachi can't let go of Mikoto. Look at the vol 03 of new testament. Having her as a cover girl even without much from her boost the sales even though vol 04 is super crazy and vol 05 is shaping to be awesome it still didn't beat vol 03.

But still my favorite NT is vol 04.
SAO got a huge boost from its anime. Although I predict that it will sell good enough after this year, I doubt it will sell as much as this year. BTW, if you look at the individual volume sales, SAO vol 1 sells the most instead of the later volume, which indicate the major spike in sales is from new reader of the series drawn by the anime instead of its recurring one, which indicate that it will most likely decrease next year when the anime ends and a major decrease in new reader happen(add to that, not 100% of the new reader this year are going to continue following the series)

As for Index OTH, looking at the individual volume sales, since it's the later volume that get sold the most, we can deduce that this sales number will continue even next year since the reader base has stabilized and the number of sales for Index series depend solely on hw many volume Kamachi is going to publish next year.

And on the subject of that list, I predict that Biblia is going to get a huge boost in sale next year, probably another 1-2 million sales(assuming the author writes at least 2 more books), since a tv drama for biblia has been announced to air on January and it will surely attract even more new reader.
