But this novel is #2 in the ranking for a reason (and that's WAY before the anime is announced...), even though the author is more known for novels that got discontinued more than anything... |

He has good with his story-telling skill but his novels are often too sarcastic, especially against the society and otaku culture He can regain reputation from some hardcore readers like me but not easily accept by average readers However, this one (BokuTomo) is more reader-friendly than his previous works So, it is reasonable for its popularity um...AIC... I will make my comment until the PV is out |

16, *9,454 *,116,082 Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai vol.6 If it finishes @ around 150,000 than it is still well behind a lot of other series... but it's definitely more popular prior to the anime than any other big series atm. Index, DRR, Baka Test were nowhere near selling as well as Haganai is right now. If this receives from the anime a similar bump to the novels like OreNo got than Haganai will be only behind Haruhi. A successful Haganai anime could push these light novels to around 400,000+.. I mean look @ the jump DRR received purely from the anime! Weekly Light Novel Ranking for Jan 25 - 31 *2, 13,186 *45,804 Durarara!! vol.1 ^ This is the first time it charted on Oricon after the anime started airing. LN Sales Rankings for Dec 09-Nov10 Light Novel Ranking *1, 1,211,835 Moshidora *2, *,328,113 Durarara!! vol.1 ^ And this was the sales it ended up doing by the end of November... so it went from selling under 30,000 to increasing by nearly 300,000 copies to sell 328k due to the anime. Baka Test had a similar increase.... Now Haganai is in a much better position prior to the anime, Vol 1 is probably @ 150-160k, can't be fucked checking. This really is the only contender to Haruhi, hopefully AIC don't drop the ball. |

I don't mean one or two good characters, I mean where the entire cast is generally good. That is what Haganai has and what OreImo does not. Could this be the successor I have been waiting for? |

I mean, even though the sales are not that bad for a LN (any time you get pass 100k it's pretty good), bestseller? Latest Haruhi sells 400k...hack, Oreimo Vol. 8 sells around 200k... Quote:
At the end, whenever you have a club, you'll see all those characters in the club appear often, thus getting much more character development. And of course, the more depth you have to a character, the "better" they are just b/c they actually have personality instead of "just being there for a story or two"... On the other hand, though, yes, it does takes MUCH more effort to balance out the development. There ARE series with too big of a cast and even "main" characters get shaft all the time (Cough...Index...Cough...) |

As far as Oreimo, though, it's more like it has two sides of character and the only 3 that blurred that line are Kyousuke, Kirino, and Kuroneko. And since the otaku side is portray much more than the normal side... |

To Registered member: I would love to see that but its very unusual to see characters designs getting a change .

There are a lot of eventual heroines, she is one of them but not a main one, as for Railgun manga yes, she is one there but not in Index so far, other thing is the popularity than the relevance to the plot. |

Japan's Light Novels Rankings for 1st Half of Fiscal 2011 Volume by volume (copies) *1, 962,495 Moshidora *2. 240,443 One Piece Strong Words vol.1 *3, 223,124 Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu vol.9 *4, 206,086 Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament vol.1 *5, 205,326 Kabukimonogatari *6, 180,408 Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai vol.8 *7, 178,077 Hanamonogatari *8, 171,476 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.6 *9, 168,478 Durarara!! vol.9 10, 162,836 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.7 11, 152,939 Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai vol.5 12, 151,910 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.1 13, 145,523 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.2 14, 143,478 Gintama Kaettekita 3 nen Z gumi Ginpachi Sensei Returns 15, 140,817 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.3 As you can see Hagani is the only one on that list without an anime to help promote it. And Baka, Index, Monogatari, Ore No, IS and DRRs sales prior to the anime where nowhere near as good as Hagani's is now. Was he actually serious? Because if he's anything like fighting game producers (Ono, Harada, Dashi) he's a damn troll on twitter lol. |

P.S. Moshidora is no LN...(And putting it on the chart is just a stupid idea, when that book is #1 bestseller in Japan...) Last edited by ion475; 2011-06-18 at 09:38. |
