Latest: Japan Weekly Light Novel Sales Ranking As of September 15 2025 Announced by Oricon

3rd place: Anata no Oshiro no Kobito-san ~Sora o Kakeru Haikankou~ Vol.1

Exiled from his marquis household due to his "useless" aptitude for production magic, young Van has been steadily developing a village using knowledge from his previous life and his unique magical skills.

One day, Van receives a letter from a guild contact bearing startling news: a ship has appeared along the coast of the Kingdom of Scuderia—one capable of crossing the sea. A vessel crossing continents despite the threat of sea-dwelling magical beasts is no small matter, so Van and his companions rush to investigate.

Excited by the prospect of the sea and the ship, Tille, Arte, and Kamshin can hardly contain themselves. Van, meanwhile, is more intrigued by the ship’s structure and how it could possibly withstand monster attacks.

"I'm back!!!"
The beloved Little Gnome series continues!

Chihiro Sagami, a single woman in her late twenties, has been reincarnated—after many twists and turns—as the daughter of Drago, a royal chef.
The Drago family enjoys peaceful, ordinary days filled with happiness.

In her previous isekai reincarnation, Chihiro was close to the gods, possessed the same magical powers as them, and even saved this world from the hands of evil in another realm.
She thought she could finally live a quiet, uneventful life this time…

“It has been a while, my beloved child.”
—Of course, things won’t be that simple again…!?

The journey of the little gnome begins once more♪

2nd place: Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden Vol.9

The martial arts tournament ended in a huge success.
Nia, personally satisfied after battling a hero candidate, was suddenly met with an unexpected punishment—exile from the kingdom by royal decree!

The reason? It all stems from a certain program that Nia and her group filmed...

Now banished, Nia is sent to the Mech Kingdom Mavellia, where she must enroll in a school for mechanized soldiers.

In this closed-off nation and academy that worships magically enhanced armor and rejects anything else, everything clashes with Nia’s values.

“Our real opponent... is this country. Sounds fun, right?”

The strongest rampage of the angelic yet maddened noble lady continues—Volume 9 kicks off a brand-new arc with explosive chaos!
