Hybrid general bookstore honto public relations officer explains the 2024 winter anime original ranking
Broadcasting of the winter 2024 anime will begin soon. honto will announce the ranking of original books for works whose anime broadcasts will start from January 2024 (*Number of sales of each book already published from July 1, 2023 to December 15, 2023). Based on the ranking results, we will take a look at the most popular works. “Kingdom (69)” (released in July 2023) took first place. This blockbuster story is set in China during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, and the main character is Shin, a boy who aspires to become a great general. I get positive power from seeing him stand up to the strong without bending himself. Approximately 80% of men and women purchase this product on honto, with men in their 40s making the most purchases. The fifth season of the anime, which will begin in January 2024, will depict the Battle of Black Sheep Hill. The fourth live-action movie is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2024, which shows how popular it is.
Following in second place is “Yubisaki to Koii (9)” (released in July 2023). It is a popular title with a cumulative circulation of over 3.6 million copies (as of October 2013), including the electronic version. A love story between Yuki, a hearing-impaired girl, and Itsuomi, her senior who attends the same university. The purchasing ratio of men and women at honto is over 90% women. It is overwhelmingly popular with women. People in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are buying the same amount of money, and many of the reviews on honto say, “It makes me excited.” By the way, the title is “Yubisaki Torenren.” That sounds cute.
“Bokukoro no Yabai Yatsu (9)” (released in November 2023) ranked third. A romantic comedy depicting the love story of two second-year middle school students, Kyotaro, a negative character, and Anna, a positive character (a beautiful girl at the top of her school caste who also works as a model!). The anime is in its second season, starting in January. According to honto’s purchase data, it is a work that is popular among men, with nearly 90% of them being men. Author Norio Sakurai’s “Mitsudomoe”, whose main characters are 6th grade elementary school triplets, was made into an anime in 2011. 4th place is “MASHLE-(17)” (released in July 2023). The story is set in a world called the “Magic World” where everyone can use magic. However, the main character, the boy Mash, cannot use magic… In order to live a peaceful life with his family, he uses his body, which he has honed over many years of muscle training, to aim for the title of
“Enlightenment”, an outstanding student at a magic school. This work is serialized in the boy’s magazine “Weekly Shonen Jump”, and many women purchase it, and the purchasing ratio of men and women on honto is almost 50/50. The TV anime is in its second season, starting in January.
5th place goes to the only light novel title in the ranking, “Welcome to the classroom where ability is paramount – 2nd grade edition (10)” (released in October 2023). It is a popular series that appears in the rankings every time a new book is released, and the first volume of the series was published in 2015. The game is a fascinating battle of wits that takes place at a special prestigious school where points are awarded based on grades and lifestyle. According to honto’s purchasing data, over 80% of purchases are made by men. You can see that it is very popular among teenagers and people in their 20s. The anime will enter its third season this season.
