The latest round of sales rankings out of Japan have arrived for the week ending on April 5th and there’s definitely some interesting numbers in the mix there. The second installment of Saenai has hit and landed at the top, and even the first volume resurfaced with about 800 copies getting moved a month after it came out. Kantai Collection has held onto the second spot by adding another 2100 copies, getting more folks to nab it for the event tickets most likely, and the Fate/Stay Night: UBW first box set added another 1600 copies to its total, though still well short of the 40,000 number. Also of interest is that the new limited edition release of Hellsing Ultimate with its back half landed in the third place spot.
Not surprising but still bad is that the second installment of Kamisama Kiss has debuted with under a thousand copies again.
