Phew, glad Chihayafuru box 2 DVD's barely charted (due to the Miyazaki retirement filling the DVD chart with old movies) or else we couldn't know that box 2 did over 3000 sales total for a season average over the line! Season 3 please!!! Along with manga sales that continue to be good and the flagship title status of BE LOVE I am hopeful that we will eventually get a season 3.

Glad to see LoveLab did well too.

Big drop for BroCon as expected with the loss of event ticket in v2. Still a pretty good showing though really.

Yeah, couldn't agree more we need a 3rd season of Chihayafuru!

Still dont know why such an awesome anime isn't more popular...

Love Lab gets on the charts- I was one of the 900 or so people who purchased the blu-ray.

Good! Actually 2737 people bought the Bluray, 900 odd bought the DVD so sales overall are pretty good, 3691 total. Though this volume was cheap with just one episode so the rest of the volumes may not sell as well but I hope they do.

I didn't buy LoveLab this week, just Chiyahafuru and Rozen Maiden v2 which didn't show up today, but should on Thursday Sad

Regarding Love Lab, if it struggles to break 4K units on a hyperdiscounted first volume between its three flavors, it's almost certainly going to sell like crap for the rest. Normal attrition would put it average in the low-to-mid 3s, but I think mid-to-upper 2s is more likely.

That is incorrect. We don't know yet. The next volume will have a ticket to get a chance to go to the event with the seiyuu. I will keep on buying because not only do I like the series, there are awesome extras every time.

Ah - wasn't expecting something like that for the second volume. Considering that, it'll probably end up being horribly uneven, whatever the final average.
