De acordo com os dados fornecidos pela Oricon revelou-se um ranking onde podemos ver quais foram as light novels mais vendidas no Japão em 2012 no período de 21/11/2011 até 18/11/2012.


Facilmente nós percebemos que a novel de Sword Art online vendeu muitas cópias graças à adaptação para anime e dominou 2012 com o dobro de vendas da novel do mesmo criador, Accel World, o qual também teve uma adaptação para anime neste mesmo ano.


A seguir vocês podem consultar os dois rankings apurados, um por séries vendidas e outro por volumes vendidos.
