This is just an infodump post for the May series I’ll be tracking, compiled via amazon’s upcoming anime releases list. Not much beyond the initial numbers here. The April summary post will be up in a week or so (though it won’t have updated charts – I want to just keep collecting data for the next few months before I try identifying trends again).

This is an off-topic question, but is it true that the Magical Warfare LN has ended? Because I read on 4chan that the LN just ended recently, in fact, one volume after its anime adaptation (which flopped so badly it didn’t even chart) was the last, although I can’t find any news on ANN. Is that trye?

^If it has, Japanese wikipedia is out of date (LNDB collaborates). It lists the LN at 8 volumes (most recent one in late March) and still publishing. Generally, my policy is zero trust for anyone on the internet without a source link.
