It seems like annual favorites like Sword Art Online, A Certain Magical Index, The Irregular at Magic High School, and My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU were not able to get #1 this year, because 2015 seems to be the year of the goddess Hestia, as she boob strings her way to #1 in terms of sales. It’s the year of DanMachi for light novels, and from the rankings alone, Hestia really has defeated a lot of big names.
