What is the situation?
Kuroda couldn't help but doubt his own eyes. Did he see that right?
The Eternal and Your Lie in April were ranked sixth and seventh on the sales report of the Yae Publishing House main store?
Although the sales gap between them and the top five was a bit large, the popular books following behind, such as Impossible! My Second Brother Orobashi is Invincible Under the Heavens and Reborn as the Kamisato Clan's Dog, were also biting tight on the sales numbers.
But if the sales of these two books were combined, they could already charge into the top three of the main store's sales report...
Kuroda's first reaction was that he had read it wrong. His second reaction was that the data report might have been filled in incorrectly...
His third reaction was that the readers buying these two books were mainly concentrated at the Yae Publishing House main store, and the sales results at other storefronts were likely quite average...
So, he flipped through several data reports in a row and found that although the data fluctuated, on average, Your Lie in April and The Eternal ranked roughly eleventh and twelfth overall.
But to skyrocket on the second day after having sold only three hundred copies on the first day... wasn't that too rare?
Moreover, both books had charged onto the eleventh and twelfth places of the daily sales chart at the same time.
How is this possible?
It was simply unheard of.
Ah Mao, who was standing to the side, saw Kuroda stunned in place. He couldn't help but pat Kuroda's shoulder and say, "Kuroda, don't space out. Hurry up and finish organizing the reports; there's other work to do."
Recovering from his shock, Kuroda looked at Ah Mao and said, "You might not believe it if I say it."
"What's there not to believe? Let's hear it." Ah Mao rolled his eyes at Kuroda and said.
"I just estimated it. Your Lie in April and The Eternal are roughly located at the eleventh and twelfth places on the second-day sales chart," Kuroda said.
He didn't lower his voice, so almost everyone present heard him clearly.
However, after hearing it, just as Kuroda had said, they really didn't quite believe it...
Especially Aratani. Her eyes went wide. After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly rushed to Kuroda's desk, picked up the report, and flipped through it carefully.
"It's actually true..."
Aratani was stunned.
Although she knew the quality of Fang Qiu's two books was extremely high, even with good quality, it shouldn't be possible to rush to such a high position after only three hundred total sales on the first day, right?
Although this was also related to readers of other books having already bought their preferred choices on the first day, for the results of Fang Qiu's two books to rush to this position was enough to shock anyone.
Beyond the shock, Aratani was also very curious. How exactly did these two books charge up the rankings?
Just as everyone was discussing this spiritedly, a Yae Publishing House employee jogged all the way into the editorial department office.
"What's the matter?" Ah Mao frowned and asked.
"The stock for Your Lie in April and The Eternal has sold out at all Yae Publishing House bookstores. Right now, many readers are waiting at the bookstore entrances. They've sent people to request an emergency reprint of a batch," the employee said.
Hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.
The stock sold out?
Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
"Kuroda, hand the sales report work to Ah Mao. You come with me," Aratani frowned and said.
"Okay."
Kuroda nodded, then cast his gaze toward Ah Mao and said, "Leaving it to you. I'll treat you to drinks tonight."
After saying that, without waiting for Ah Mao to voice his protest, Kuroda and Aratani had already vanished from the editorial department office.
"This..."
Ah Mao's face turned dark. He had to work overtime tonight...
After letting out a sigh, Ah Mao could only take the data report and start calculating.
Ordinary people left directly when they saw Fang Qiu's two books were sold out.
However, there was still a batch of enthusiasts gathering in the teahouses and restaurants around the bookstore, waiting.
At this moment, in the teahouse opposite the Yae Publishing House main store.
"Tanaka, are you sure that book is that good? We've been waiting for so long. If the book isn't good, I'm breaking your legs."
"Don't worry. Although I've only read ten or so chapters of that Your Lie in April, the quality can definitely be called first-class."
"Are you guys also here to buy the two books the Shirasagi Himegimi bought yesterday?"
"Yeah, what about you?"
"Me too. I borrowed a friend's copy yesterday and read two pages. It feels like a healing story about redemption. I was dumped a while ago, so I want to read a beautiful story to soothe my wounded heart."
"Hearing you guys say that, I'm looking forward to it more and more. I wonder just how good the books that could attract the Shirasagi Himegimi to personally come to Yae Publishing House to buy them are."
"Is Yae Publishing House up to the task? Why haven't they transported the books over yet?"
"Just wait. I estimate Yae Publishing House didn't expect those two books to sell out either. After all, before the Shirasagi Himegimi went to Yae Publishing House to buy books, almost no one bought those two."
"By the way, what books are you guys talking about? The Shirasagi Himegimi came to Yae Publishing House to buy books?"
"I heard it from a friend too, but it's pretty much confirmed to be true."
