NOTES:
1. Rank #1 "SAO Vol.10" is the second part of Alicization part, wherein it explains what Kirito has encountered in the Virtual World. Hints are in the cover picture ^^

2. Rank #3 "Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei Vol.6" will focus on a national competition around Autumn...well, with conspiracies and some enemies yet to be introduced.

3. Rank #4 "Invisible Rain" is a prequel story of Strawberry Night written by the same author, and will be having a movie adaptation next year 2013.

4. Rank #5 "SAO Vol.1" and Rank #11 "SAO Vol.2" are Sword Art Online game (Aincrad is the name of the world in SAO) stories, Rank #17 "SAO Vol.3" and Rank #20 are from Alfheim Online game (to be covered in the 2nd half of the anime..probably) while Rank #26 "SAO Vol.5" and "SAO Vol.6" are from GunGale Online. Vol.1 is the main story while Vol.2 consist of short stories supporting the previous volume, same with the Vol.3 as the main story and Vol.4 as its spin-off and Vol.5 and Vol.6. I'm happy with the anime adaptation (and sad because there will be lots of SAO-fan posers *sob*), and hoping this would reach Alicization arc.

5. Rank #6 "Onmyoji" is a story about Abe no Seimei, a famous icon in Japanese legends, and has already a movie adaptation.

6. Rank #8 "Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu Vol.16" is the last volume of the series. Though the ending was already concluded in Vol.15, this volume is a collection of short stories as sequel.

7. Rank #13 "Magdalene de Nemure" is a sci-fi fantasy about a young alchemist and a strange nun in a world of war, murder and conspiracy.

8. Rank #15 "Kantan na Ankeeto desu" is a novel with reader's participation, and that is, answering a survey ^^.

9. Rank #18 "C3 -C Cube- Vol.13" is the second part/continuation of the previous volume.

10. Rank #19 "Oda Nobuna no Yabou Vol.9" is on the invasion of Chugoku Region & the rebellion of Hisahide Matsunaga. Has an ongoing anime adaptation this season.

11. Rank #21 "Ohiroshikiyou Hito" is a mystery novel about ninjas and stuffs on Tokugawa era.

12. Late post again. Geez, I've been busy traveling in several places so I have no leisure times now >__<
