  "account": "Fuyumi Ono's Yumei no Kishi: Juni Kokuki secured the top spot on the Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 for the second consecutive week, continuing to dominate both physical and digital sales. This marks the first new installment in seven years of the beloved fantasy novel series, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary. The book continues to generate buzz across various platforms, maintaining its position at No. 4 in social media rankings.\n\nYama Wayama's Onna no Sono no Hoshi Vol. 5 held the second place for the third straight week, still performing well in both print and digital formats. Pan Dorobo to Sasurai Ramen, the eighth book in Keiko Shibata's popular picture book series, rose one spot to No. 3 after debuting at No. 4 last week.\n\nYu Nagira's Nanji, Hoshi no Gotoku climbed to No. 6, possibly due to a surge in readers familiarizing themselves with the story ahead of the highly anticipated live-action film adaptation set to release on October 9. Starring Ryusei Yokohama and Suzu Hirose, this film has likely fueled the book's sales. The Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 includes a broad range of sales data, including brick-and-mortar and e-commerce purchases, library loans, and social media engagement. The top 10 titles on this week's list span various genres and authors, reflecting the diverse reading interests within Japan.",
