Oricon Comic Ranking Summary

3rd place: Cosmic Princess Kaguya!

An overworked, high-spec high school girl × a high-energy Princess Kaguya × a virtual idol!?

A little way into the future.
Iroha Sakayori, an overworked, ultra-capable high school girl living alone to focus on getting into the University of Tokyo, is on her way home one day when she finds a mysterious baby—emerging from a rainbow-glowing “gaming utility pole”!

But that baby rapidly grows up right before her eyes, turning into a spoiled girl who absolutely adores Iroha!
Claiming she came from the moon, the girl is named “Kaguya” by Iroha.
However, once Kaguya learns how The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter ends, she makes a bold declaration—

“I’m going to make it a happy ending. No matter what!”

And then, for some reason, she sets her sights on becoming a top idol in Japan’s largest virtual world, “Tsukuyomi”…!?

2nd place: Who Killed the Hero? The Sage Chapter

Solon, a mage who has avoided people for as long as he can remember, is one day told by a prophet, “Solon, I recognize you as the Hero.” After the kingdom also officially acknowledges him as the Hero, Solon reluctantly resolves to set out alone to defeat the Demon Lord. Along the way, exhausted by a journey he is not used to, he collapses and is rescued by an elf named Eve. The two begin traveling together. As they continue their journey, Solon is drawn to Eve’s character and gradually begins to open his heart. At the same time, he starts to realize what he has truly wanted all along. This is a small miracle that transcends worlds, shared by Solon the Hero and an elf.

1st place: Classroom of the Elite: Year 3 Vol. 4

The third-year uninhabited-island survival game exam is over. With every student exhausted, the next challenge is announced: the Special Token Collection Exam. Sixteen students, four from each class, form a group and collect tokens while competing against ten groups in total. Any student whose tokens hit zero first during the exam, as well as the student with the lowest token count in the entire grade at the end, will be expelled. The tasks for earning tokens test raw ability, including academics and athletic skill. Tokens can be transferred, but on a vast deserted island, the timing for handing them to a specific student is limited. Then one student begins to run wild by exploiting the rules...
"Since I'm the one who decided to have you expelled, I can at least hear out that much of a wish."
