It really depends on the format of the book. Based on a maybe not-so-random selection of the [books I’ve read](https://bookmeter.com/users/1078611/bookcases/11656155?sort=book_count&order=desc) (my bookshelf on bookmeter), I used jpdb to find the total amount of characters in the whole book, then I divided it by the amount of pages the book has (from bookmeter) to find an estimate.

| Book | Characters | Pages | Char/Page |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Honzuki 1 | 158 457 | 351 | 451 |
| Sword Art Online 1 | 141 359 | 352 | 402 |
| Konbini Ningen | 60 188 | 168 | 358 |
| Kiki’s Delivery Service | 84 180 | 256 | 329 |
| Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon 1 | 94 572 | 288 | 328 |
| Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 1 | 106 624 | 328 | 325 |

So the average based on this tiny sample would be **366 characters per page** :3
