Analysis
This is the standard path for Japanese publishers now: sell enough copies, get a live-action adaptation, then a TV anime, with each step pushing the original back onto bookstore tables. Six hundred thousand copies is a solid mid-tier run, and the Netflix film is what carried it to an anime greenlight. Note it for 2027; for anyone watching the publishing business, the interesting part is how adaptations now sustain the source.
