Proven appeal of subject: Over 10,000 copies of this series have been sold as eBooks and strong print sales through specialty retailers. Japanese turnout is strong, with a manga adaptation released in monthly serialisation and an anime airing in Q1 2020.
Genre staying power: Modelled on long-running adventure manga like Naruto, Infinite Dendrogram features lots of action, a large ensemble cast of characters, and a mix of adventure and comedy which keeps the reader engaged. The serialised storytelling also encourages returning for the next volume!
Artwork: Multiple full-page illustrations (including color frontmatter) add extra value and provide crossover appeal with the manga buying audience.
