Does "fully voiced" mean an actor read the book (like on Audible) or is it a computer reading the book?

I'm not entirely sure how a manga can be narrated, but a Youtuber with a sizable following recorded it and encouraged sales as he got a cut of each sale, leading to a crazy success which explains how it got so high. |

CDawgVA directed an audiobook version, and he's in Japan as an employee of Kadokawa/Bookwalker so I doubt he's getting any sort of cut. |

I'm struck by how strong the correlation is between success in print and anime adaptations. I presume the relationship goes both ways. I know in a few cases like Chihayafuru the anime encouraged a substantial growth in manga sales. Certainly also true for Kimetsu no Yaiba now with lines of fans outside bookstores waiting to buy what is reportedly the final installment of that series. Still, do production committees generally choose to adapt manga that are already popular, or ones that are on the threshold of widespread popularity in an effort to broaden their exposure?

This is quite interesting. It may be rather delicate. Pick the manga that has a baseline popularity to skirt the line of profitability, but also pick the manga that has the potential to attract a bigger audience. |

It's so nice to see Villainess and Bookworm be popular. Female-led isekai (especially shoujo!) needs more love.

To be honest the misleading title of this article is extremely disappointing. No mention of the actual #1 series in the article's title and the #2 title is the one represented in the thumbnail image. Too many LGBT+ titles and their achievements get buried to showcase more mainstream content, and it's extremely disappointing to see it happening here. I expected better from ANN.
