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 coming to Japanese television 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.
