[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] Kim Hyena's If I Were to Live My Life Again has maintained the overall No. 1 position for four consecutive weeks. Gary Keller's The One Thing climbed one spot to No. 2 overall, closely following.
With the sustained popularity of the animation Slam Dunk, Slam Dunk Champ rose eight spots to No. 16 overall. Although there is explosive interest in the original manga, other set books have not been reflected in the overall bestseller rankings due to supply issues. Since sales are conducted through online pre-orders, it is expected to take considerable time for readers to receive them.
Besides the Slam Dunk series, the popularity of Japanese manga series extends to other books as well. Japanese manga series such as Tokyo Aliens, Chainsaw Man, and Spy Family dominate the top ranks in the manga category.
Interest in popular drama script collections also continued. My Liberation Diary entered the overall rankings at No. 32 and topped the arts category upon publication. Additionally, the Misaeng script collection, published nearly ten years after the drama aired, also attracted fans’ attention and entered the bestseller rankings upon release.
