Theater Hit 'Suzume-ui Mundan-sok' Ranks 2nd on Kyobo Bookstore Bestsellers

'The Teachings of Seino' has maintained the No. 1 spot on the comprehensive bestseller list for five consecutive weeks. The second place was taken by the novel 'Suzume no Tojimari.' As the animation 'Suzume no Tojimari' creates a sensation in theaters, the novel has also attracted significant attention. Sales increased compared to last week, narrowing the gap with the No. 1 spot.

Following that, the comprehensive 3rd place was occupied by 'I Was a Prosecutor in the Republic of Korea.' It rose 43 places to rank third overall amid political and social issues. Interest was high among male readers, notably with purchases by men aged 60 and over accounting for 33.7%, drawing attention.

'Jang Ha-joon's Economics Recipe' entered the comprehensive list at No. 14 upon publication. Professor Jang Ha-joon, a world-renowned economist and bestselling author, attracted attention with his new work after a long time. Additionally, titles such as 'Buy Starbucks Stock When It Rains in Brazil,' which became a reverse-hit bestseller through YouTube, as well as 'When to Buy, When to Sell, When to Earn,' and 'K Battery Revolution,' have rekindled readers' interest in the economics and business management field, which had been sluggish for a while. This seems to have reignited interest in studying economic trends amid unstable economic conditions such as inflation and stock investment crises.

While adult readers showed interest in economics and business management, the power of young readers was demonstrated as new series of fairy tales and children's comics quickly entered the top ranks upon publication. This week, the new series of 'The Strange Candy Store Jeoncheon-dang' debuted at No. 6 overall, and titles like 'Cat Troubleshooter Kkamnyang' and 'Common Siblings Science Exploration Team' saw significant rises in ranking.
