Proven appeal of subject: Over 30,000 copies of this series have been sold as eBooks. Japanese turnout is strong, with cross-medial synergy between the manga and original light novel editions of the story. J-Novel Club maintains this strategy, releasing both the manga adaptation and original light novels both digitally and in print.

Genre staying power: With its European-inspired setting and epic fantasy story, The Unwanted Undead Adventurer combines lavish, detailed artwork with the elements Western fantasy readers love, providing crossover opportunity for both audiences. The serialised storytelling also encourages returning for the next volume!
