Furthermore, it won first place in the hardcover manga category at the Next Manga Awards 2024 , further cementing its popularity.
One of the show's distinguishing features is its strong international following. From the first chapters, fans around the world, known as "Bachibros," boosted the series' popularity on social media, making it a global phenomenon and Shueisha's biggest recent international hit.
The anime market in Japan has grown exponentially, reaching 3.34 trillion yen in 2023, driven by adaptations of major Jump titles such as Demon Slayer , Jujutsu Kaisen , and My Hero Academia . However, the industry faces a shortage of new hits, making Kagurabachi a strategic bet.
