The global success of Solo Leveling may overshadow its low sales in Japan. Despite not making Oricon's top 20, the series has been renewed for a second season and praised by fans worldwide. Like other hits such as Chainsaw Man, Solo Leveling proves that success is no longer solely measured by Japanese reception, especially with an expanding international fanbase. With increased accessibility and diverse marketing efforts, anime like Kaiju no. 8 are receiving adaptations despite low domestic sales. Solo Leveling's future remains bright, showcasing the evolving landscape of the anime industry beyond Japan. The series' focus on a Korean manhwa may have limited its appeal in Japan, but its global popularity signifies a shift in how success is determined in the industry.
