IG Port shares rose sharply. The market welcomed the decision by its consolidated subsidiary WIT STUDIO to produce a sequel to the anime series.
Shares of major anime producer IG Port extended their sharp gains. The catalyst was an announcement after the previous day's close that its consolidated subsidiary, WIT STUDIO, planned to produce a sequel to a popular anime series.
The sequel will be the television anime “Ascendance of a Bookworm: The Royal Academy’s Self-Proclaimed Library Committee Member.” The original is a popular work with cumulative sales exceeding 14 million copies, including e-books. The announcement immediately after the final episode of the previous series attracted attention.
WIT STUDIO, which produced the previous series, is expected to handle production of the sequel as well, prompting widespread expectations that its high quality and steady popularity will continue.
