It has been popular as a TV anime and movie, and it recorded the highest cumulative circulation (over 30 million copies) among the comics of the manga "Ribon" that was serialized. The sales of character goods in 1990 recorded over 10 billion yen annually. It is said that it reached 70 billion yen in 1991, overturning the industry's jinx that "human characters don't sell."
