Soo I am not gonna completely out myself here, but around 13 years ago I watched this one-cour-long unpopular anime series and fell in love ; its manga had been partly released in English before the publishing company shut down, and I assume its sales weren't astounding since no other company picked it. Which isn't surprising, because its art was hideous for the first 5 volumes or so, thus the English release barely got to the good-art-arc. The story is... unique and Full of subversions and I suppose not all fans of the genre enjoy its comedy. The author had another manga that was turned into anime a few years later, and that one was much more popular (among creeps) so, even though their previous work (the one I enjoyed) felt like it had much more heart and the world-building was a lot more complex they kinda ... stopped prioritizing it.

For the past decade my online nickname has been the name of the MC - which I cosplayed - and made some other fanworks for it, and I am a big part of the fandom only because it's so small and I am in many more fandoms with that nickname. Being That Multifandom Bitch who occasionally can't shut up about one piece of media I was That Ripple for a significant percentage of fans (in other words, 3 to 5 people lol). Recently the fanlisting, which I made graphics for, that had been carefully updated every month with "no new members" for the past 10 years shut down without a sound and I am sad that I couldn't adopt it because I am pretty sure we will never have the names of 13 (!) fans of it anywhere else.

So, that's the one. And I really do love that series. Ironically the Eng DVD box set was released 8 years after the anime, just before the streaming boom, then it was released ON HIDIVE and the trailer was only uploaded to YouTube like 4 years later at the beginning of the pandemic soo ... Weird choices and I wonder if my endless screaming ever gave any marketing researcher the wrong idea about its popularity lol.
