Sales of basketball manga jumped by 1,057 percent from the same period in the previous year, reflecting the success of “The First Slam Dunk.”
Inha University, professor, Eun-hee, who teaches consumer science, attributed the robust sales to the generation that enjoyed Slam Dunk in the 1990s now having enough consumption power to lead sales of basketball goods.
