Precisely, stumbled. So did I. It's a small chance, and not everyone who stumbled into it got hooked. And most of the people who could possibly enjoy the series, simply didn't have the chance to stumble into the series like you and I did.

Simply put, this series just have very low... foreign advertising power?(idk a better term) Try asking anime fans outside of Japan, and you'd most likely get something like this "Oh, Is it something like Naruto or Fairy Tail?" or "Never heard of it".

I won't deny that the franchise is still doing rather well in Japan, though readership had dropped quite a bit in recent years. But like most series in Japan, they really don't put that much effort into trying to market their product outside.
