The blog, initially started in March 2019, gained momentum in December 2019, earning $70 in its first month. By March 2020, it achieved over 1 million page views. However, due to a core update in May 2020, traffic decreased because Google prioritized news sites, especially in the wake of COVID-19. Despite this, the site maintains around 200,000 monthly views. The blog is recognized as an authority in the anime and manga niche, with significant backlinks from similar sites. Its primary revenue comes from ads, mainly through AdSense, and it is exploring opportunities with Ezoic. There are plans to pursue Amazon Affiliate marketing post-COVID. Additional revenue streams have been considered, such as Taboola for an extra $200 monthly, while offers from Propeller ads were declined due to their use of popup ads. The blog has the potential to earn significantly more if not for the pandemic. The owner is selling the business due to commitments with multiple ventures and believes that someone passionate about anime and manga can significantly increase its traffic and influence. The ideal buyer would be an anime and manga enthusiast looking for a long-term project. The business includes brand assets, domains, hosting accounts, and associated email accounts, plus a small social media following on Facebook and Twitter, with post-sale support available.
