Does anyone know how popular the series is in Japan? I would love for there to be an anime adaptation of Genbu someday, but it does depend on the fan base and popularity.

(Seeing how Akatsuki no Yona is another shoujo manga that recently got adapted, I'm hoping that there might be a chance for Genbu Kaiden to have an anime in the future too.)

69K in first week is not that high.

Since it's finished the possibility is extremely low, almost none.

Ah thank you!

Still, with the news of the Byakko manga and the original Fushigi Yuugi stage plays, I feel as though they're trying to bring the series back. There have also been a lot more completed manga receiving anime adaptations this past year (i.e. Parasyte), so there could still be a chance. The manga sales are pretty decent for a shoujo manga too.

I guess we can always hope.

The hype die out for this series because of all the hiatus. There wasn't even an anime adaption for it. There's only a one shot for Byako. I think the author lost interest and publishers probably won't print something that won't sell well.

Byakko senki is out continuing from both Genbu Kaiden and Byakko ibun. If it's popular then maybe they'll make another anime for it and her older works like alice 19. Zettai was adapted in to a live action.
