shin isn't as marketable as guts, musashi or other seinin main characters. like imagine if there was a comic about a roman legionnaire, it just wouldn't be popular in japan

You could have finished your sentence here. Reading manga is still nowhere near as big as watching anime, and even people who "follow" manga just have channels on youtube or tiktok tell them whats happening in the manga.
