Sales of Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy' have skyrocketed by 130% in Japan, largely due to its association with the popular mobile game Fate/Grand Order.

Kawade Shobō Shinsha, a prominent Japanese publisher, is urgently reprinting the book to meet the overwhelming demand spurred by the game's popularity.

The publisher acknowledged the unexpected shortage of copies and the significant impact of Fate/Grand Order on the book's sales in a recent social media announcement.

Fate/Grand Order, which has been popular since its release a decade ago, has maintained its appeal through various spinoffs and recently gained renewed interest with its storyline involving Dante.

The game's latest storyline, Ordeal Call IV: Tribunal of Humanity - Trinity Metatronius, features Dante as a summonable servant, further fueling interest in the literary classic.

The reprinted edition of 'The Divine Comedy' will include illustrations by Gustave Doré, a celebrated 19th-century French artist known for his iconic depictions of Dante's work.

The complete edition of the book, priced at 5,900 yen, is particularly popular among buyers for its illustrations that closely resemble those featured in the game.

Originally completed in 1321, 'The Divine Comedy' is a monumental work in world literature that continues to be influential and is still taught in Italian schools.

This epic poem chronicles Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, guided by the Roman poet Virgil and later by his idealized love, Beatrice.

In Fate/Grand Order, Dante humorously comments on his own status as a summonable character, adding a unique meta twist to his portrayal.

The game is available on multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, iPadOS, and arcades, making it accessible to a wide audience.
