Speaking to Dan Tri reporter, Kim Dong Publishing House said that on the first day of release, the book series Queen of Egypt (new name: Royal Seal ) was "sold out" at bookstores nationwide. Online sales channels were also in "waiting status" or "out of stock".
"To promptly serve readers near and far, the first five volumes of The Queen of Egypt have been ordered to be reprinted," said Kim Dong Publishing House.
The Queen of Egypt series officially hit shelves on August 23. In the first release, 5 volumes hit shelves at the same time, each with 15,000 copies. The publisher sold 75,000 copies on the first day of release.

The first volume of The Queen of Egypt comes with a postcard. Readers who buy the 5-volume set early will receive a poster.
Depending on the number of books distributed, each store will flexibly adjust the maximum number of books for each order, so that a large number of readers can buy books.
On the first day of sale, the series received positive response from fans.
In the group "Egyptian Queen Fanatics" with more than 130,000 members, the discussion focused on "hunting" and showing off photos of the book from their childhood. Many readers expressed regret for not being able to buy the book on the first day of release.
Since early May, Kim Dong Publishing House announced that the comic book series associated with the childhood of the 8X and 9X generations, Queen of Egypt, will be reprinted from the first volume under the title Royal Seal.

The series had to postpone its publication date due to the designer's "slip of the tongue" when he made controversial statements about the work.
Taking into account readers' opinions, the unit made a completely new cover, not depending on the original or old designs. This decision received a positive response from fans of the series.
According to Kim Dong Publishing House, the new cover has many "Egyptian" highlights, balancing the space and layout to keep as much of the author's illustrations as possible. The Royal Seal logo is harmonious and easily attracts readers when searching for the series on the bookshelf.
"In addition, the stylized back cover and inside cover will also create excitement for readers," said the publisher's representative.
Queen of Egypt (original title Ōke no Monshō ), author Chieko Hosokawa, released in 1976, sold 36 million copies in Japan as of 2006. The story has been adapted into an animated film and musical.
The main character is Carol, a 16-year-old American girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, studying archaeology in Cairo, Egypt.
A curse sends Carol back to ancient Egypt, where she encounters Memphis, a young and powerful pharaoh. They fall in love and face many challenges together.
