How does the popularity of an anime adaptation affect the sales of the original 'Ma' manga?

An anime adaptation almost always significantly boosts the sales of the original manga. Increased exposure to a wider audience, coupled with the anime's popularity, drives demand for the source material. This is particularly true for series like 'Madoka Magica' and 'Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei', where the anime adaptations led to substantial increases in manga sales and recognition.
