Tsundero is overrated. As is Shoujo Material.

Makes sense that Imoten and Groove Tube ended up on the bottom, though.

Pleased to see that Higashiyama Shou made it on the top 10. Gift is not for everyone, but it’s probably my pick for 2008. I love Sekiya Asami too (and she’s pretty cute IRL; yeah Fat Cat Lim, “her” artstyle indeed) but her female characters in YOUR DOG come off as a bit creepy for some reason.

Oh, and Shoujo Material is overrated.

I misunderstood your post since you weren’t quite clear on the “shockingly high” part. Sorry. ^^;

Rin? As in Comic Rin? I always thought it was one of the better lolicon anthologies to rival Comic LO for its “moe-moe” art style (though Comic LO content has more diverse art styles). Sekiya Asami is one of the more notable artists to debut from Comic Rin with her(?) clean artstyle, and I’ve been following her work since.

I merely meant that it placed much higher than I thought it would. Not that it was undeserving, just surprising. Rin is one of their smaller labels.

Umm… where did licensing come into this? @_@;

“Shockingly high?” What do you mean? Demand for Your Dog, or objection to it being published in the US due to its lolicon content?

Despite coming from our benevolent licensor, imo Your Dog is shockingly high, especially considering how much material Akaneshinsha releases in that sub-genre that were, errrrm, more “powerful” shall we say.

Tsundero may have had an unfair advantage since, having been released not two months ago, it’s fresh on reader’s minds. Like how some movies are held until the end of the Oscar season.

The picture’s actually from Shoujo Material, it’s in b&w in the actual book, but you get an extra booklet with that piece of art in colour if you bought Shoujo Material from Tora.

Yeah I’ll like to know too :P

Hmm difference in tastes. I’d agree that Shoujo Material should be top, if not Digital Lover’s Seifuku Rakuen series.

What work does the picture on top of the post belong to?

Takamichi Love Works isn’t even an eromanga…it’s mainly just compilation of his LO artworks.

It’s a nice artbook, but it’s no eromanga.
