Canned Dogs

Data is collected using Mangaoh Club’s adult comics list. The definition of adult comic refers to the comics that have the label saying that the comic is for adults only.

Anthologies are not included in counting the number of titles, but stuff such as limited edition, renewed edition , special edition etc are counted separately instead of being treated as the same title.

Also this only deals with number of titles and not the number of books that were printed per title.

Year	Number of titles	Average Price
2002	610	930 yen
2003	627	957 yen
2004	636	964 yen
2005	668	978 yen
2006	684	1,004 yen
2007	639	997 yen
2008	625	1,021 yen
2009	587	1,064 yen

There has a decrease in number of titles 2009, though nobody can say for sure if it’s because of the recession or political stuff or otherwise.

Shoubunkan has gone from being at right at the top of the charts in 2002-2008 down to near bottom at 2009. News had gotten out a while back that Shoubunkan was going to withdraw from the eromanga industry and I guess they’re already almost completely out of eromanga.

It’s not known if their quitting from eromanga had anything to do with that case where the Shoubunkan chairman was fined for 1.5 million yen (originally a 1 year jail sentence before appeal) over eromanga censorship.

The other significant one probably being Touen Shobou and Tsukasa Shobou going bankrupt and dying in 2007.
