We have previously talked about how productive the hentai industry in Japan can be, with some artists raking in millions of yen in sales from just one post. And that is what brings us together today, since Anon 2-Okunen became a trend recently after it was discovered that one of his most recent works has added millions of yen in income.
It turns out that digital sales platforms such as FANZA and DLsite list the number of digital copies sold of each of the published hentai mangas. It turns out that “Imouto no Tomodachi ga Dosukebe Taishuu Fechi Sugite, Inkya no Ore to Kikenbi Nakadashi Hamemakuri“, the hentai doujinshi that recently attracted attention, is listed with the following numbers:
- DLsite – 22,536 digital copies sold at an average price of 1,210 yen each, which translates to 27,268,560 yen (more than 180 thousand US dollars).
- FANCY – 43,875 digital copies sold at an average price of 1,210 yen each, which translates to 53,088,750 yen (more than 352 thousand US dollars).
Adding both figures together, the amount of money from sales is truly impressive. We certainly do not know what their profits were (that is, how much the author loses in commissions to sales platforms, printing expenses, assistant salaries, etc.), but even if we considered that they have profits of 50 percent, the amount of no It stops being totally incredible.

- «As much as AI evolves, those who believe they can fool the public by trying to sell a doujinshi made with this technology are completely wrong. The illustrations are very nice, but making a doujinshi is another story».
- «The hentai industry has been said to be profitable for more than ten years. I’m about to make millions of yen thanks to erotic illustrations».
