Major otaku stores (Tora no Ana, Melonbooks, etc.) frequently display lists of their Top 10 bestselling doujinshi, but the most watched rankings are always the ones in the weeks following Comiket.
As Comiket 76 ended last week, there is the interesting opportunity to inspect these doujinshi rankings from three major Akihabara shops – Tora no Ana, Messe Sanoh and Melonbooks.
These rankings come via Akiba Hobby, which regularly keeps weekly records of such rankings.
These lists only apply to a specific brick and mortar store’s inventory (i.e., online sales excluded), and due to the underground nature of doujinshi publishing and the vagaries of the consignment system typically used to sell the books in these stores a huge discrepancy is obvious between the different store’s rankings, despite their relative proximity to each other.
Nonetheless, each of these stores have hundreds of different titles on hand at any given time, and their common customer base made up of the denizens of Akiba means these rankings should give some insight into C76 doujinshi are proving to be among the most popular now that all doujin stores are well stocked with books from the event.
The following lists are all from August 22 and are identified with the following syntax: Title [Circle] (Series)
Links to the circle’s websites are also provided where possible.

OMG!!!! Tatoeba Haha Ga After ? I've read 6 volumes of Tatoeba Haha Ga. I thought that's end. :D
DD when? XD
Touhou & Yuki Nagato FTW!!!
You can "you know what" most of these doujinshis in this link http://www.bakajojo.com/showthread.php?p=452210
Wow, after seeing the pictures, i had a seizure with a boner.
Any chance of an article on C76 Game rankings? Kinda curious what's out on this comiket. I am guessing Umineko probably top the chat.
From what it can be seen from the Melonbooks ranking, TH12.3 Hisoutensoku is in first place followed by SOUND HOLIC latest album, and then Umineko Ep.5
But Melonbooks seems to gather lots of touhou fans so it's probably biased.
I love Sago-Jou's art, is super detailed and the girls are great.
DD when XD
Touhou & Yuki Nagato FTW!!!
Hm. definitely interested in the Saki, and Bakemonogatari doujins >_>
Ugh. How can people find breasts that large attractive? Nice to see Touhou do well though.
better than them flat-breaded nipples...
Have you ever asked a group of people which is their favorite drink and got many different answers?
You can't judge other people's taste comparing them (subjectively) to your own...
Looks like pixel phantom's got problems with people claiming to be him/her/them on deviantART.
before there was rule 34 there was japan
Woo Nodoka get's her ero Doujin :3
Touhou's around too and the Cirno one looks cute.:3
That one with Yuki is so moe (the one that has her with the glasses and no nose). I'm not even a fan of Yuki (I prefer Mikuru honestly).
It's always interesting when people say that pornographic doujin is only a small part of comiket but only looks big because it's what gets scanned first. But really, you have to wonder when the most popular stuff that sells IS the pornographic stuff.
Ooh~ New To-LOV-Ru H-doujin from Ishkei~
Is there a website where I can buy some of them ?
TOUHOU PREVAILS!
I'd like to read those touhou doujin.
Why is it that this article jogs my memory of some other identical a single I just read in other places?
Where's my Saber Maido dress doujinshi with gorgeous rin?
Faggots don't know shit about good doujinshi, fuck this.
Fortunately I've already made my reservation from my fav artists
What the fuck! Needs moar loli.
Ok once again Ashita wa Docchi Da! made a gag doujin this time its saki woohoo more tacos power :3 Kinda surprised me that saki dominated over K-on. Senjougahara is hot on that cover in #6 :3
wheres ma SZS doujin D:
Monhan no erohon FTW!
"Note: This atypical doujin is actually a chibi 4-koma by a well known circle, which explains its popularity."
Actually, 2. 極東ハルシネイション ～魂魄妖夢の章～ / Kyokuto Hallucination ~Konpaku Youmu no Shou~ [FLIPFLOPs] (Touhou) and 7. 紫vs藍 総集編 / Yukari vs Ran [徒歩二分 / Tohonifun] (Touhou) are also well known circles. The Yukari vs Ran especially is the 6th book of a series of books. Both are none ero.
I forgot to add:
http://tohoni.blog4.fc2.com/ is the link to Tohonifun blog.
Thanks for the info - I wasn't terribly familiar with those Touhou books.
Also, I didn't mean to imply that the other doujinka were not also well known, as indeed many of those featured here are.
they'll be off on the net real soon,if not released already ;p
Oh yeah! Nodoka, I cant have enought Nodoka!!! :D
And of course, a Mio is always welcome!
PD: Lucky Saki!! I want Nodoka rest her chest in my head!! :P
Yes a new Victim Girls doujin. The art isn't amazing but i love the ideas. Perverted to the bone every time.
Oh yeah! Fatalpulse FTW!!
cirno doujinshi??!?!
Hooray for DIOXIN!
I believe it is non-ero. In fact, a lot of touhou doujinshi aren't rated R.
Simon Cowell of Eroge is moar gay than the one in TV
Thanks. It's about time I got trolled. I'll take that as a complement.
There's quite a few of them by that same guy , they all feature 4koma with really strange puns
Most of them have also been scanlated
Surprisingly little K-ON.
Also, the anotomy in that Nagato doujin (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/wp-content/gallery/misc-images-xxviii/comiket_76_doujinshi_sales_rankings_09.jpg) looks pretty bad.
Woohoooo.. Ishikei's most beloved Mikan on the 3rd :3
Extremely amazed that Nodoka's doujin is 2 steps higher than the one with Mio and Yui.. :3
Ah, new work from Ishikei. And a new MonHun doujinshi from udonya. Looks great!
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/wp-content/gallery/misc-images-xxviii/comiket_76_doujinshi_sales_rankings_24.jpg
is TsuyaTsuya's Tatoeba Haha Ga ~ After ~ A follow-up to his 6 volume manga of the same name . . .
NVN, the n/a wasn't in the space I though it was . . .
Where's my nuts&milk?
No Tony Taka doujin this comiket? :(
doujins are so badly drawn and unerotic that I wonder why any sad otaku fucker would waste their money on them in the first place
Here: Hentairules.net , click on 'Great Artists' under 'Categories' , have a nice day.
To the anonymous who things that all doujins are badly drawn. Just check the work of Kisaragi Gunma.
This guys work is better than normal manga. Amazing art.
Too bad i don't see any of his work in this lists.
You like to stereotype things don't you? Some circles are good, some aren't. The good things about doujins is the varying art styles; it caters to all sorts of tastes. If nothing caters to you, then you're either asexual, or you have a dysfunctional brain incapable of appreciating/understanding art.
You sir, shouldn't be here.
You fag anon doesn't even know what doujin is. Its a fan manga and like other fan-art, of course it not well drawn.
Now go back to your toilet and read Narushit manga.
Even namefags don't seem to know what a doujin is. The doujin is the group of people who produce doujinshi, which are self-published works. So yes the quality can be pretty rough sometimes, but established artists also produce doujinshi. I have several Range Murata doujinshi published by his Pasta's Estab kojin circle.
Touhou FTW
More Mikan! Yay! Next -> Yami
Not to make you sad or anything, but from a trusted source, To Love Ru is going to end this week @@ (Issue 40 of Shonen Jump)
I am going to miss Mikan =(
Trusted Source and coming from an anon ...
Does not compute ...
it's juz for the fan service, lolis and yami chan, nothing else
Wait so is the artist going back to his original and possibly continue Black Cat? I wouldn't mind if Eve is back...
Take my comment as a little bonus for yami-chan lovers!
http://community.livejournal.com/weeklyjump
TLR ends this week. No jokes. I had been following Jump for 4 years now and their rankings and such. I know my stuff~
Sad to hear about it.
To love ru isn't all that interesting to me though :/.
Dude, he's talking about Ishikei's doujin. Even if TLR has finally ended, Ishikei's still going to work on her.
Now i just noticed that i never seen any artwork of Yami drawn by Ishikei. Is he saving the best for the last....?
As far as I can tell, double posting = double fun... Happens to me when my damn server gets slow cause they have the double of clients the connection can support...
No ... I didn't know he's talking about the Doujin =.=
Since he likes Yami and Mikan that means he likes TLR, so I was telling him about the sudden ending of TLR. Jump usually tells their readers at least 2 to 3 issues ahead about any ending and new series, but people just found out TLR's ending yesterday. So it's very sudden.
you might want to check that http://bupo.jp/ishikei/

double post ftl (triple)
btw when will we be able to edit our posts... ?
^
MOE from Magpul ?
Anyways ...
Mikan & Yami yuri ... Now THAT would be a feast!
I hope so. Damn, Yami is so moe!
Hmm ... was suprised to see Saki dominate over K-ON! :0
Doesn't anyone prefer original stories like me?
I'll stick with my derivative garbage, thanks.
both suck but i like Saki more.
u suck dick.
do you want mine?
never knew saki had such hueg oppai
The girls suck dick in all these doujinshi.
Tho I must agree with KoHG... both Saki and K-ON are fanservice material moeblob animes.
i think there's such a thing as too big with boobs, and that saki doujin is one of em. saki ones all suck (in terms on what i'd like the art in my hentai to look like) except the one with the captain
btw, that nodoka one ftw! there's too much stuff on the main characters already
Okay, must find those doujins ASAP!!
it is already too late they had sago jou do the art work, so it was already a done deal (considering their art is quite popular)
I know, I know. You were expecting for Naruthongs, Brits or Want(to)-Piss stuffs,eh?
agreed
"Murasaki vs Ai"
That should be Yukari vs Ran and the circle name is Tohonifun.
Thank you - by the point I got to writing that one I was getting a bit careless.
wow! one of the store's has the MH Doujinshi as number 1... superb! im a big fan of game! XD
too much big breast x_x
I don't mind big breasts... but most of them are drawn almost like Bakunyus, which is really a turn-off for me.
+1
Dioxin I love you so much<3
....I wonder if thier newer works will get scanlated in the near future~? I sure wouldn't mind. So funneh<3
...and agreed- TOO big boob = not sexy
damn i wanna go back to japan already :(
do want +1
That Mikan one looks good. It's the only time we'll be seeing any more of her, since this weeks the last chapter of TLR. It's canceled.
Sauce PLZ.
I only used small images for the cover pics shown here - I don't have necessarily all of the doujin mentioned.
Apart from a few, all of these should be available easily by searching any of your favorite torrent sights with the names I took the time to include.
Bakemonogatari? Wow. I shouldn't be surprised, but I have to admit I am a little. Never fails to impress me how incredibly fast artists can crank out work.
I wonder what the ratio of adult vs. all audience doujin is at the typical Comiket. I'd imagine adult certainly has the vast majority, but..surely they're not ALL porn.
It's not even the majority, I'd say. It just depends on where you're looking.
My loot for Pervert Day had only 2 hentai doujinshi in it, the rest of it was original illustration books and arts and crafts.
When I entered the H section and saw the sea of porn-purchasing men I just turned around and went home...
Yea, I would feel uncomfortable in that situation too. Mail order is just much more convenient, even if it meant a couple days of waiting.
Fuck yeah Mahjong tits.
