Comiket 80 is not far off, and with the participating circle numbers and types duly tallied up, observers have noted the event is now all but monopolised by Touhou fans and fujoshi…
The circle numbers in detail, based on 2ch’s analysis of the recently released catalogue:
Touhou – 2808
Hetalia – 1302
Basara – 870
Reborn – 572
VOCALOID – 558
Gintama – 486
Prince of Tennis – 468
IdolMaster – 418
Inazuma Eleven – 408
Durarara - 380
Lyrical Nanoha - 370
Nintama Rantaro – 308
One Piece – 288
NARUTO – 286
K-ON! – 246
Madoka – 236
FMA – 202
Big Windup! – 200
BLEACH – 181
Gundam 00 – 178
Code Geass – 150
Although no single title can come close to the dominance of Touhou, the collective might of the fujoshi horde crushes them easily underfoot – with moeblob fans barely registering at all.

That's a lot of Touhou.
For the Zun then
Zun must be proud. :)
He aint getting richer though
did not remember he saying he wanted to get rich.
Last time I heard he wasn't really happy about how the fans depict the characters he created.. Hopefully i'm wrong because that sucks if he really do.
well, he did say that anybody can use it as long as they acknowledge him back. I don't think he had any intention of making himself rich from touhou lol.
He just wanted to get dunk, people. Not rich.
@Maidniac
He actually uses fan depictions of characters then use it as official. That's probably why it got so popular. Because fans can do whatever cool shit they want with the characters and ZUN just makes it official, making the fans officially contributing to Touhou.
I couldn't say better my self,anon3.
also did remember him saying he made this to be fan friendly
I wouldn't have minded more Vocaloid in there... but I can't really complain.
I want me some Nanoha doujins...
Me too! There were scores when I went to Comiket 77. So much so that I believe a whole section of a hall was devoted to nothing but Nanoha.
But I guess that could have been attributed to the movie.
Wish I lived in Japan. T_T
what do you mean by scores?
scores as in lots
Nanoha yeaaaaahhhhh
Well there are 370 there. I'm sure only 368 of them are granny porn.
More like 368 of them will be girls chastely holding hands and blushing at each other. The other two will be granny porn.
Comic 1-5 had jack shit for Nanoha doujinshi. I'm amazed there's still this much at Comiket.
Oh right, you're right there.
Nah, most of it won't be porn at all, but "girls chastely holding hands and blushing at each other."
It's just that porn is more likely to get scanned and put on the internet.
I'm sure all of it is scanned and put up on the internet. The porn is just all we look for.
Not me personally, but, then, I barely know what nanoha is.
Nah, he's right, the porn is more likely to get scanned, and even a good portion of the porn will remain unscanned.
If you start looking into buying doujinshi on Toranoana, MelonBooks, or Mandarake, you'll find a lot that you won't be able to find scans for. And those are ones that can still be purchased; things that sold out extremely fast might even be less likely to have been scanned because no one got two copies so they could destroy one to share with people on the Internet.
There are a lot of factors that go into it, like the cheap cost of books, the fact that people are less likely to pirate stuff that people are basically selling for cost anyway, and much more. A big one though, is that people outside of Japan (especially the large number that can't read Japanese) are interested in porn and not in what are essentially fan fiction comics or comedy that won't even be funny if someone bothers to translate them.
Touhou vs Fujoshi. Whoever wins, we lose.
...coming to cinemas this Fall.
I don't understand how this is judged so equally with the fujoshi exactly... how do we know all of them are yaoi beyond Hetalia (which even has some females in it from what I understand)? Granted it's a large chunk, but that still doesn't explain to me how they came to that decision. Granted I'm probably missing some kind of information :)
". Granted I'm probably missing some kind of information :)"
Considering this is Sankaku, realy, news items missing some information is more common than daylight...
Hence my admission ^^ But considering the source is 2ch, it's like secondhand retardation.
Sankaku would actually be an incredible location for a social study of misunderstanding actually. Someone could easily derive thesis material from Artefact and 2ch conspiring to make sure everyone's an idiot.
@House Life
It's not just Hetalia.
It's Basara and Reborn too. Basara has a rather large periphery demographic of women due to it's character designs and majority of males over females. And Reborn is another in the long line of Shounen that attract a lot of female fans due to it's character designs, and the close relationships of the male cast (Kuroshitsuji, Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho are/were in similar boats for similar reasons).
There are others fujoshi have a love of on this list as well, but I'm giving attenttion to the ones I said because those are the top 3 if you exclude Touhou, and because I don't feel like creating a massive text wall like I normally do.
I still find it kinda amusing in an odd way how Reborn has evolved into one of the top fujoshi/BL franchise.. considering the initial chapters actually were all about the main guy trying to date a girl in his class who he had a crush with.. and running amok in boxer shorts.
Reborn was never anywhere near BL. People seem to think that attractive male characters automatically make a manga BL. The artist has never catered to any sort of BL behavior or fandom (unlike the artists of Naruto or Code Geass.)
@anon 12:28:
Most people don't automatically assume a predominantly male cast leads to "Yamete, Oshiri Itai". Yet when most fujoshi think and make that happen, other decent folks can't help but wonder if history's gonna repeat itself.
Also, I think there might be a couple of so wicked fujoshi out there who'll turn anything into BL.
Something like "Touhou futa (blech) taken a step further".
Sure, Hetalia has female characters (like three or something? I don't pay much attention to the show/fandom), but the fangirls just like to obsess over all the male characters instead, so there might as well just not be any females at all.
Touhou vs Fujoshi. If fujoshi win, we RIOT!!!
Fix'd
C'mon Touhou fans, kick some fujoshi asses.
Hetalia actually has about..7 or 8 female characters plus all the 'Nyotalia' versions (Genderbend of most of the male characters); there's enough hentai and yuri, but yes, those circles are probably mostly dedicated to yaoi..
FUJOSHIS MUST be kick down
I guess you haven't seen most of the shows on that list, or else you would know :)
Hetalia – Speaks for itself
Basara – Engrish bishounen riding horses
Reborn – Main male cast filled with idiots
Gintama – Sexy silver perms and badass jp history parody characters
Prince of Tennis – Shota playing tennis
Inazuma Eleven – Ultra shota soccer players show
Durarara - Interesting sexy male cast
Gundam 00 – Ore wa Fujoshi.. uhh Gundam da
Code Geass – For the skinny guy fetishists
Could have missed some, but count just these and you're already over 4000.
NARUTO – Sasuke-x-Naruto, squeel squeel.
FMA – Mustang violating Ed, squeel squeel.
Big Windup! – Boys playing baseball, squeel squeel.
BLEACH – Ichigo-x-Renji-x-Hitsugaya-x-etc, squeel squeel.
Yea, that's what I can think of seeing those titles up there..
You know you need to calm your yaoiness down. I never thought you'd say something like that, and that's so out-of-character of you. No disrespect but Victorique doesn't like the fact that some of her loyal fans like yaoi.
Err.. seriously, did everyone actually mistook the comment as me being a yaoi fangirl? I merely just state out how fujoshi would react to those franchise. Don't believe me? Go to Deviantart and simply type down a journal about those pairings. In less than an hour, you'll get the same exact reaction.
PS: This came from the one and only person in the universe who despise Sebastian Mikaelis. I do adore Shizuo though.
Apparently, Big Windup! has a huge fujoshi following.
And I can't imagine all the under-aged yaoi fuel Inazuma Eleven truly has. Since it's like 99% male characters..
shonen manga is for big girl
Alien Vs Jason reference.
I hate TouHou and I hate "Hetalia" even more. Glad I'm a Horror, FanService, MOE loving anime fan.
>MOE loving
>I hate TouHou
>does not compute
Inazuma Eleven – 408
408 people do not like fujoshi....
This is the list of circles (circle = doujin making people or groups), not a list of people attending, quite obviously. Hundreds of thousands of people attend Comiket.
"Inazuma Eleven – 408" means there's 408 circles putting out doujinshi of boy on boy for Inazuma Eleven. (Because that's all there is for that series, small kids and fujoshi are the only ones watching it...)
Haha, Nanoha, constantly producing yuri doujinshi since 2004 and no sight of stopping.
You can categorize Comiket like this:
1) Fujoshi
2) Touhou
3) Nanoha
4) Popular anime of the last months: K-On!, Madoka etc
I don't really mind it
Who you're lying to?
Fujoshi comes last u prick.
Rantaro #12
I amaze of fujoshi imagination.
