On the contrary, it seems that dōjinshis have been doing relatively well. The Comic Market, or better known as the Comiket, which is held twice a year in summer and in winter, is the world's biggest dōjinshi marketplace. The Comic Market 83 which was held at Tokyo Big Sight from December 29 to 31 was attended by a total of 550,000 people for 3 days -- the record attendance for the winter edition of the event. According to a past study, the average amount each male attendee spends on merchandise is \33,740 while females spend \30,100. It is estimated that the 3-day event has an economic effect of over \15 billion. It seems that the outlook of the dōjinshi market is relatively bright, as the Japanese dream of "being a popular manga artist and have a huge mansion built" is still well and alive.
But the sad reality is that only a handful of professional anime and game creators get to earn 10~100 million annually. The basic pay a newbie manga artist receives is around \4,000 to \6,000 per manuscript for a Shojo manga while it's \5,000 to \8,000 for a shonen and young adult manga. It's also common for a semi-popular manga artist who has a regular manga in a popular manga magazine to only be earning around \2 million a year. There's no way these people will be able to have houses built with that amount.
But on the contrary, there are a lot of dōjin mangakas who earn over 10 million a year. This is because their mangas are sold directly; the mangaka may have to shoulder the printing and shipping costs, but without publishers and distributors in the way, almost all the profit go to the artist himself.
And since the sales figures are not made public, there are also some who fake their taxes. There was actually a dōjin mangaka who was busted in 2007 for not declaring his true income. He earned \200 million for 3 years, but only declared 20 million in earnings. He was arrested for evading taxes that amounted to \67.5 million.
Even through simple calculation, this mangaka earned \66.6 million a year. Even most presidents of major, first-rate companies do not earn this much. And what's more surprising is that there were over 300 mangakas who earn on a similar level, or even higher, at the Comiket.
Just how many manga artists are earning over 60 million a year, even as commercial manga magazines have been disappearing? It's just natural that there are more mangakas who haven't been making their magazine debut, and are just settling to go on with dōjinshis.

Are they really earning more than professional mangakas who have an ongoing series? - 81: 名無しさん＠１３周年 2014/02/04(火) 19:09:19.34 ID:9dFPBy/k0
- >>5人によるけどそういうケースもあるっていうだけまあ圧倒的に多い持ち出しの素人が分母としてあるわけだが1回プロとして露出した後、または微妙なラインの現役のまま同人で稼いでるプロも多い中にはプロとしての仕事を宣伝と割り切ってる人さえいるというつか上の記事にある300人以上の中にも含まれてそうな気がするIt depends on the person, but there are cases like that.
It's just that there's a vast amount of amateurs who are making up the denominator.
There are a lot of mangakas who earn through dōjin despite going pro at least once, or those who are active pros but aren't making it big. There are even some people who just consider their pro work as their advertising vehicle.
I think that these guys are included in the 300 people mentioned in the article above. - 8: 名無しさん＠１３周年 2014/02/04(火) 18:59:24.89 ID:ugFYPndR0

- 同人誌って売れてる漫画をパクってエロ漫画にしてるんだろ？その上脱税とか、ゴミ屑みたいな連中だな。But dōjinshis are the ones that copy the popular mangas and apply sexual themes, right?
And they're evading tax on top of that? Those people must are really scum.

Even Dragonball's Akira Toriyama must be on an insane level. He also has Dr. Slump, so he's not a 1-hit wonder. How much does he earn just with that single slime on Dragon Quest?

Well, it also means that since the good and popular artists are going for dōjin, there are a lot of other mangakas and illustrators getting jobs in commercial mangas. And if dōjins get eradicated from the world for some reason and all these artists head on over to commercial mangas, I get the feeling that there will also be a lot of people who will cease to get jobs. - 27: 名無しさん＠１３周年 2014/02/04(火) 19:02:24.03 ID:I+T8VEUy0

Even most of the "original mangakas" went through the same path, and if you want to earn money then just go and stick to dōjins, that's it. But there's no honor and reputation to being a dōjin creator. - 30: 名無しさん＠１３周年 2014/02/04(火) 19:02:45.47 ID:DtAhvtVk0
