The Dōjinshi boom... Dōjinshi mangakas earning more than professionals

1: 影のたけし軍団ρ ★ 2014/02/04(火) 18:57:01.12 ID:???0

People have been saying that the depression in the publishing industry is caused by the youth becoming alienated from print, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Even manga hasn't been selling well. Just in February of 2013, one of the oldest mangas, Manga Sunday discontinued publication. According to a study, there have been 23 manga magazines that disappeared in 2010, 10 in 2011, and 14 in 2012.

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.

Osamu Tezuka's daughter comments on Yuko Oshima and gets bashed by AKB fans

1： なまコンφ ★ 2013/09/26(木) 00:31:10.87 ID:???0

(Summary)

* Drama Kami-sama no Beret Bō ~ Tezuka Osamu no Black Jack Sōsaku Hiwa 
* Rumiko Tezuka, Osamu Tezuka's daughter, commented on the drama on Twitter: "The more they feature Yuko Oshima, the more Osamu Tezuka and Editor-in-chief Kabemura's presence in the drama fades and loses impact..."
* Rumiko Tezuka was bashed on AKB fansites because of this.
* Rumiko answers back on Twitter: "I didn't even diss Yuko Oshima nor AKB, yet I'm being bashed by AKB fans!"
* Rumiko further comments: "I'm not dissatisfied with Yuko Oshima being cast here, not at all. In fact, I'm grateful."
* She kept tweeting throughout the show, such as, "My father drew 5x faster than your average manga artist, but in return, he accepts 10x more work", when the scene in the drama showed the editors saying that Tezuka Osamu wasn't finishing his work on time.
* The manga artists she knew were also tweeting as the show progressed, but Rumiko suddenly tweeted: "It seems like the manga artists watching the show are giving up on it one after another...". Then when Osamu on the drama said, "If I can do it, then so can you", Rumiko once again tweeted: "To the manga artists who stopped watching, this is where the important message lies!"
