Toranoana Comiket Sales Banzuke a Summit of Titans

D.L. domination as the smoke clears from the Tiger Hole

With the closing of Comic Market 84, certainly the hottest Comiket on record temperature-wise if not content-wise, Toranoana Akihabara, that de facto retail mecca of doujin pilgrims, has finally posted their ranking banzuke of the top-selling doujinshi to debut at the event, and what it lacks in surprises it more than makes up in impeccable erotic craftsmanship.  With special thanks to Akiba Blog for providing the knowledge and the images, let's check the banzuke!

Comic Market 84: Kohakutei / 琥珀亭 / Sakai Hamachi

What's old is new again

I first became a fan of Sakai Hamachi's Kohatukei after reading his 2008 pair of Spice and Wolf parodies and have been a casual follower of the circle's work since.  The circle tends to over-exaggerate his characters' bodies just slightly, lending a little extra heft to all the juicy bits without getting grotesque (though some need no additional assistance in that regard) and, if I'm being honest, I enjoy that he doesn't make all of his girls hairless naifs, and he draws a pretty darned erotic erection to boot. 

Kohakutei has a pair of ero doujin in store for fans at Comiket 84.  Confusion Level Q looks to reboot the circle's long-running Evangelion books, disengaging from the Asuka x Shinji pairing of their six Confusion Level A parody books of the original TV series, which came out in a trickle between 2007 and 2012, to instead join the timeline of the series-reimagining films.

The circle's second C84 offering, StarDust Scene2, continues the Precure! parody story the circle began at Comiket 83 last December.
