Hentai Manga Sales Turn into Luxury Cars

Mannno is the creator behind the adult manga series Iribitari Gal ni Manko Tsukawasete Morau Hanashi, which currently has four volumes and an ongoing anime adaptation. And it seems his series has made him a lot of money—seriously, a lot!

Hentai Manga Sales Turn into Luxury Cars

Using the profits from his hentai manga sales, Mannno became the talk of the otaku community after posting a photo of his garage, showcasing two stunning (and undoubtedly expensive) cars.

“The garage is amazing, I’m happy,” he said while sharing the picture.

People were obviously impressed. Did he really make that much just from selling hentai manga? Was hentai money used to buy these luxury cars?

The screenshot above shows the current price of each volume of Iribitari Gal ni Manko Tsukawasete Morau Hanashi and the number of copies sold. Calculating based on the current prices, each volume generated:

• Volume 1: 190,240,050 yen ($1,266,000)
• Volume 2: 174,130,110 yen ($1,160,000)
• Volume 3: 138,485,600 yen ($924,000)
• Volume 4: 104,720,220 yen ($699,000)

These are gross figures, excluding store fees, taxes, and other deductions. Still, it’s an impressive amount! Let’s see how people reacted to this news:

• “If you add everything up, it’s around a million copies.”
• “If that turns into direct revenue instead of royalties, it’s a huge amount.”
• “Nowadays, the possibility of reaching this level with AI is incredible.”
• “Just generating with AI isn’t enough. People have become more critical, so they won’t accept anything.”
• “The art is really good. Of course, it sells well.”
• “Are people really paying that much for this? I always thought hentai readers just pirated everything.”
• “I heard that when a doujin artist moves to commercial magazines, their income drops drastically, and they get overworked.”
• “How do they handle taxes?”
• “How much does DLsite take as a commission on sales?”
• “I heard that since AI-generated works are now flooding the market at 5 yen, smaller artists are earning less and less.”
• “This guy is at the absolute top, like winning the lottery.”
• “The problem with luxury cars is maintenance costs.”
• “Alright, I’m quitting my job to become a hentai manga artist!”
• “We can’t forget that these guys are the elite of the elite.”

May Mannno continue to thrive and create more of his highly successful series.
