EROMANGA
HALL OF FAME

A hall built on the store-sales records of the years before e-books. The 374 works that charted on the annual "Ero-Manga Bestseller" rankings of Toranoana's Akihabara store (2008–2022) and the FY2004 annual chart. Ordering follows the overall score (Dendo Score) — medal points (each year's 1st = 3, 2nd = 2, 3rd = 1) plus an all-time bonus (up to 3 points by position in Toranoana's official all-time sales best 100). Because the scale of store sales varied greatly across the years, the all-time best 100 supplies a correction of absolute sales across eras. Only annual charts are counted (no annual chart was held for 2022, so its first half counts as an annual equivalent at a factor of 0.5). The original tables, first halves included, are in the Yearbook. The top three of the reader-voted 2channel Ero-Manga Awards are displayed as labels (they play no part in selection).

Source: the Toranoana in-store charts (reconstructed from records published on Akiba Blog). A record of real sales in a physical store — a kind of record that will never be made again. Titles link to their DLsite digital editions (where these exist). "Also in the digital hall" means the same work is also inducted into the Commercial Works Hall (the hall built on digital rating records).
