Previously: Gendered 2024 reads.
This is slightly less male-skewed than the previous year.
The data has the same limitations as last year:
I mostly blindly assigned “male” to hentai authors (although the few names that I checked showed no false positive);
there is no ponderation by length or anything; this is a count of entries, some of which are multi-hundred-page novels that I will remember for a long time, and others may be 32-page comic issues that are best forgotten;
I suspect that comics colorists are frequently women, but their contributions have historically rarely been recognized on covers.
