It’s 2018 already! How did that happen? Why don’t we take a moment at the beginning of this new year to reflect on the year that just ended––

We released another 15 games this year, including our first 18+ otome title, the second half of Umineko, and sequels to two extremely popular MOONSTONE games, and announced 17 more. We brought more wonderful guests to Anime Expo, like Itaru Hinoue who we’re working with to create an all-new game. We ended the year with successful Humble Bundle where we raised money for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the Electronic Frontier Foundation!

Now, onto what you’re all really here for––the top 10 of the year (*note: none of these rankings include bundle sales):

MangaGamer.com 1st Party 2017 Top 10

Steam 2017 Top 10

MOONSTONE dominates again with all four of their titles in the top 10. EROGE! is hanging on making an appearance in the top 10 for the fifth year in a row. Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome made a strong showing, taking the #4 slot on our store and making it to the top 10 of our Steam sellers this year. And speaking of Steam, the top 10 has shifted around a little bit but remains pretty consistent overall (note: Higurashi has been collected as one because otherwise individual chapters would take up half the top 10 and that wouldn’t be very interesting to look at).

MangaGamer.com 3rd Party 2017 Top 5

And on the 3rd party side, surprising no one I’m sure, Huniepop continues to be the reigning champ of 3rd party. Will any other title ever be able to take the crown?

Well, that’s it for 2017! Were there any releases from this past year that you particularly enjoyed? Let us know in the comments! We’ll be back next week with our annual licensing survey so get your suggestions ready~
