Comic[]

The magazine was created in 1994 with work such as that of Range Murata during a trend of changing art styles in anime and manga.[2]: 103  Comic Kairakuten's name is a pun of kairaku (快楽, pleasure) and rakuten (楽天, optimism), meaning "pleasure heaven". It limits itself mostly to vanilla content.[3]: 11  Comic Kairakuten's publisher, Wanimagazine, has a hard stance towards fan translations of their hentai manga, often taking them down.[4]: 19 

Kairakuten is one of the most popular erotic manga magazines in Japan.[3]: 11  Between October 2008 and September 2009, the comic put 350,000 copies in circulation.[5] Between October 2009 and September 2010, the distributed amount did not change.[6]
