<p>There is a con in Japan called Comiket. This con is held twice a year. There are like a hundred of circles/booths that sell their merchandise.</p>

<p>I wonder how much cost for the production of their fan-made manga and artbook/illustatrion book. </p>

<ul>
<li>The price for a doujinshi manga is around  $20 - $40 based on this <a href="https://otakurepublic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=468744&amp;type=header_tab" rel="nofollow noreferrer">site</a></li>
<li>The price for illustration book is around $15 - $50 based on this
<a href="https://otakurepublic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=405&amp;type=header_tab" rel="nofollow noreferrer">site</a></li>
</ul>

<p>according that, how much the production cost ? </p>

Apparently it costs about ¥9000 ($90) to register as a circle and get a table at Comiket. Everything else it going to depend a lot the actual participant.

The answer would depend on what kind of product you are trying to make. Registration cost is 9000¥ according to Ross. But for the production it would depend on what you make. A game? A manga book? Is the game voiced? Who are your co-workers? Are you hiring professionals? Or just amateurs, classmates? Transport also depends on where do you live. The further, the more expensive.

I suspect given the nature of the product being sold, doujinshi, most circles are just hoping to break even on their direct production costs. It's a hobby, not something that pays the rent. I found some actual numbers, but note the profit and loss numbers are for an entire year, including sales and costs outside of Comiket: http://fanhackers.transformativeworks.org/2012/06/how-much-money-do-doujinshi-creators-actually-make-some-statistics-from-comiket/

Those prices mostly reflect the cost of shipping things overseas from Japan. At Comiket, doujinshi publications are offered for sale at a much lower price, usually ¥300-¥600 ($3-$6) according to the article I linked.
