It's a highly demanded niche, but like Gideon said, it's hard for the major sponsors to properly get on board.
My guess is it has to do with the amount of content available out there. There isn't enough. Some sites' members area don't have much. I guess they use their toon signups in hopes of getting people into the rest of their "network" of sites, the non-toon/hentai stuff.

Every day I get requests to do toon content. Problem is I don't have the time.
Getting good cartoonists is rare. Doing adult entertainment takes knowledge and if you don't know what you're doing the toons look tarded-out.
There's also the major danger of buying content that's not legit. I can't count how many times I've been on the phone with pals in Japan about their stuff being blasted all over the web without their permission.
Some guys hire cheap labor in the far east and pay the artists a pittance. Then the work looks crappy and sales are shit.
Good work, good allies in the business will always win out. Listening to what the surfers want is also a big, big step forward. I have to cover over 10 niches alone and still can't keep up with demand. I would have to draw 12 hours a day for a year straight just to catch up with demand.
Good news is if you do get that niche solid, the surfers stay and stay and stay.
There are some great cartoonists out there. Best thing to do is get in touch with them, no agencies or reps, and negotiate a package. Sometimes instead of money I'll trade for traffic or equipment or other parlays. It really turns out great! I've gotten free hotels, tools, tickets etc.
Barter system is still a good system.
So the key is to shop and do due diligence with whom you purchase from.
I was going to build a site for ARS but I've got lots of work to catch up on and new computer programs to study.
