What is Doujinshi？


Doujinshi, or fan-made magazines, refer to self-published magazines created by individuals or groups who share an interest in a particular work or theme. This allows for the creation of innovative and interesting works that might be challenging for companies. Doujinshi covers a wide range of genres, not limited to anime and manga but also including history, religion, philosophy, and more, showcasing their diversity.

Recently, popular doujinshi can be easily purchased through events and online shopping. Popular doujin works sometimes evolve into anime or other media. For example, Touhou Project, the Fate series, Higurashi When They Cry, and more. Recently, some works originated in Doujinshi like Onimai: I'm Now Your Sister! and 16bit Sensation Another Layer got anime adaptations.
