[edit] Introduction
According to Fanfiction Glossary:
Self-published or non-mainstream published mangas; some have original characters but others are based on pre-existing series and thus count as fanfic. Many doujinshi are created by groups of artists called doujinka.[1]
For fans not living in Japan, doujinshi is typically bought through web sites, such as Ebay or through specialty sites like JPQueen, or at conventions.
[edit] Influential Doujinka
The manga art team Clamp began as doujinshi artists.[2] The artist K. Haruka has done many Vincent Valentine-based doujinshi.
Manga artist Mikiyo Tsuda has done many doujinshi, including for her own series The Day of Revolution.
Manga artist Fumi Yoshinaga has done many yaoi and shonen-ai doujinshi, including for her series Antique Bakery.
