[edit] Introduction
Doujinshi are Japanese comic books (manga) drawn by fans. Most feature noncanon relationships, particularly yaoi and yuri couples; hentai doujinshi are also incredibly popular.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.
