dojinshi (Page 2)
Artist meets fan who loves his work yet can’t buy it, but not because she can’t afford it.
Japanese fans sound off on things that used to be a normal part of the otaku life, but aren’t anymore.
Lucky bags always make January a great time to go shopping in Japan, but it’s the prime dojinshi-buying time for a very different reason.
Do you want money? Fame? For these developers, it’s all about the erotic fan art (although fame and money probably wouldn’t hurt).
System is easy for allies to understand, but invisible to everyone else.
Attendees at this month’s otaku gathering can get their hands on not just art books and posters, but limited-edition prophylactics too.
Just because you like dirty dojinshi doesn’t mean you can’t have a clean room.
Hardcore fans brave the elements and the crowds by lining up hours before start of dojinshi comic event.
Taiwanese otaku recently greeted Tsai Ing-wen with shouts of “Kirishima!”, which is causing problems for some dojinshi artists.
Whether you call it Comic Market, Comiket, or Comike, the twice-a-year event is the largest gathering of creators and fans of dojinshi, Japanese self-published comics. Each iteration of Comiket draws hundreds of thousands of otaku to its venue at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center.
Something else that’s known by more than one name is the Trans-Pacific Partnership. A proposed trade agreement between a dozen nations, including Japan and the U.S., the legislation is more commonly referred to by the acronym TPP in the Japanese media.
As negotiations between the U.S. and Japan continue, some anime and manga fans are worrying that the Trans-Pacific Partnership/TPP could be disastrous for Comic Market/Comiket/Comike, but just how justified are these fears?
