Doukyuusei Merchandise Shopping Guide
Do you love the Doukyuusei series by Nakamura Asumiko and want to buy merch but don’t know where or how to buy it?!
Then this guide is for you!
Please note: I’m learning as I go and this guide is written based on personal experience and is using sites and methods I’ve used myself. If anyone out there knows any other places/methods to obtain Doukyuusei merchandise, please feel free to add to this!
There is currently no physical release of the manga series in English. It is currently licensed by DMG and digital copies are available through JuneManga.com. Only Doukyuusei and the two Sotsugyousei books have been released so far. Keep in mind, these editions leave out several pages of insert artwork, comments, and extra stories.

The blu-ray set is actually really nice. The packaging is beautiful, comes with a set of postcards and a booklet with production artwork, an interview with Nakamura-sensei, and AN EXTRA STORY. It takes place right after Sajou and Kusakabe are hiding from their teachers the day of the choir festival. It’s short and really sweet <3
