Looking for doujinshi scanlation groups I could interview for an assignment! It's a few simple questions on the challenges of preserving scanlations, nothing personal or too in-depth. Please hit me up if you are part of a scanlation circle!

Terminology Thursday: Doujinshi

[ID: A person, shown from behind, sits in front of an array of screens showing different anime, including Sailor Moon and One Piece. The screens are depicted in colour, while the person is in a black and white style resembling manga. They hold a pen in one hand, poised to draw on several large pieces of paper. Above their head is the word ‘Doujinshi’. /end ID]

For this week’s Terminology Thursday, we're highlighting doujinshi! 

Doujinshi are Japanese works in manga or novel form that are not created for or by the professional market! Often fancomics in manga style, these works are created by doujinshi circles or individual creators called doujinka, and though they are similar to fanzines, they have their own distinctive style.

Read more on the doujinshi page, and if you have made or know of doujinshi, feel free to add more examples to our list on Fanlore.
