The term is derived from the Japanese words \u2018Dojinshi\u2019, meaning a group of likeminded people, and \u2018shi\u2019, meaning magazine. Although the majority of Dojinshi comics are created and published in Japan, a large number are also made in Korea.<\/p>\n<p>While some Dojinshi comics are completely original, most are reworked parodies of existing manga, video games and films. Despite blatant copyright infringement, Dojinshi self-publishers manage to avoid litigation by printing their work in very low numbers. Of course, this also makes their comics rare and often very expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Dojinshi\u2019s popularity has skyrocketed in recent years. The number of attendees at Comiket, the world\u2019s largest Dojinshi convention, has risen from 600 in 1975 to over half a million. Successful Dojinshi artists have become underground celebrities throughout Asia and for good reason: their talent, as evidenced by the images below, is often quite incredible. Here are some of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/ink-cartridges.html\">Cartridge Save&#8217;s<\/a> favourite pieces&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>1. Devil May Smile [Ryo]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3769\" title=\"Devil May Smile, Ryo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Devil May Smile, Ryo\" width=\"500\" height=\"708\" \/><br \/>\nThis 32-page, Korean comic is a parody of the Devil May Cry franchise. Rather than focus on Dante, it follows Vergili and his trials and tribulations in the underworld. The image above is actually of the back-cover, which is even more impressive than the front.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Black and White [Ayo and Kine]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3770\" title=\"Black and White, Ayo and Kine\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Black and White, Ayo and Kine\" width=\"500\" height=\"700\" \/><br \/>\nSome of the most exciting Dojinshi comics experiment with unusual printing techniques and materials. &#8220;Black and White&#8221;, for example, is printed onto a mixture of standard paper, aluminium foil and neutral-coloured cardboard in both black-and-white and colour.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Yamato Nadeshiko [Jeanne d&#8217;Arc]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3771\" title=\"Yamato Nadeshiko, Jeanne d'Arc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Yamato Nadeshiko, Jeanne d'Arc\" width=\"500\" height=\"703\" \/><br \/>\nWhile some comics experiment with printing techniques, thousands more are limited to black-and-white due to printing expenses. A restricted palette, however, has never reduced demand for Jeanne d\u2019Arc\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Hb (Hysteric Bee) [Ayo]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3772\" title=\"Hb (Hysteric Bee), Ayo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Hb (Hysteric Bee), Ayo\" width=\"500\" height=\"695\" \/><br \/>\nAyo combines computer graphics with hand-drawn images to great effect in &#8220;Hb&#8221;. Most pages in the comic are printed in black-and-white, with magenta-pink highlights and accents.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Kamikakushi Kei, various artists]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3773\" title=\"Kamikakushi Kei, Various Artists\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Kamikakushi Kei, Various Artists\" width=\"500\" height=\"714\" \/><br \/>\nPrinted in 2002, this Dojinshi anthology is homage to Spirited Away, Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli\u2019s anime masterpiece, which was a global box-office hit. This front-cover features lead characters Chihiro and Haku.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Two Rangers [Evan and Kite]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3774\" title=\"Two Rangers, Evan and Kite\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Two Rangers, Evan and Kite\" width=\"500\" height=\"698\" \/><br \/>\nIt\u2019s not only Asian epics like Spirited Away that get the Dojinshi treatment, The Lord of the Rings trilogy has been fully embraced by the comic community. The two pictures above demonstrate the divergent range of styles utilised by different Dojinshi artists.<\/p>\n<h3>7. The Day [Kakanori]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3775\" title=\"The Day, Kakanori\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/7.jpg\" alt=\"The Day, Kakanori\" width=\"500\" height=\"672\" \/><br \/>\nHarry Potter is another western novel\/movie franchise that\u2019s become a popular subject matter for dojinshi authors and illustrators.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Shadow of the Moon [Ciel]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3776\" title=\"Shadow of the Moon, Ciel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/8a.jpg\" alt=\"Shadow of the Moon, Ciel\" width=\"500\" height=\"698\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3777\" title=\"Shadow of the Moon, Ciel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/8b.jpg\" alt=\"Shadow of the Moon, Ciel\" width=\"500\" height=\"706\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3778\" title=\"Shadow of the Moon, Ciel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/8c.jpg\" alt=\"Shadow of the Moon, Ciel\" width=\"500\" height=\"729\" \/><br \/>\nThe three-part &#8220;Shadow of the Moon&#8221; series combines a breathtaking, heartbreaking storyline with wonderfully detailed hand-drawn imagery. Ciel\u2019s beautifully illustrated flowers feature heavily throughout the three comics.<\/p>\n<h3>9. One Who Asks, One Who Answers [Kine]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3779\" title=\"One Who Asks, One Who Answers, Kine\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/9.jpg\" alt=\"One Who Asks, One Who Answers, Kine\" width=\"500\" height=\"705\" \/><br \/>\nKine is one of the most respected and sought-after illustrators in the world of Dojinshi. At comic conventions, Kine can often be found at the head of a 100 metre long queue of fans, all desperate to get their comics signed.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Saishuu Gensou Gashuu [Yubinbasya]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3780\" title=\"Saishuu Gensou Gashuu, Yubinbasya\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Saishuu Gensou Gashuu, Yubinbasya\" width=\"500\" height=\"704\" \/><br \/>\nAlthough this is just one of thousands of Dojinshi comics based on the Final Fantasy video game, anime and motion picture franchise, it\u2019s certainly one of the best. Yubinbasya\u2019s artwork is soft and subtle, but incredibly powerful.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Fragile [Idea]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3781\" title=\"Fragile, Idea\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/11.jpg\" alt=\"Fragile, Idea\" width=\"500\" height=\"691\" \/><br \/>\nThe still-life front-cover pictured above is very unusual for a Dojinshi comic, but attractive nonetheless. \u201cFragile\u201d is a parody of \u201cFullmetal Alchemist\u201d, the successful Japanese Manga series.<\/p>\n<h3>12. Tekken [Ryo]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3782\" title=\"Tekken, Ryo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/12.jpg\" alt=\"Tekken, Ryo\" width=\"500\" height=\"695\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3783\" title=\"Tekken, Ryo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/12b.jpg\" alt=\"Tekken, Ryo\" width=\"500\" height=\"700\" \/><br \/>\nYet another parody, this time of the successful video game series Tekken. Young girls with ample bosoms, like Ling in the image above, are a common theme throughout Dojinshi. Images such as this represent the softer side of Dojinshi\u2019s sexual content, which is frequently incredibly explicit.<\/p>\n<h3>13. Volumes 1, 2 and 3 [Yi Lee]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3784\" title=\"Volumes 1, 2 and 3, Yi Lee\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/13a.jpg\" alt=\"Volumes 1, 2 and 3, Yi Lee\" width=\"500\" height=\"688\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3785\" title=\"Volumes 1, 2 and 3, Yi Lee\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/13b.jpg\" alt=\"Volumes 1, 2 and 3, Yi Lee\" width=\"500\" height=\"695\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3786\" title=\"Volumes 1, 2 and 3, Yi Lee\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/13c.jpg\" alt=\"Volumes 1, 2 and 3, Yi Lee\" width=\"500\" height=\"697\" \/><br \/>\nYi Lee is one of the most admired and sought-after Dojinshi illustrators around today. The inflated asking prices for her work reflect her popularity. Her illustrations are always highly original and imaginative with a punky, DIY aesthetic.<\/p>\n<h3>14. Various [I Me Mine]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3787\" title=\"Various, I Me Mine\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/14.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"Various, I Me Mine\" width=\"500\" height=\"698\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3788\" title=\"Various, I Me Mine\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/14b.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"Various, I Me Mine\" width=\"500\" height=\"698\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3789\" title=\"Various, I Me Mine\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/14c.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"Various, I Me Mine\" width=\"500\" height=\"698\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3790\" title=\"Various, I Me Mine\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/14d.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"Various, I Me Mine\" width=\"500\" height=\"698\" \/><br \/>\nI Me Mine\u2019s comics are typically aimed at a teen audience, with stories of romance and adventure. The illustrations are rather unusual, with a pale palette of watercolour-like shades.<\/p>\n<h3>15. Megumi x Kenshin [Hayakawabokujyo]<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3791\" title=\"Megumi x Kenshin, Hayakawabokujyo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/15a.jpg\" alt=\"Megumi x Kenshin, Hayakawabokujyo\" width=\"500\" height=\"707\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3792\" title=\"Megumi x Kenshin, Hayakawabokujyo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgesave.co.uk\/printwhatmatters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/15b.jpg\" alt=\"Megumi x Kenshin, Hayakawabokujyo\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><br \/>\nThe detail in these illustrations is not to be found in the foreground, like in most of the other examples in this list. The detail can be seen in the floral, wallpaper-like backgrounds, which are truly stunning.<br \/>\n<em>Images: <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/DMC2full.jpg\">1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/PT5full.jpg\">2<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/RK19full.jpg\">3<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/PT3full.jpg\">4<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/SA1full.jpg\">5<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/LOTR9full.jpg\">6<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fuuko.com\/doujinshi.jpg\">7<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/DGM2full.jpg\">8\/1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/DGM4full.jpg\">8\/2<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/DGM6full.jpg\">8\/3<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/BL5full.jpg\">9<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/FF6full.jpg\">10<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/FMA41full.jpg\">11<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/TE2full.jpg\">12\/1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/TE1full.jpg\">12\/2<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/OR5full.jpg\">13\/1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/OR6full.jpg\">13\/2<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/desolatedreams.limned.com\/doujinfull\/OR7full.jpg\">13\/3<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/minako017doujin\/pic\/008y0w9h\">14\/1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/minako017doujin\/pic\/0063we80\">14\/3<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/minako017doujin\/pic\/008xzebb\">14\/4<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/doujinshi.mugimugi.org\/book\/37663\/Dawn\">15\/1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/static.zerochan.net\/full\/18\/01\/65068.jpg\">15\/2<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dojinshi are self-published comics drawn by fans rather than professional artists.
