'''Doujinshi''' (often shortened as ''doujin'') are self-published [[manga]]. Most doujinshi are written by fans to expand their favorite manga and anime series.

Many doujinshi are H ([[Hentai]]) doujin - in fact it is so common that some Westerners leave the "H" off, though many doujinshi are not H doujin. H doujin show characters in sexual situations. Manga compilations like [[Comic Rin]] and [[Shounen Shikou]] are often mistakenly called doujinshi because they feature content similar to H Doujin. As these are not self-published, they do not qualify.
