'''Doujinshi''' (同人誌) are Japanese works in [[manga]] or novel form that are not created for or by the professional market; that is, they are produced by amateurs. Many but not all doujinshi are [[fancomic]]s, and sometimes the term is used as a synonym for "fancomic in a manga style".

* '''[[Doujinshi Circle|Circle]]''' (サークル) - A circle is a "group" releasing doujinshi; however, "group" is a misleading term here, since many circles consist of only one doujinka. Such circles are sometimes called kojin circles (個人サークル), i.e. a personal circle.

Japanese doujinshi is a large part of Western [[anime]]/[[manga]]/[[video game]] fandom, where it is highly popular; many fans buy and sell doujinshi imported from Japan and share translations, [[scanlations]], and preview images: see for example the [http://community.livejournal.com/doujinshi_club doujinshi_club] [[community]] on [[LiveJournal]].
