What are Doujinshi?

Doujinshi are self-published works by Japanese manga artists. Although commonly mistaken for short parody or adult-oriented (hentai) works, doujinshi are actually more than just that and serve as both a creative outlet and a significant means of financial income for manga artists. Unlike serialized works that are licensed under a commercial publisher, doujinshi are produced and funded by the artists themselves.
As a small doujinshi publisher, Irodori Comics is able to collaborate directly with artists in order to minimize localization costs whilst prioritizing the royalty they receive for each work sold. In doing so, we hope to reassure fans that each purchase goes a long way in supporting the artists they love directly.

Why are doujinshi more expensive than manga?

Doujinshi are self-published works by manga artists. Unlike serialized works that are licensed by a major publisher, doujinshi are produced in smaller numbers because tasks that would have been handled by a large publishing company are often handled by just the manga artist themselves. as a result, all costs for publishing fall to the artist, who often only recoups the costs if the doujinshi sells well at conventions. Despite the risks involved, doujinshi still make up a significant proportion of a manga artist's income. In fact, many continue to do it not only for the money, but for the joy of experimenting with ideas they otherwise would not have tried in commercial works since they aren't working under the supervision of a publishing company's editor. It is, in every sense of the word, a passion project.
And because of the significant amount of work involved, coupled with the inherent risks of publishing on one's own, doujinshi tend to be much shorter and sell for a significantly higher price compared to commercial manga, often ranging from about $5 to $10 for a 30-page work. But despite this, doujinshi tend to be more unique, innovative, and personal. Doujinshi also serve as a means for artists to connect with their fans as seen in the afterword messages that are included with each release. It is for this reason that, despite the price, doujinshi are cherished by manga fans in Japan and are considered one of the best ways to support a manga artist.
