Doujinshi (同人誌, translated as "magazine of same-minded people") is a term for self-published manga that are created by doujinka, which means "doujinshi writer" in Japanese. Some doujinshi are also created by doujin circles. Doujinshi are sometimes sold online and they can be sold at an anime convention. Some professional manga artists also publish their own doujinshi because of content that can be unsuitable for mainstream markets, such as sexually explicit scenes and gore.
