Doujin Work

Dōjin Work (ドージンワーク, Dōjin Wāku?) is a Japanese four-panel comic strip written and illustrated by Japanese manga author Hiroyuki. The story revolves around a young girl named Najimi Osana who is about to make her debut into the dōjin creation world with the help of her experienced friends. Aspects of what it is like to be a dōjin artist are common themes throughout the story. The manga was first serialized in the Japanese seinen manga magazine Manga Time Kirara Carat on November 28, 2004, published by Houbunsha. Since then, the manga has also been serialized in two other magazines published by the same company named Manga Time Kirara and Manga Time Kirara Forward. An anime adaptation began airing on the Chiba TV television network in Japan on July 4, 2007.

This is another new series I starting to grow my interest into. Both the manga and anime chapters/episodes are quite short (12-14 minutes for anime episode, 4koma style for manga), and currently the anime has been subbed till episode 3.

Plot Summary: Doujin Work follows the life of a young girl named Najimi Osana and her exposure into the doujin world. She was first tempted into becoming a doujin artist after seeing how much one of her friends can make at a convention. Najimi loves to draw, though soon learns contrary to what she expected that this new world is anything but easy. As she attends more conventions and meets more people, Najimi eventually manages to find a group of very interesting friends. These friends already have some experience in the field and help her out along the way so that she can someday make a name for herself creating doujinshi.

Hm...my first impression: The lenght is short, just like REC, so I guess I'll give this a shot when I first found this anime being released. The OP at first sounds weird, but somehow I gradually loves it :3, and now the full version already available for download. The content is exactly as the summary says, most importantly, it's very hilarious :3, and somewhat ecchi in every episode, not in term of content, but concept lol. I'm suprised to find that Tsuyuri is a university student ;;

The OP, I~Jan! Yuujou (Maki)


Episode 1 (It's short, so the whole episode can fit 10 minutes slot)
