Doujin Thread?

>>16177587
That's quite the blog. Do you hide your doujins? It seems like you do. Have a talk with your mom about privacy. Nothing beats the feeling of pulling out a book out of your personal bookshelf

Do you mean Japanese conventions or overseas conventions?
I started with a few doujins I picked up in convention travels, but the selection is terrible compared to what you can find once you learn how to order online.
I scan, btw, but only a couple lesser-known artists that particularly interest me.
I think I've managed to get more people interested in their art, so I might not have to do all the legwork forever.

I got them in a bag near my bed under my desk, it's enclosed so it would be hard to get at

It's not my I'm worried about as much as I live with two brothers and my dad and they wouldn't drop it that quick as we tend to banter with each other a lot

I live in the UK atm, got some from mcm comic con in London and then ordered some online, planning to go to Japan in the next few years

>we tend to banter with each other a lot
I wish I had bros to banter with! To answer you question though. I usually buy online only if the artist interests me. I want to go to Nippon too, just to breathe in the smell of new doujins in a store.

Why was my post deleted?

It didn't respect /jp/'s Quality Standards™, please try to adhere to them in your future posts

Whatever you do, don't go during summerket. It won't be the doujins you're smelling.

I have about 120 doujinshi but I stopped collecting them for a while. Masturbating with a book in your hands isn't really convenient.

I bet

Yeah I'm starting to find that out quickly aswell

>not supporting your favorite artists and letting them know they have many fans overseas who´d travel all the way over just to buy their latest release
I´d be tickled pink if it ever happened to me

I started a small collection of Tōhō dōjinshis about half a year ago when I realized that a significant percentage of the books I'm interested in won't ever get scanned. With how brutal shipping costs can be for large amounts of books and the need for a proxy, this hobby quickly turned into a pretty costly affair, but now that I've gotten my hands on some pretty nice books that I wouldn't have ever had the chance of reading had I not bought them myself, I don't think I can stop buying more.

Especially annoying with tankoubon. At least doujinshi will stay on a page if you lay them flat on a bed or something.
