Supernatural Doujinshi
Supernatural fandom has become very popular in the world of doujinshi. Publications are most often yaoi - either Wincest or RPS - ranging from PG-13 to R18.
An example of a Japanese Manga-Style Yaoi Doujinshi:
Title: Super (Issue #1)
Artist (Circle): 茉莉 / Matsuri (Weekend)
Contents:
- Romantic comedy story about Sam and Dean
- Serious story about Sam and Dean
Links to Doujinshi online
While some Japanese doujinshi can be purchased online directly from the artists, most are sold exclusively in person at conventions in Japan in limited runs. Copies of these doujiinshi can then be purchased in used bookstores in Japan or from online retailers of used books, such as eBay. Because of the rarity of doujinshi, fans will sometimes scan (and occasionally translate) their personal copies in order to share them online when hard copies are not available for purchase.
