We all know that "doujin spirit" is pretty integral to Japanese culture. There are entire country-wide events based off of the idea of creative expression and freedom to share both parodic and original works. Those ideas are so integral to Japanese culture that many industry artists and mangaka participated in said doujin events before or even during their professional occupation.

I want to use this thread to bring attention to some of the fun and cool (and sometimes sexy) doujinshi that many of our favorite mangaka created; because I think exploring this is super interesting! It's fun seeing what these people were into and how their art evolved.
Starting with this Evangelion doujin by a guy named Azuma Kiyohiko.
https://exhentai.org/g/295693/1d477f88bf/

Forgive me, I don't really know how to do this besides lamely dumping exhentai links because unfortunately I don't have the connections or knowledge or locational advantage to find doujinshi otherwise.

If anyone finds this topic as interesting as I do then I'll call this thread a success.
If anyone has more to share then this I'll call this thread a victory.

An old Kanon doujin by Peach-Pit, the team behind Rozen Maiden and Shugo Chara:
https://exhentai.org/g/78441/e2dd40e040/

A Deathsmiles doujin by Yukiwo who made Jashin-Chan Dropkick.
https://exhentai.org/g/120535/447bb7395e/

A non-H Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan parody by Hiroyama Hiroshi.
https://exhentai.org/g/23313/b034e4e553/
He's the guy who made Prisma Illya.

Tsukumizu's Flan Wants to Die is pretty well known.
https://exhentai.org/g/1128139/d1d835cd21/
He made Girl's Last Tour.

I believe this non-H Ragnarok Online parody is by Izumo Ito - the man behind Machikado Mazoku.
https://exhentai.org/g/3378064/51b3378122/

If you remember Kanamemo, this Fun Fun Pharmacy doujin is by Iwami Shouko.
https://exhentai.org/g/384709/fb2c3d6809/
Recently he was in charge of ~11 volumes of an official Mushoku Tensei spinoff manga.

Kitsune Tennouji enjoys whoring out his Uppotte!! girls.
https://exhentai.org/g/1815056/0ccd983de5/
Guess this is an official doujinshi?

Imai Kami's proto-Needless.
https://exhentai.org/g/727753/9d676c83f7/
I think this was self-published so it should count.

Uran (Ore wa Lolicon Ja Nai!) made a lot of original H-doujinshi.
https://exhentai.org/g/776140/c7c7a79031/

Yoshikadu Hamada - the mangaka for Tsugumomo - made this H parody of a video game series called Summon Night.
https://exhentai.org/g/944637/a5271f7042/

He even made a Rockman DASH doujin.

Onii-chan wa Oshimai!'s Nekotofu made a bunch of doujinshi including Madoka Magica, Lucky Star, Touhou, Kancolle, Nanoha, and Love Live.
https://exhentai.org/g/243519/3897145dfe/
He's probably a doujin artist before he's a mangaka.

Well, I'm fine with getting excited about these all on my own. I think it's cool how these famous mangaka were so willing to share what they made before becoming famous.

Mine Yoshizaki made Keroro Gunsou which is an absurdly long-running manga series. It started in 1999 and it's still ongoing. He really liked old video games like Vampire.
https://exhentai.org/g/2965693/e8aeda7fbf/

There are H mangaka I sorely wish would make something mainstream but it's a faustian bargain.
I just wish Kotoba Ai would return

>>280026616
It's indeed a shame that they usually abandon doujin works. I cope by being happy their lewd stuff was made at all.

I don't know if this is confirmation bias or what but lots of H loli artists are making serialized manga now. Leafy, Neko Danshaku, Mizuno Uchi (pic related: https://exhentai.org/s/8c98eb2b5c/3178185-134), and Henreader all come to mind.

>>280026696
Is NOISE still working on sfw or did he go back to drawing H?
I remember it being clear that he didn't know how to draw bodies properly when he made that funny ghost possession one.

This is by Hikawa Hekiru! Pani Poni Dash gets pretty suggestive but never goes all the way.
Here's something that does.
https://exhentai.org/g/1280508/97d727dcb0/

>>280026730
>NOISE
I wasn't aware he was working on sfw at all, only that he did the odd non-H Touhou doujin back in the day.
Noise strikes me as the kind of person who won't ever completely separate from lewd stuff.

>>280026827
Yeah he made this
https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/i7te2k4/sore-wa-rei-no-shiwaza-desu

Some of his regular character types showed up. MC's imouto took a lot of his loli energy.
The ghost was hilarious, but a lacklustre series.

Orimoto Mimana made Bakuon!! and this Oreimo doujin, among other things.
https://exhentai.org/g/1336709/275e148b26/

>>280026871
>7 volumes
That's a very respectable run. Thanks for sharing I had no idea this existed.
It must be difficult for artists to transition from explicit sex and maintain a decent story while toning their art down.

>>280026954
Apparently he's made two other series, queen's seed and something about a maid which might be a oneshot, not sure.
He's leaning too much into shota or shota body type mc for my liking..

>Orimoto Mimana made bakuon
and that crazy maid series

I think this fits the thread theme still just because it's something that would never be included in an official manga.
This is a very very lewd work of art by Akira Toriyama featured in an illustration gallery.
https://exhentai.org/s/d9b7f97ec8/26885-4
It's a licensed publication so not a doujinshi.

That's all I have for now. Will return with a few more if this thread is still alive by the time I wake up.

>>280027005
>something about a maid
>and that crazy maid series
Seems they both had the same ideas. True to doujin spirit.
As long as these guys never stop making art. I think that's what matters most in the end.

>>280027096

I know CLAMP started as a doujin circle, are any of their works from back then available online?

Obligatory fuck Irodori post

Thank you for your work. It's quite an interesting read to see from where some artists came.

Maybe wasted 10 years doing Tales of the Wedding Ring, which despite the premise took its sweet time and was full of un-necessary awkward moments and the art was worse than his doujins.

It was baffling to me, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia by comparison took 4 years and looked much better.
>pic related with an older doujin

>>280027324
Oh Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari? I remember reading that early on then dropping it as it got too boring.

There's the infamous doujinshi they released based on Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

>>280027364
yes, the penultimate chapter has an all out orgy but it honestly looks to me less appealing than a lot of clothed panels in Tasogare Otome X Amnesia.

>>280027378

https://exhentai.org/s/99eae992e9/700195-8

Muchimaro of Seitokai Ni Mo Ana Aru used to do tons of im@s doujins. Same goes to Shun Numa (Salmon Kun wa Summoner) and Nikumaru (Bad Girl).
The Ichi The Witch Artist used to do world trigger doujins.

>>280027608
Tsurumaikada (Medalist) used to do idolm@ster doujins mostly of the loli idols

Tahnks for sharing, OP.

The Tawawa author is a huge Sakurafag who used to draw Fate/Stay Night doujins about her, as well as the one who came up with Archerko.

The d-frag author has a load of fate doujins, can't remember if they were all sfw though

>>280026317

God, summer is the worst season around here.

Dowman Sayman has a Persona 3 and Knights of Sidonia doujin under his belt, both with his usual style. I vaguely remember he had more doujin of other licences out there as well, but I can't seem to find them.

>>280027549
Fucking CLAMP.

Cool thread. Imagine all the shit that isn't uploaded online. Sadpanda has like maybe 10% of all doujins ever? Especially when you realize comiket is like 80 years old.

>>280031159
Would robot fellatio even feel good? Wet, warm and soft, three things robots seldom are.

Many mangaka started out making doujin because they had to make something before becoming pros.
Anyway, did you know that the mangaka of the hit WSJ series Love Note once made a 500 page doujin masterpiece about redemption that carried over to his big hit?

This counts? The only surviving work of Shibata Kouhei.
https://files.catbox.moe/f68hu8.mp4

Thanks for the bumps /a/nons. I'll see what I can do to find each of the doujinshi mentioned while I was sleeping.

>>280033206
>comiket is like 80 years old
Here's what I believe is the single most ancient doujin work uploaded to exhentai. This mecha-loli doujinshi is a group work made in comiket 21 all the way from 1975!!
https://exhentai.org/g/1341841/d6df67784f/
Researching the artists a bit, it turns out one name, ちみもりを, mentioned in the index, is the pan name of the man who authored this ロボット刑事キカイダー絶倫 chapter. If I'm reading this right, his real name is Yoshiki Takaya (高屋 良樹) who...
...made Bio Booster Armor Guyver...

Holy fuck.

>>280033493
Absolutely it counts. Thanks for sharing because that one isn't even on exhentai. I'm sure the vast majority of doujinshi are gone forever so it's nice to see what we can.
Here's the video it's from too.
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25947443

I remember this artist mentioned the last time I tried this thread.

>>280033292
It's not like they were forcibly dragged to comic markets by their circles or anything. A lot were started for fun in colleges or even high schools.
Mangaka who didn't just worked on their portfolio alongside some part time job.

>hit WSJ series Love Note
Tried to search this up and this JP wikipedia page doesn't list that series at all.
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/週刊少年ジャンプ
Your image seems to be from something called Dojin Work by ヒロユキ (which funnily enough has its own doujin paradies https://exhentai.org/g/7290/f494f1129d/)
Is that what you're talking about?

To fit the thread, I see some Fate and Touhou doujinshi by him.
https://exhentai.org/g/418190/cc7413587f/
This is the Hiroyuki who made Kanojo Kanojo and Aho Girl.

>>280031159
Ah, the Voynich Hotel guy! Nice find I never knew he made doujinshi!

Always search both Japanese and English names when looking for artists' works. Found this Darkstalkers/Vampire one by looking up 道満晴明. Of course he would like Vampire.

Why do you think that would never be included in an official manga? It doesn’t have anything more extreme than Ebichu. Talking about Ebichu, Gainax published an Evangelion erotic artbook https://exhentai.org/g/40886/7c0498fc86/

>>280029554
>Tawawa author is a huge Sakurafag
Checks out. Looks like he even did a little something for Nanoha.
https://exhentai.org/g/49242/a3f5395205/

What I failed to mention in the OP, and why I think exploring this is so important, is that doujin spirit is also about inspiration.
Circles and artists all echo off each other and bring about the creation of something that might turn out to be your favorite thing ever, which in turn might inspire you to make something.
It's a beautiful cycle.

>>280034534
Well, those are hamsters. And to my knowledge Gainax never published anything that was serialized in a magazine aimed at young kids.
Looking up おるちゅばんエビちゅ we can see the magazines it ran in were aimed at older people.
https://www.shufu.co.jp/ (company)
https://pizazzcomics.jp/ (magazine)
There was some other magazines it was in that I couldn't find the websites for. コミックGiga and コミックShan.

I guess the crux of the situation is that Gainax was known to make more spicy stuff like Panty & Stocking while no one read Dragon Ball, or anything by Toriyama, for explicit sex scenes.

This is really fun but I gotta run. I hope to see more cool finds. I'm way too giddy about that Guyver guy doujin.

>>280034534
I'm phoneposting right now but I just realized why you asked your question.
I meant that kind of stuff would never have appeared in an official manga by Toriyama, not that it's taboo for manga in general.

>>280033545
Reminds me of Hideo Azuma's style, which makes sense given the context. Dug a bit more into the actual doujin magazine it was published in, and it seems to be by the Studio Awake guys, from the early beginnings of the lolicon boom in the 70s.

It was a pretty wild time. And interesting how it was a very intentional movement from the get-go, not necessarily just a subculture that was always around from the start.

I'd be interested in a deeper dive about what the hell was going in the doujin scene back then for this whole "movement" to kick off, but I'm far too dekinai to get to any more obscure sources.

>コミックマーケットの資料などによれば、最初期のコミケットに訪れる参加者の9割以上が女性、流行していたのも「やおい」ものや、『宇宙戦艦ヤマト』ないしサンライズ作品などに登場する美形悪役キャラの同性愛を扱ったものばかりであったことから、ロリコン漫画の出現とは「やおい」が席巻するコミケという場へ向けた、男性側からの一種のカウンターカルチャーであったのだという。

It's not garbage if people are discovering something they hadn't seen before

>When I saw the book handed to me by Oki Yukao, whom I met for the first time, all the blood in my body rushed to my head in an instant. It was just a few pages of folded copy paper stapled together. However, the contents were shocking at the time, with the girl he had drawn so cute, completely naked except for her socks, with her slit clearly drawn. I was dizzy. Oki Yukao was a great pioneer in turning anime-like beautiful girls into erotic objects. I felt like my whole worldview was turned upside down. [...] In any case, if the manga gallery had not existed, there would have been no Hirukogami Ken or "Cybelle," and the subsequent lolicon doujinshi boom might not have happened. It is mysterious, or even like a divine trick, that so many great talents gathered in such a small store. When researching the history of Western art, there are many moments that can only be thought of as the will of God, when multiple geniuses are born in the same era, come together and blossom, and I witnessed a small-scale form of this.
There should be a movie of this.

When I did exhange studies in Japan my uni's manga club had released doujinshi for 50 years. The first volume was published over 50 years ago, realizing that the people who made it had to now be in 70 year old always struck me, and that many of those who came after them have continued to contribute to making new books (including myself). Earliest books were drawn by hand, art styles were quote different and often experimental from what you see today, and the companies used for printing the copies no longer existed today. I'm genuinely jealous that such culture doesn't exist in my country or anywhere outside Japan to be honest.

Fanzines are a thing,you know.

>夢みるマーキュリー
by anno and makkii

>>280047657
Early on, was all text in doujinshi handwritten out of necessity for lack of personal editing means? Nowadays everyone has a computer for clean typesetting. Not sure if there was a way to do that back then.
I was surprised to see so many meta jokes in the few 80s era doujinshi I read through. Pic not related but the broken 理性 got a chuckle out of me. Some stories were straight up ridiculous and some had more thought put into them. Not too different from now.
That's cool you got to experience that culture firsthand. Do share some fun/cool anecdotes.
>people who made it had to now be in 70 year old
I don't know about you, but I'd support a circle of gray old men if they still put stuff out.

>>280047788
There are differences, the first and most important being no legal repercussions for selling doujinshi. Fanzines are done for free and I don't think there are huge events for them either.
Do fanzines contain sexual content?

>>280048296
Why are japanese copyright laws so much more permissive?
What would happen if you tried markeeting mouse yaoi doujins in the US?

>>280048323
If you tried pulling that shit in the US you'd be sued, sentenced to prison, and forbid from ever holding a pencil again under threat of execution.
Parody carries such a different connotation in the US it might as well be something totally different.

>Well, those are hamsters
The humans are the ones getting action.
>I guess the crux of the situation is that Gainax was known to make more spicy stuff like Panty & Stocking while no one read Dragon Ball, or anything by Toriyama, for explicit sex scenes.
PSG is not an erotic show, the sexy stuff is played for laughs just like Toriyama’s stuff.

>>280048609
>>280035015
And on a side note I find Toriyama’s style girls pretty sexy. I wish there were more of his classic style.

>>280038699

>>280048808
>The humans are the ones getting action.
Shows what I know. Never heard of the series before. Still, it's way more explicit in Shonen Jump even with all the common nudity. I'm probably totally wrong when I say this but I don't think a Shonen Jump serialization ever showed penor in vagoo.
>the sexy stuff is played for laughs just like Toriyama’s stuff
For Panty & Stocking, definitely.

Haga Yui is still active.

I rather liked Astarotte no Omocha.

>>280050351
>draws lewds of Disgaea
>Takehito Harada does a end card for the anime

>>280051520
Astarotte looks so natural in that style that I'd believe you if you said it was originally Harada's manga.
I couldn't find anything else with those two together unfortunately.

Here's a cool one. It has Harada and Hamada (Tsugumomo) together.
https://exhentai.org/g/1079749/2ebbc3d7e1/
Makes sense Harada likes Keio Yuugekitai. There are obvious parallels between Flonne and Rami.

>>280051756
Keio should be a cameo in NIS games

What happened to the land of the free?

>>280054000
How well does this apply to visual media?

>>280055352
Was bought by megacorps and now is “The Land of the Free™”

>>280058328
Like how The United States of America became THE_UNITED_STATES_OF_AMERICA

>>280056619
Well since it's the same first amendment.

>>280060154
Aw

These artists are all old. Does the young blood not care about doujin spirit?

>>280033206
Panda is mainly about heterosexual ero doujins, which most people acknowledge is a minority of the market but also draws the crowds that buy everything.
Panda's got a very large amount of heterosexual ero doujinshi from years where they're palatable to masturbate to today, which is mainly what counts.
Azuma's ero stuff, for instance, has some funny bits to it that belie his talent for comedy gags but the way he draws nipples like bullet tips is extremely unsexy (yet typical of the time). It still makes me sad that he replaced the small gravure drawings he did in early AD editions with sanitized pin-ups.

>>280062041
It's all X and fanbox now

>>280026317
>no tags
God why is creating artist and circle tags on e-h such a motherfucking pain in the ass?

>>280048323
"Moon Channel" on youtube has a series of videos explaining it, but in short, Japanese copyright law is actually much LESS permissive then in the US.
In the US, if you allowed a few Mikey Mouse doujins, the court would rule that you don't give a fuck about Mickey Mouse copyright and so it is free real estate, meaning you would lose the ability to sue anyone over Mikey Mouse ever again.
In Japan you can always sue anyone for any reason, so companies can CHOOSE not to sue those who actually benefit them (doujins are free publicity) and only sue those that cause actual damage to their brand.

>>280063107
This is also why Japanese fans often exhibit corporate bootlicking behavior and gang up on fellow fans who happen to break the unspoken rules. They live and die by the benevolence of the copyright holders, so they must fight to preserve the image of doujins being beneficial to the copyright.

>>280063107
You'd think Nintendo would be way more sue happy with all the smut out there.
I don't go looking for Yoshi porn but I assume comikets are filled to the brim with that stuff.

>>280062577
Azuma never compromising on his style of humor showed how he was always doing it for fun instead of trying to appease people who wanted only ero.
>nipples like bullet tips is extremely unsexy (yet typical of the time)
Glad I'm not alone in finding that unattractive.

>>280062602
There are online-only events now.

>>280063303
Japanese employ what they call "zoning".
Yoshi smut is contained into specific R18 spaces and doesn't hurt Nintendo's family-friendly image in public.

How hard is it to make an itemized chart on Google docs? I want to make a list of every artist in this thread and their circle names.
Is there something like that already?

>>280033206
Not just that, I don't think there is a public catalog of every single work published on comiket, ever.

>>280066141
Zoning would create the opposite effect and bring those specific areas attention.
Unless they appoint generalized ero zones instead of by series.

>>280068300
I remember reading that because of the nature of doujinshi there's no hope of getting any records into whatever Japan's Library of Congress equivalent is.

>>280068716
There's no "zoning would...". It's been done for decades.

Man, it must be so fucking easy to learn how to draw in Japan with their lush environment BRIMMING with talent. They have an entire work ethic built around drawing you could probably learn by osmosis alone.

>>280062577
>from years where they're palatable to masturbate to today
That sounds like a challenge.

>>280069247
Don't make me jealous.

>>280072303
If you were smart you would have already been jealous.
These people all communicate and physically go up to one another. It's no stretch of the imagination they'd form think-tanks (draw-tanks?) to encourage mutual improvement.

>>280027608
>Risa, Arisu, and Haru.
Never heard of Muchi Maro but we like the same things.

Might have to read their manga now.

>>280027608
>The Ichi The Witch Artist used to do world trigger doujins.
Couldn't find that one uploaded anywhere unfortunately.

>>280063832
How does that look like?

>>280048208

>Early on, was all text in doujinshi handwritten out of necessity for lack of personal editing means

Yes, and often they were pain to read for a non-native

>>280076069
They just draw a straight line for し and it's impossible to parse.

>>280069247
Truly the Japanese live on easy mode.

>>280076069
I can only imagine the scribbles that passed for text from the worst offenders.

>>280069247
One real advantage I think they have over USA is their overcomplicated writing system. This means they practice fine hand coordination their entire lives. Curiously I think Latinos are better at drawing manga style than Americans. Is it true that americans can graduate school without knowing how to write cursive? That might be a reason why latinos often get much closer to Japan art style than Americans.

>>280080845
>Is it true that americans can graduate school without knowing how to write cursive?
Nowadays, yes, but it wasn't always like that.
Maybe when cursive was forced America produced better artists. I totally agree writing systems can contribute to fundamental art skill.

>>280075952
I'd like to know too.

>>280036818
for me it's the one where asuka calls shinji a pussy and makes him jack off in front of her

bump

>>280026185 (OP)
Doujin is much wider than just manga. People make literature, games, crafts, some guy even made a mecha.

>>280029554
Smug Rider is best Rider.

>>280050351
I remember him from dial up internet era

I'll join in.
