DOUJINSHI

doujinshi
Part of my stack

I have been collecting doujinshi (Japanese self-published zines or booklets) for years now, ammassing a collection that is likely to be one of the largest in Italy. While most doujinshi are 18+ and focused on parodies of existing works, I center my collection around original materials and artbooks. I have also been reviewing my purchases for a few years - you can find the sauce by perusing my blog's archives.
