Doujinshi
-
Doujinshi is amateur manga publications, featuring either a cast of original characters and plot or characters from another manga or an anime (a fan manga). Theres all sorts of doujinshi, though it isnt as widely circulated as more popular mangas, such as CLAMP works. Doujinshi is often cheap but is just as good as regular manga (well, some of the time...), and is sold on eBay, jpqueen.com, and other sites. Even if it isnt your bag, its nice to take a peek and see a fans perspective on Naruto... kinky pairings, too.
