                        strong emotional indicators. They can

                        DOUJINSHI

                        A unique form of manga is called doujinshi.
                        This means “one-person magazine.” These are

                        self-published works that appeal to a specific
                        audience. They are typically fan creations that

                        use characters from existing media. However,
                        they can also be original stories. Doujinshi are

                        often distributed online or sold at conventions.
                        Some physical stores carry doujinshi as well.
