Tuned in to Doujin Culture!

/djn/ has been split off from /vnt/. This board is meant for discussing Japanese doujinshi culture & associated works, as well as visual novels (even ones not purely doujin). We heavily encourage folks to use this board to create their own fan works!

NOTE: You can basically treat this as a /jp/ type board (character threads and such are allowed)

You can post drawings here

I am the shiki of my master
Spin is my body and focus is my blood
I have grazed over a thousand shots
Unknown to death, nor known to continues
Have withstood time to grow many tails
Yet, those hands will never fluff anything
So, as I pray — Unlimited Mofu Works

April Showers with Suwako!

Recently got around to watching it, and was pleasantly surprised to find myself loving it. Mystery was great, which was complimented by countryside setting. It really knows how to create tension and ambient atmosphere as it manage d to make me feel uneasy. I heard it's a VN adaptation and there is also a manga, so definitely going to check it out sometime in the future.
What are you thoughts?
Shion is the best girl.

Wapanese Channel creates /djn/ offshoot: Touhou, Visual Novels, and fanworks

Following the Vanishing Imageboard in Digital Paradise incident in the middle of this month, Wapanese Channel has been a place of refuge and reorganization for many affected. The administrator, figamin, has been making efforts to welcome the new arrivals, and also to help them assimilate to local culture. One large class has been categorized as those users who post primary and fan-made content for shmups, VNs, and other doujin works. At the time of the incident, this discussion was relegated to a board it shared with general computing and gaming, but it was quickly made apparent that one board could not hold both topics comfortably after the increase in site activity. It was this fact that spurred figamin to create a new board, /djn/, specifically for this type of discussion.

The decision has been accepted and even hailed as good by many. Still, it is not without controversy.
Most grievously, after it was announced that the board would allow character threads, several readers contacted me to voice their opinions that it was ridiculous that no Tengu threads had been made.
Furthermore, it has been alleged that figamin is working with a local impoverished shrine maiden in exchange for a cut of the donations she hopes to receive from these new users.

This article, as always, aims to spread awareness, but my work does not end here. Rest assured, I will continue personally monitoring this incident, as well as reaching out to figamin for comment.
