Dōjinshi???

well not only cant i pronounce that word, but im pretty sure im getting the meaning wrong..

my question is, at conventions, we hav many sellers selling their things and wat-not.. and cool, some of them are original work and stuff... but then some are like fanart of naruto(cause there's alot) for example and selling them... now from my guesses is... is that legal.. arent ya making profit from non original characters or something....

i had only 2 answers that i thought up...
one, its not the original character thats the problem, its the original drawing.. like artistic style and stuff......
two, the anime industry love fan work so its alright..

so yeh... someone explain to me plz thx.

That's only for Japan though.  Currently, we have no idea if Madman "turns a blind eye" to their licensed things being made into doujinshi.

OH RIGHT. Lol yeah I've wondered about that myself. :/ Even though I admit I got some stuff from that place with pretty Ouran art.
