Here I have scans from varoius doujinshi (Japanese fan comics) that I've managed to get. I've heard some people question the ethics of scanning these in but as far as I know there is no way the average non-Japanese anime fan can get these things except through secondary sources like ebay and other sellers. If there was a way to buy directly from the artist I'd be the first to say go do it! Until then, here are my doujinshi scans so that people can at least see what they're like and perhaps get an idea of certain author/artist circles that they like too.

OK- Here's my secret-
Ok- really.....I'm sure in the deep kindness of your heart you have mentally given me tons of sweet chocolate Pocky.../\_/\ and for that here is the URL of the place: Doujin Box.They are very friendly- You surf Yahoo Japan, find what you want, and they bid on the doujinshi for you! Go check 'em out!
Rins Brand Presents- or Rinno-Fukuju (if I understand that correctly...)
This is a wonderful doujinshi (don't know the title). The artwork is amazing- it's got Takahashi's manga style down almost perfectly! It starts with a small story with Kagome cutting her finger, has a few pages of humor and someone else's artwork, it looks like, and then a really sweet story featuring Miroku and Sango. I would definitely recommend this one! I've noticed it's hard to get- I had to try for it several times before I finally got a copy!
What happens after the picture on the cover/\_/\...
Miroku gets an idea (I wish I knew what!:))
Still wish I could read Japanese...:)
A page from the Miroku/Sango story.
Another page...I love where they are just standing with each other...Aw...:)
Gatten-Shouchi Shinemon-Ooedo (by Samsara?)
I wasn't sure if this was worth getting or not...but it definitely turned out to be! I love this one too! It's got a lot of great artwork and FUNNY stuff, too...where else can you get to see a smug Sesshomaru munching on Pocky?:) I've included the awesome first story- enjoy! I know I did!/\_/\
The second story deals with Miroku trying to get Inu yasha to take a bath- very funny! This one is NOT yaoi, either...:) Though I think the artist enjoyed themselves nonetheless...:) Woo hoo!/\_/\
There's several more bits and pieces, a decidely yaoi (though nothing graphic or anything) toned one-pager by some other artist, and then an ultra-adorable Rin/Sesshomaru story!:)
Here is their website- more wonderful artwork! (Japanese only) Samsara
Extremely cool pic of the IY gang.
It's OK for Sessho to insult Inu Yasha, but...stealing Pocky is another matter entirely....:)
Apparently Miroku says something he shouldn't have...
Fluffy is enjoying all this...
SIT!!!(Heh- while Sessh dances with the walkman now...:))
Miroku convinces Inu to take a bath after all...
Mince Special- Presented by Inuki Atumi/ Inu-Pro 2000
This one I got for cheap- I like the others more, but this one is still cute. There are a few things that are downright funny even if you can't read the language!!!!/\_/\
Here is their website! (Japanese only) Ine-Pro
I love the pic on the top right...:)
Adorable young Inu Yasha and Fluffy:)
This, I believe, is from something the Japanese animation magazine Animedia put out as an extra (omake). It's a booklet called Paromedia and it has a lot of manga from various series, including Weib Kruez! I don't know if this really counts as doujinshi, but it seems like it was done by different artists, so... here are some scans from it:
Front and back cover of Paromedia.
And yet another! I love the pic of the guy on the bottom right!
