Doujin shop

A doujin shop (同人ショップ, dōjin shoppu) is a store that specializes in doujinshi, self-published works. They exist mainly in Japan. Doujin shops can be both brick and mortar as well as online stores.^[1] Some sell only second-hand doujinshi, but particularly larger chain stores also sell new doujinshi. Many doujin shops also handle other kinds of doujin works, such as doujin music or doujin games,^[2] or commercially published popular media such as manga and anime.
