CATDOLL:Manbujikou: Do you think doujin artists should become regular cartoonists?

Speaking of Doujin artist landing is probably a more interesting topic in recent years. There are many excellent cartoonists hidden in Japan, but they do not apply these skills to orthodox comics, but choose Doujin, which is also a typical example of developing a hobby to make a fortune. Recently, however, several Doujin artists have successfully landed and started serialization in well-known Japanese magazines.

The first doujin artist Kotaro Ino has collaborated with LINK to serialize a harem manga on Shonen Jump+ today, called "The End of the Harem". The title of the work reveals a strong sense of routine, and in fact the work itself feels like it is based on a doujin story. The work tells the story of a male protagonist who was frozen and fell asleep for five years due to cell sclerosis. However, after thawing, all the men in the world have died due to a special disease, and there are only five men left in the world. So in order to save the future of mankind, please look forward to the follow-up development.

The second doujin artist, Iida Pachi, serialized an orthodox comic that was extended from the "unspeakable" comic on Dengeki G's comic. This "unspeakable" comic was also created by this doujin artist. It is said that he decided to temporarily land because he thought the subject matter of this work was good. It has a momentum of landing at the slightest disagreement, which is very strong. The serialized work of this doujin artist is "My Devil Sister", which tells the story of a lonely boy who met the devil black goat in a warehouse and made a wish to become a family with him, and then they really became a family without any blood relationship. It really facilitates all kinds of unspeakable developments.

Compared to doujin artists with good drawing skills, the process of switching from "indescribable" comic magazines to regular magazines is quite difficult, but who doesn't want to enjoy the treatment of an orthodox cartoonist? This opportunity must not be missed. For example, many doujin artists have recently joined the ranks of illustrators in Japanese light novels, which has also caused a lot of trouble for the character design of animation adaptations. So for everyone, do you hope that doujin artists can switch to orthodox cartoonists?

Although the author personally still looks forward to the existence of official fan works, for example, the illustrator Nakajima Yuka in "The Savior of Amagi Brilliant Paradise" and Fukasaki Kureto in "How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" seem to have drawn official fan works.
