CATDOLL: Japan's "Doujinshi" course has attracted heated discussions, and cartoonists have also tweeted to make fun of it

"Doujinshi" occupies a considerable market in the animation industry; since there is a demand, corresponding talent training institutions will gradually emerge. Starting from April 2017, the Japanese educational foundation Jikei Gakuen Tokyo Animation Voice Actor School will add the "Akihabara International Economics Department", which is divided into 6 departments, one of which is the "Doujinshi Department" that has attracted everyone's attention.

The "Doujinshi Department" is a special course that teaches and trains: how to draw and sell doujinshi, as well as knowledge about circulation and copyright, and cultivates doujinshi authors with business knowledge, who can run a store, and understand network strategies. In fact, it is to cultivate talents who can "make money with doujinshi."

Manga artist Hirano Kota (representative work "The Royal Anglican Knights") tweeted:

"Teacher: Come on, today we are going to talk about how to get rid of the three useless people when a six-member club becomes popular and conflicts arise over the division of money."

"Teacher: Today we are going to talk about how to pass the time in the izakaya after the book seller and the club members have a big fight over the cosplayer issue."

"Teacher: Today we are going to talk about the issue of choosing a coffee shop when a club is just disbanded but the club immediately calls on capable people to form a new club for discussion. The teacher thinks that drinking is not appropriate at this time."

In this regard, netizens complained:

"How do you learn to draw fan fiction in school?"

"Doujin lecturer: Welcome everyone. The first thing we have to say is that 80% of doujin clubs are losing money, and more than half of the 20% that can be sold are 18+. Student: Oh my god, why didn't you tell me that before school started?"

“Teacher: Come, repeat after me ‘Sorry, the notebook is broken~’ Student: ‘Sorry, the notebook is broken~’”

“I think the most important thing to learn is, when you print 200 copies and only sell two, what do you do with the remaining books? (Real experience)”

So, can this course be popular among students? Anime Star will continue to pay attention.
