Doujinshi can be added to the website if it meets all the following criteria:
- The doujinshi is by an already serialized mangaka.
- It meets the Japanese 'Country Of Origin'.
- The doujinshi is not based on existing published material (anime, manga, manhwa etc.) - it must be an original work.
Doujinshi is not a format on AniList, instead, you have to the toggle the Self Published option.
{% hint style="warning" %} The ‘original work’ rule can be waived if the doujinshi in question is by the original author of the existing material.
Example:
R of Black Lagoon is a doujinshi of Black Lagoon published by the original author, Hiroe Rei.

{% hint style="info" %} Some doujinshi that enter serialization may be converted to the manga format provided the new serialization is not an entirely new work. Please refer to manga for more information. {% endhint %}
