The otaku scene in China seems to be developing well, and, notably, is gradually abandoning the shameless commercial piracy which unfortunately has come to associated with China. Here we have some fine examples of Chinese made dojinshi (see below for images and translation), which exhibit some evident talent and are not just mere knockoffs.
Perhaps as a natural consequence of steady Chinese development, the otaku scene there appears to be thriving, and not just in an atmosphere of disregard for intellectual property; I am reminded of my earlier article on the figure and otaku scene in China, where we hear that otaku are not subject to opprobrium there, even as they are in Japan, and that they are capable of rejecting commercial piracy.
Probably the only impediment to this culture flourishing is the onerous censorship measures taken by the Chinese government to restrict foreign programming (as well as perhaps adult material); it remains to be seen whether these will loosen in time, although perhaps the Internet will have a strong effect here.
A Transformers dojinshi, apparently aimed at the ladies?
This Super Robot Taisen title is apparently 130 pages in length – quite impressive. We are told that the book is, interestingly enough, bound right to left in the Japanese style.
The final issue which arises is the subtle one of where undesired piracy ends and laudable dojinshi fan culture begins. Perhaps the commercial use aspect is the key factor in deciding?

Excellent, you know I think the people of China will become as geeky as us and then maybe this could even overcome the centuries-old hatred between the two countries and they will make us an oriental paradise of freedom and lolis.
agreed to the end of time (hell knows when that is) plus the top image is pretty good, i think that now it wont be so bad to be forced to learn chinese in my school... i still pperfer japanese, until china pwns jpn...
I don't really like the art style, but I guess this is still a budding community.
I wonder if that Transformers doujin is yaoi...
*licks lips*
Hmm,interesting. If they weren't blatant ripoffs like the Vii than they might be worth reading.
PURPLE CYBERTRON?
No. Just no. My Childhood is raped.
they are really boring,no echi no hentai.you cant expect anything from reading a chinese doujinshi
I approve of other countries going weeaboo.
quite the opposite, the japanese's right-to-left is taken from chinese
you mean japan's left to right....
we read left to right here. (China)
lol
They do look quite good, but are no where near their Japanese counterparts. And Chinese society is much more conservative than Japanese society. Perhaps the doujinshi scene in Taiwan would develop at a faster rate.
They certainly are rudimentary, but I think the fact that Chinese fans are not just ripping off Japanese works probably indicates there is a change in mentality somewhere.
Somehow, I laugh at the term ripping off, used in the same sentence as Doujinshi...
My thoughts exactly.
Also, I don't know how or in which direction, but Starscream just kicked my ass there.
