Shorter answer: Doujinshi is based off of anime / manga
the manga are stand alone hentai
Shorter, but not correct. :roll: The term is from the method of publication. Doujinshi can be original stories, and not all are porn.
In the west, we've come to accept Doujinshi as parody hentai manga. Original, fictional, works are classified as hentai. No exceptions. The reason being? We're foreigners and alien from the Japanese Pop culture and have created our own off-shoot society by taking what we love from that culture:Games, J-Pop, J-drama, manga, hentai, anime, models and figurines or what have you. So the accurate definition, because we can't ever be Japanese, is the "shorter answer".
