Kyoto, haru. doujinshi distribution info
Doujin circle RubiconHearts has announced that outside of Comic Market, they currently do not have any plans to sell the “Kyoto, haru.” doujinshi on consignment through the existing doujinshi shops. But instead, they will be running a small shop to sell the doujinshi. The shop will be somewhere in Tokyo and will open about 2 to 3 times per month on the weekends.
The reason for this method of distribution that is different from the norm is that they feel that the distribution of doujinshi should also be independent, unlike normal book publications.
They wish to hand the book over to the readers directly by themselves instead of letting other people do it, as one of the fun parts of doujinshi events is that they can get to meet the readers directly. When selling through doujin shops on consignment, this fun is completely gone and the relationship with the readers is usually dull and lifeless.
Also the image above is where they’re doing the color proof for the book. Great backgrounds.
