This is exciting to see - a doujin event specifically for encouraging ENG-created doujin in NA!

It's called "Manga Ichiba," and is affiliated with Fanime. It debuts next May, during Fanime 2026. They say this is the first NA event of this kind, created specifically to support NA doujin creators. Their aim is cultivating doujin culture in NA, in a similar way it's flourished in Japan for decades.
Check it out, and if you are an NA doujin artist yourself, consider applying! I believe applications are open from now until the end of this month (Nov 2025).
It's also exciting for me to see an event like this, because I've always thought of "The Harbinger's Path" as my "Trahearne and Malyck doujin." I even tagged early posts about the comic with "doujinshi."
But I wondered if people seeing my posts knew what doujinshi even was, because I don't see the term used often (though that may be due to wherever I've landed in online communities/feeds).
I would LOVE if doujinshi became a more commonly-known and supported community in NA, because I love seeing people creating stories out of their passion and love for fandom or their own original stories.
