A doujin you WANT to own, but CAN'T?
1
*See Title.*
A lot of doujinshi would probably not even get past customs (Kodomo no Jikan, etc.) but besides loli or ones that WOULD NOT pass the border, are there are doujins that you want to own badly, but can't due to money or some other reason?
For me, there's a few yuri Lucky Star ones, well, so many that the names don't matter. It would take too long.
One I would LOVE to own is "Sister, Glasses, and Sperm" but sadly I can't own it for a few reasons:
- If found in my room, I'd pretty much be disowned.
- No money.
- Can't find it online to buy anywhere.
Anything on your end, Fakku?

I honestly don't see the point in owning them anymore. I only have one doujin and it's just random short stories, great artwork and it's uncensored though. =D
I just bought it cause at the time I didn't know any safe, free hentai websites.
But fapping with one hand while using the other to hold the book/flip the pages ain't as easy as when you can just click on the specific page you want.

I prefer my doujins and hentai mangas in digital and accessible (scanlated) rather than a hard to carry and preserve dead tree format.
With advances in e-paper I believe actually owning hard copies (beyond centralized, fail-safe archiving purposes) will be superfluous.

A ray of Tsunlight.
I move around too often to really keep too large a manga/doujin collection. I have about 80 books or so. (No hentai at all) And all of those are either split amongst my sister (Who is too young for like 75% of them.) or one of my buddies. (Who has the other 25%) I do keep a large collection on my computer though. On the order of 2000 seperate doujins. (something like that)
I can't recall the name of what I was going to use as my example. I'll have to get back to this thread after I'm back at my computer. (Flying out tommorow)

I'd like to get my hands on a Ishikei/Nise, TonyTaka, Sagojou/Seura Isago, Rate, Hiroshi Itaba, Takeda Hiromitsu, Todd Special....
The list could go on... for about 5 artists.
Digital is nice but I want a hard copy, you know? It's like you can download songs or buy the CD.

I too like to have everything "under hand" on my hard drive :-)QFT. But if I had to have a hard copy, then something by Ishikei or T2 will do!

well, there're a shitload of doujinshi that interest me on Toranoana (like this one), several of which I'd be willing to pay money just to look at, but unfortunately, they never do overseas deliveries, so I'm limited to a couple pages worth of samples. Toranoana does have a section for downloads, but apparently, it seems only Japanese residents have access to that as well. Yeah, I really wish more Circles would put their work on DLsite (and for the ones that are on there to not limit their selection to CG sets).
But as for physical doujin... nah, I too prefer keeping it on my harddrive. However, I do have all the (older) volumes of Evangelion RE TAKE stashed in my drawer.

I have 6 real doujins. +1 monthly momohime.
I keep them in my library, next to my non-h manga, next to my japanese stydy stuff :)
15000+ in digital format.
For fapping & tagging digital is superior (unless it's a brownout).
For cultural preservation real form is superior and it's more portable.
And to have something real, something you can touch, is quite diffirent from digital.
And paper survives EMP!

I have some loli doujinshi/manga that were bought locally, but I am afraid to order through mail now with there being a few public cases of arrest... Any safe way to do it? I've heard ordering EMS doesn't typically get inspected since it's declared as "book" or "magazine" there is little reason for anyone to open them..

In my country, importing porn is illegal.
And I live in a first world country in Middle Europe, now that is real sad.

Never had problems buying doujins, but I only buy the ones I've read and found superb. The reason I do that is just something personal, so as to show my respect or thumbs up for the artist, a salutation so to speak.

All incest doujins. If a friend or visiting family member found it, I would be friendless or disowned...

This is all assuming you're in the US, and you can shrug off anything I say if you aren't.
If you were to order loli from overseas, I think it would personally boil down to your risk tolerance. While the chances of your package being searched are really low (I don't have a hard number, but of the thousands of packages they get a day, I'm guessing they only search a few), but it can and does happen.
As far as I know, there isn't a "safe" way to order it, if it has to pass through customs as they have the legal right to search your package. I think if they search your package, they're required to make a note of it, and document any items they took/what they looked through. I'm not 100% certain of that, but if that is the case, not a single one of my 10+ packages has been searched. And they ranged in size from a standard document envelope to a rather large box (about the size of two Xbox 360 boxes side by side)
This next paragraph is theoretical, and goes to a place you'd probably never want to be. But how locally available is the loli you've purchased? Have you only see it in one store, or multiple? I'm not even close to being a lawyer, but Obscenity law in its current state is all about "community standards". I listened to a podcast a few weeks back with a lawyer who specializes in Obscenity (though in relation to the pornography industry, and not hentai). The host asked a question about what to do to avoid material being classified as obscene, and he suggested to search around locally, and see if you can find material very similar in nature. Pick it up, save the receipt, and hope you never need the receipt. But if charges are brought up against you, you can show that material of the same nature is readily available in the community.
Once again, you'd never want to get to that point, and I'm not suggesting you buy a ton of loli from Japan, after picking up a ton locally, as it would still probably make its way to court, but I thought it was interesting.
Really though, you should be fine if you order some loli, but you'll have to decide if you're willing to risk the small chance of your package being searched.
More on topic, I'm not the biggest fan of loli, but I've had a few cases where I just absolutely loved the art of a particular doujin. The full color page near the end of Shoujo Material is easily my favorite hentai image. Definitely a doujin I'd love to have a hard copy of.
