The copyrights to Doujin manga and original novels

The copyrights of doujinshi comics and original novels usually belonged to different owners. Doujinshi manga referred to works based on the original novel or manga, usually re-creating the characters or plots in the novel to form their own unique story. The copyright of a doujinshi comic usually belonged to the creator or his company, not to the original novel or comic. The owner of the original novel's copyright was usually the original author or the author. They had the right to decide whether to license other companies or individuals to publish their novel and how to distribute the copyright fees. In this case, if a doujin comic was based on the original novel, the copyright of the doujin comic would usually belong to the original copyright owner. It is important to note that in some cases, the copyright owner may agree to the distribution of the fanboy comic or novel, but may restrict its commercial use. In addition, Doujin comics and novels may also involve copyright disputes. Therefore, it is recommended to understand the relevant laws and regulations when creating and distributing Doujin works and abide by copyright regulations.
