dragonfly doujinshi
read + love = buy
dragonfly is a non-profit scanlation group dedicated to getting english-speaking readers interested in various doujinshi.

Doujinshi are works of art and are great to buy, collect, and enjoy the beauty of the actual copy in your hands.

Scanlations are not an excuse to not buy the book; they should be an incentive to own them.

Visit our buying guide for help on getting into doujinshi.

Know Japanese? Love hot men? Alright then! Doujinshi are usually only 20-30 pages, so we're not looking for commitment. Just contact us and mention a series and we'll get you started! ^^

To be clear, you can work on only one series, if that's all you're interested in. We want our translators to be happy! ^^ We're perfectly willing to set you up on any series, or even circle, if we have it available to us.

We're especially looking for Hikaru no Go, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts, but we've got many other choices!
scanners

some notes about what we usually accept:
We ALWAYS want BOYS LOVE content.
We usually do not like doujinshi with lots of GAG. Their jokes can be hard to translate into English without losing much of the original humor.
We ONLY accept what series our translators enjoy... usually the ones listed.
We ONLY want attractive doujinshi. (i.e. sexy boys)
We're ALWAYS looking for and accepting new scans!

we'd love:

If you have something from these series, but the pairing isn't listed above, just ask us! We're flexible :D

CIRCLES

We're also hunting for works by these people: Akizuki Ryou (Yubinbasha), Fujiwara Beni (KiKi), Shuko Satou (CCT), Nanase Michiru (Gyarandoh), and RS.

We're not limiting ourselves to these, but it's what you'll find us very interested in right now.

As a note, we usually only do what our translators enjoy, and try to shy away from both shota and real life slash (including American and English books made into movies).

tips on scanning for us:
We like scans done in 300 dpi, either resized to 1400px in height or left alone.
Here are two different examples of recieved scans; both are very good.

example two

how to send:
E-mail us at dragonfly.djs[at]gmail.com and send us covers of the doujinshi and a sample inside scan. Give us a little information about the doujinshi, such as pairings, page length, and what circle it's by. If you're unsure, please still send us the cover and inside scan. Also, give us some info on how to contact you and when you can scan the item in question OR if you already have it scanned.

IMPORTANT: We ONLY accept scans from the scanner themself, or if you have express permission from the scanner. We've had a lot of scans offered to us that we haven't been able to use for this very reason, so please be sure you have the scanner's permission if you send us scans! We will not make any exceptions to this rule.
