66.190.55.248 18:10, March 24, 2014 (UTC)Hi I'm an american fan of this manga/anime. I am such a big fan that i wrote a story that i would like to share but because of various copyright laws i would like to send this story to the creators first. First off so i can find out what they think of my story, second, to make sure that it wont be retracted and is OK to publish. Anyone know how to do this? I don't read Japanese or i would search the official website. Can any one help me?66.190.55.248 18:10, March 24, 2014 (UTC)

I know that in Japan, fan artists and amateur writers would write, self-print and sell their own mangas, some of which are based on popular works of professionals, and so considered non-canon. These are called Doujinshi, and they are completely self-printed via printshops and sold in comic conventions. I don't think they require licensing or any permission to sell. However, if you're going to publish them for purchase in bookstores or ebook, you will most certainy need permission from either the original writer, artist, or manga publisher Jump SQ. Find out who has the rights to the whole franchise.

If you want my advice, I think you should just post them on a website for free. Try fanfiction.net, or lunaescence.com. Just post them without permission. The worst that can happen is the original author requests that they get removed. No American book publisher would waste money printing a book based on a manga that non-otakus have never heard of and can't possibly profit. If you're dead set on selling, you might want to try digital publishing. Find a website that sells digital products that doesn't have such a big tax fee like Kindle's 30% tax. Maybe try Gumroad. But before that, get the franchise owner's permission first!

Find the author's facebook page, and find a way to write to them in Japanese.

Hope this helps. Oppaichan (talk) 23:32, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
