Trying Out ZINE Fests

In 2025, after distributing doujinshi up through 2024, I stepped into the ZINE scene. While wavering over the differences between doujinshi and zines, I took part in events called ZINE Fests and wrote about what each one was like around the country. This is an honest account of seven exhibitions and three visits as a general attendee over the six months from February to August 2025. A piece I hope people planning to exhibit at ZINE Fests will read.
