The protagonist, Osana Najimi, sets foot in the world of Dojin-shi (self-published manga) when she is invited by her classmate, Tsuyuri. At first, she experiences culture shock, but is also influenced by Tsuyuri and Justice, a very popular dojin author and her childhood friend. She then announces that she intends to make a killing in the dojin market. Although Najimi is not good at drawing, she is determined. On her long road to success, both fans and rivals appear.

Based on a 4-koma comedy manga by the well-known doujin mangaka Hiroyuki, serialised in Manga Time Kirara.

About all I can say about Dojin Work is "meh". Essentially, the "aspiring dojinshi artist" plot element felt mostly like a backdrop to me for its humor focused around character quirks and sexual innuendo coming off misunderstood character relationships and the explicitness of erotic doujinshi content which I wasn't laughing at throughout the show's quick run. While I wasn't the biggest fan of Comic Party, the series at least offered up a good look into exploring the ups and downs of doujinshi work compared to this series, and I would recommend it over Dojin Work if you want a believable look into how doujinshi is drawn, produced and sold for conventions.
