Doujin Market (Doujima), Singapore’s largest showcase of pop culture inspired art, illustration, and independent creators turns 10 this year, and fans are in for a treat come 11-12 May!

This edition of Doujin Market spans three halls, and features some 600 talented creators hailing from 15 countries worldwide.

The event will also introduce a range of brand-new content fueled by a plethora of partnerships in the gaming and publishing spheres, as well as the return of portfolio reviews and featured artists.

“We want to make Doujima a show for creators of every stripe – not just arts and illustration. What better time to do this than during our 10th anniversary?” said Jason Koh, founder and producer of Doujin Market.

“We’ve taken the best parts of what made us Singapore’s premier pop culture creators convention over the years, and dialed it up to 11. We’ll continue striving to provide creators in Singapore and the region with an affordable, accessible, and most importantly, visible platform in the years to come”, he added.

In addition to Avernative Production, who will once again be co-presenting the event, Doujin Market has partnered with Singapore Games Association (SGGA) to support the indie game ecosystem. The inaugural indie games zone will feature 9 titles, including those by homegrown studios Cloud of Pinky LLC (Harpy Raiders), Daffodil Starlight (Meow Meow Wizard Arena) and Miniversal Games (Mimicries). The area will also feature Taiwanese game studio CreSpirit’s TEVI, and five games presented by TZ APAC Pte. Ltd. 

“I’m elated to see indie games being given the spotlight alongside the many talented creators that Doujin Market is known for,” said Cheryl Chong, Project Manager of Singapore Games Association (SGGA). “I look forward to seeing our local creators take steps towards cooperating with game developers.”

Also debuting at Doujin Market is Comic Toranoana, a stalwart in Japan’s doujin and independent self-publishing landscape. A leading doujin store with nearly 30 years of history, they will be showcasing a selection of products, as well as their Fantia web portal for creators.

To make going professional more accessible, portfolio reviews return this year, with the creator of the Geungsi graphic novel, Sean Lam, in attendance. Also at the show are veteran artists Darren Tan and Julian Kok, who made their mark with the wildly popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering. They will be showcasing their recent work at Doujin Market for the first time.

Visitors hoping for more analog entertainment can make their way to the Tabletop Playspace. Sign up to try out Dungeons & Dragons, learn how to paint miniatures, play board game demos by Origame and more!
