Dōjin Work follows the life of a young girl named Najimi Osana and her exposure into the dōjin world. She was first tempted into becoming a dōjin artist after seeing how much one of her friends can make at a convention. Najimi loves to draw, though soon learns contrary to what she expected that this new world is anything but easy. As she attends more conventions and meets more people, Najimi eventually manages to find a group of very interesting friends. These friends already have some experience in the field and help her out along the way so that she can someday make a name for herself creating dōjinshi.

An anime television series adaptation animated by Remic aired in Japan from July 4, 2007, to September 19, 2007, and is directed by Kenichi Yatagai. The anime features a live-action segment towards the end of each episode in which voice actors Kimiko Koyama and Momoko Saito try to create their own dōjinshi.[2] Should they fail to do so, the two are to pose in embarrassing costumes as a way of apologizing to the fans. Due to the live-action segment, the anime runs fourteen minutes including the opening and ending animations, which means the live-action segment runs ten minutes. The anime has been licensed by Media Blasters, and they released the first English DVD on January 27, 2009.[3]
The opening and ending theme maxi singles, "I~jan! Yūjō" (い～じゃん!友情, "It's Fine! Friendship") by Maki and "Yumemiru Otome" (夢みる乙女, "Girls Who Dream") by Mai Mizuhashi respectively, were released on July 25, 2007, by Media Factory. The original soundtrack for the anime was released on September 21, 2007, also by Media Factory.
