1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

BJD in Manga

May 23, 2022

    1. Hey guys, a couple of years ago I saw a manga online about a young woman who makes BJDs out of clay. she gets a special batch of clay from a friend and makes seven dolls out of it. Her friend said that if you make dolls from it and then kiss them they come to life. Well, she does and they do! Does anyone recognize or remember this manga cause I cant seem to find it again!

    3. Rozen Maiden has seven dolls but the rest of your description doesn't match, from what little I recall..

      EDITED TO ADD: I just googled Neringu Project and that sounds like @Epicari knows what you're looking for.

    4. I don't know which one you are referring to exactly, but these two came to mind:
      1. The Princess's Doll Shop Princess’s Doll Shop Manga - ZINMANHWA
      A young girl - a nominal princess - escaped from the palace and opened up her own doll shop. She makes several male dolls that were helpful for her.

      2. Shounen Dolls Shounen Dolls Manga Online Free - Manganelo
      A girl who can speak to dolls is on the quest to becoming the true heir of a family clan of dollmakers.

      And while we're on the topic of doll-related manga, here are a couple you might be interested in.
      3. Mitsukaru Mihara, Dolls Doll (manga) - Wikipedia
      Doll-looking androids and their stories.

      4. Mishima Kazuhiko, Lover Doll Lovers Doll.
      Caution: BL content

      If you find the one you are looking for, please let us know! I'd love to add one more doll-related manga to my list.

    8. I knew exactly which one you meant when I read the first post! Other works from Furuya have been published in English, and I've bought all of them, so I'm hoping they'll get around to this one. :eusa_pray
