about
This site was first opened on April 22nd, 2004. After quite some time in hiatus (kinda), it was revamped in 2007 and had lots of stuff changed till it looked like you're seeing it now. Maybe you're wondering what's with the site's name, Panikku. Well, nothing really. It's the katakana way of writing 'panic' and it doesn't hold much sense... I just thought it sounded nice. So, yeah.
My name is Estefania and, as you have probably guessed already, I love collecting doujinshi. I live in Spain and my Japanese is pretty much non-existant, but there's something about doujinshi I just can't resist. I've been observing, learning and searching for several years now, so my collection is decently big. Still, I always find new works from my favorite doujinshi-ka or get introduced in new fandoms that make me add new items to my wishlist. However, my main fandoms and the ones that make most of my collection are Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece and Naruto.
You're now seeing version 3 of this website. Finally decided to not use a doujinshi scan, I'm growing more worried to piss doujinshi-kas off with time, I guess. But anyway, it's a totally wondeful Honey & Clover illustration by Umino Chika featuring Takemoto, Hagu, Ayumi, Morita, Mayama and Leader ♥ It's called Hachimitsu because it means "honey"... though this should be obvious for everyone that read/watched the series.
I used Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and Notepad, nothing else. Very few effects were used, but check my resources post if you're interested. Image was borrowed from online raw scans, most probably downloaded from the hachikuro community at livejournal.
