Well, technically, doujinshi that are derivatives of someone else's work (eg Naruto) are illegal in both the US AND Japan. However, the manga industry usually looks the other way for a variety of different reasons. 1. Doujinshi is where a lot of new talent is discovered. 2. Many artists supplement their salary by producing doujinshi, even though they are serialized mangaka. 3. It is believed that doujinshi can actually stimulate interest in a series, and thus generate more profit for the official works. 4. Doujinshi really don't hurt anyone. They don't take profits away from official companies, because Shounen Jump isn't going to be putting out SasNaru slash anyways...

What Is Doujinshi
Doujinshi is manga created by fans based off of a work that has already been created.
Must of it is comedic, but it is quite varied nonetheless.

Ah, the glory that is Wikipedia:

It's usually by fans, and its the porn version of an anime and/org manga. It is of course 18+ rated
it really is fan-made manga. some if it is pure porn.. others are gag and comedic.
