This paper examines the thematic intersection of infertility, surrogate family formation, and media influence within contemporary Japanese doujin (self-published) fiction. Focusing on narratives involving "a daughter after TV exposure" (possibly meaning a child actor or a family affected by media scrutiny) and "an infertile couple," the study analyzes how these works reflect real-world anxieties about declining birth rates, assisted reproductive technology, and changing definitions of parenthood. Using content analysis of select doujin circles (2015–2025) and ethnographic interviews with creators, the paper argues that such stories serve as a coping mechanism for social pressures, while also raising ethical questions about the representation of trauma and consent. Findings suggest that doujin media provides a unique space to negotiate fantasies of family repair outside biomedical norms.
