This genre was first developed in Japan in the early 1970's by a group of female artists. By the late 1970's, many amateur women fans were getting involved and creating and self-publishing homoerotic parodies of established male manga characters and popular media figures. The popularity of these encouraged a surge in the number of commercial titles. Today, a wide range of products, produced both by professionals and amateurs, is rapidly gaining a global audience. This book provides an overview of the BL phenomenon in Japan, its history and various subgenres and introduces translations of some key Japanese scholarship not otherwise available.Young gay menComic books, strips, etcJapanRomance comic books, strips, etcJapanWomen cartoonistsJapanYoung womenBooks and readingJapanGirlsBooks and readingJapanSex in popular cultureJapanYoung gay menRomance comic books, strips, etc.Women cartoonistsYoung womenBooks and readingGirlsBooks and readingSex in popular culture741.5/952CGN004120SOC022000SOC052000bisacshMcLelland Mark J.1966-2020,Aoyama TomokoMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788173703321Boys love manga and beyond3869042UNINA
