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. 606 $aYoung gay men$vComic books, strips, etc$zJapan 606 $aRomance comic books, strips, etc$zJapan 606 $aWomen cartoonists$zJapan 606 $aYoung women$xBooks and reading$zJapan 606 $aGirls$xBooks and reading$zJapan 606 $aSex in popular culture$zJapan 615 0$aYoung gay men 615 0$aRomance comic books, strips, etc. 615 0$aWomen cartoonists 615 0$aYoung women$xBooks and reading 615 0$aGirls$xBooks and reading 615 0$aSex in popular culture 676 $a741.5/952 686 $aCGN004120$aSOC022000$aSOC052000$2bisacsh 702 $aMcLelland$b Mark J.$f1966-2020, 702 $aAoyama$b Tomoko 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788173703321 996 $aBoys love manga and beyond$93869042 997 $aUNINA
