Little gay anime boys
Around 60 percent of them are aged between 15 and 29 years old. In contrast, BL has some gay and bisexual - as well as heterosexual male - readers, but its fan base is predominantly heterosexual young women. The majority of readers of both categories are women, but most female fans of slash fiction identify as other than heterosexual. This is “boys’ love,” (BL) the Japanese genre of manga, novels, anime, movies, and now computer games, that features love relationships between young men, but, to our surprise, are not made for a gay audience.īoys’ love is similar to the West’s slash fiction in that they both depict homosexual relationships and have emerged in large part due to the amateur creations of the genres’ fans. Here, alongside softer images of romance on titles for elementary school girls, you will find glossy covers featuring only pretty boys - some of them closing in to kiss each other. Now go to the part of the manga section that is furthest from the entrance. Even before one brushstroke of word or picture is written, the assumption is clear that girls exist to titillate men, whether they be characters, readers, or the wider patriarchal society as a whole. Walk into the manga section of your local Japanese bookstore and the overwhelming image you will see is one of a wide-eyed girl with impossible melon breasts in an available position.

In a nation where patriarchy remains strong, Boys' Love homoerotic manga and other fictional media give women and girls a world of escapism from societal constraints.
