801. Yaoi. Boy’s Love. Tanbi. Shounen-Ai. BL. Pr0n.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Call it whatever you want.<\/p>\n

Fujoshi. Fudanshi. Fujojo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Call us whatever you want.<\/p>\n

We probably wouldn’t care because all we know is that 8\/01 is our special day and here in Otaku Champloo we’ll be celebrating a fiesta for what we fujoshi love: Boys Love manga.<\/p>\n

From 8\/01 until 8\/10 (OMG YES!) Otaku Champloo will be celebrating Boys Love manga with all you fujojos and curious bypassers out there. For ten days (FO REALS!), we’ll be talking about those comics where boys who like boys who do boys like they’re girls or like boys! We\u00e2’ll be talking about our favorite titles, our favorite ships, and our favorite kinks.<\/p>\n

The 801 MMF will be a celebration of a genre that has been around for forty years and has given countless of women thousands of feels which eventually transformed manga conventions by producing works that challenge Japanese concepts of aesthetics, fiction, and sexuality.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an exciting time to be a fujoshi! So if you have some thoughts and feels about Boy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Love, feel free to join us in the 801 MMF!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BUT OMG, KHURSTEN! I have so many feels and thoughts about BL manga, can’t I just give you my entire website!<\/h3>\n

Worry not! I’ll do my best to contain your feels! In fact, here are the categories where you can contribute to the 801 MMF!<\/p>\n

OUR BL FAVORITES<\/strong>
– Write a post about your top five favorite BL titles, the kind that you have double copies of just so you can lend it to people! Tell us why you love it and why other people should be reading it too. You can do this by titles or by authors!<\/p>\n

OUR BL LIFE<\/strong>
– One of the things I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve learned is BL has changed a lot of people. Throughout the years, BL\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s transformative power has been studied by many people but nothing amazes us more than hearing the voices of fellow BL fans and their BL . Tell us your thoughts about BL: from your feels about kinks in BL manga, to the crazy fandoms, to the love and hate of fujoshis, and maybe just how BL has changed things in your life.<\/p>\n

BL WEBCOMIC UPDATES<\/strong>
– We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re listing again our favorite\u00a0BL Webcomics<\/a>! And we want to hear from you your favorites that didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make it to last year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s BL webcomic list! <3 I have a few titles in mind but let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s see what you fujojos and fudanshis have found on the internet.<\/p>\n

Throughout this week, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be keeping up with your links while posting my own posts on BL too! Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s share stories and hopefully encourage more fujoshi to get back into their BL habit!<\/p>\n

Is my contribution a BL title?<\/h3>\n

The easiest solution is to look at the publisher.\u00a0In the US you have Sublime and DMG who publish BL titles. If it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in their roster, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s definitely BL. Old publishers like Blu, Netcomics, \u00a0and Aurora also sold BL titles!<\/p>\n

If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re sending in a review of a Japanese title, check the publishers. Anything by Libre is BL\/yaoi in nature. Asuka, Akaneshinsha, Tokyo Mangasha, Shodensha (particularly their On Blue line), are also BL.<\/p>\n

It becomes tougher if you want to tackle classic BL manga. According to the Fujoshi manga issue of Eureka, titles that tackle homosexuality by the Year 24 group are considered BL. In the 1980s, titles by Akimi Yoshida such as California Monogatari, Banana Fish and Yasha are also runners for BL. Even Yun Kouga\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Loveless is a BL classic.<\/p>\n

If you tell me that Kuroko no Basuke and Tenipuri should be here, well no. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll leave that for another event!\u00a0\":D\"<\/p>\n

Hold it, Fujojo! There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more!<\/h3>\n

In celebration of this fiyaysta, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll also be giving away 8 special BL books to fans. One of them can serve as a fujoshi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lethal weapon! So watch out over the next few days on how you guys will get to have a chance to win some lovelies from me!<\/p>\n

Okay, my body’s ready!<\/h3>\n
