Japanese Boy's Love Publishing Industry
by Emi
In Japan, the commercial genre known as Boy's Love (BL) consists mainly of books and a rapidly expanding number of drama CDs and computer games. Boy's Love books can be divided into manga (comics) and novels. Although they are equally popular in Japan, manga have been much more popular in the US due to the language barrier.
