Description
The boys love (BL) genre was created for girls and women by young female manga (comic) artists in early 1970s Japan to challenge oppressive gender and sexual norms. Over the years, BL has seen almost irrepressible growth in popularity. Queer Transfigurations is the first detailed examination of the BL media explosion across Asia.
