Juvenile love
The initial appearance of "juvenile love" is the name used by the "24 groups" who created girls' cartoons. The 24 groups are simply a group of girls' cartoonists born around the 24th year of Showa (1949), including Keiko Takemiya, Moto Hagio, Ryouko Yamagishi and Yumiko Ooshima. At that time, the plot mainly described the same-sex feelings among teenagers, which tended to be spiritual or with a philosophical smell. In terms of sociality, at that time, it was not as good as now, because of many gay movements or media reports, when the public was more accepting of homosexuality, most of the works were shrouded in a dark and even gloomy tone.
70s-90s
JUNE“JUNE "came from JUN Magazine, which was first published in 1978. After the third issue, it was renamed JUNE. At first, Keiko Takemiya's cartoon was published, and the novel was written by the writer Kaoru Kurimoto (Nakajima catalpa). In addition, there were famous authors such as Toshie Kihara and Yasuko Qingchi. The key theme of the magazine is beautiful teenagers, and of course there is no shortage of love descriptions between beautiful teenagers. The content revolves around the beauty of beauty (in this case, beauty simply represents aestheticism). For example, Kaoru Kurimoto once discussed the suitable name, personality and clothes of beautiful teenagers in JUNE, and branded them. JUNE closed the issue in 1979 and resumed it in 198 1 year. 198 1 years later, Yoshida Akimi, Bojin Binzi, Takaguchi Lichun and others appeared in this magazine. By February, 2004, the general issue of 153 was closed, and the quarterly novel JUNE DX was changed (different from the previous issue of the same name), but it was changed to be published irregularly soon.
Yaoi（やおい）
1979 The word "やぉぃ" first appeared in the fan chronicles edited by Bojin Binzi, mainly in the second half of the 1970s, because of the trend of gay men's fan chronicles caused by the animation "Gundam of Mobile Suit" (translated by Taiwan Province: Mobile Suit Steel Bullet), and these fan creators ridiculed their works as "Mountain". Translated meaning: no climax, no result, no meaning, but there is H (sex) fan creation. However, in the mid-1980s, fan groups with the theme of "Soccer Kid" appeared one after another, and most of their works contained sexual scenes. At this time, the word "やぉぃ" gradually became the representative word of male homosexual love comic novels.
In this free environment, readers who love to read girls' comics can't resist their itchy curiosity and try to pick up the pen automatically. Baptized by the delicate shapes of characters and the delicate relationship between characters in girls' cartoons, this model has penetrated into the hearts of girls. In fact, this is the relationship model constructed by many girls, and this construction project is the responsibility of the female girl cartoonist. On the other hand, most of the women in the juvenile comics at that time were put in as vases and runners.
In the early days, JUNE and やぉぃ represented the creation of business chronicles and fan chronicles, respectively. However, in the later period, the so-called narrow and broad terms やぉぃ appeared because of the expansion of やぉぃ. やぉぃ in a narrow sense simply refers to the same-sex comic novels created by men, while やぉぃ in a broad sense is generally referred to as male same-sex comics and novels described by women.
Boys' Love（ボーイズラブ）
In the 1990s, "Boys' Love(ボーイズラブ, referred to as BL)" first appeared in the b-Boy magazine published by BIBLOS. Because of its emphasis on comedy ending, b-Boy magazine said that the style they published was more JUNE-style, which should be said to be Boys' Love style. So Boys' Love is associated with bright and brisk comedy. However, if it is not specifically defined, the word Boys' Love can now represent almost the whole male homosexual creation in love women, regardless of comics, games, novels, original works, originality, business and fan ambition.
BIBLOS Publishing House went bankrupt on March 3rd, 20061,because the president failed to invest in IT industry. Later, ANIMATE bought BIBLOS editorial department and set up a new publishing house.
BL agitation
The Japanese style of BL is the most prosperous. CLAMP, a powerful force in the altar, also has works full of BL breath, such as Shengzhuan, Babylonia in Tokyo, Psychedelic Drugs Bureau, and KINOMOTO SAKURA (translated by Taiwan Province: the wizard of Koro, in which Touya and Mountain hare are also full of BL consciousness). Therefore, CLAMP has spared no effort in promoting BL.
The development of BL in Hong Kong and Taiwan Province has also increased steadily, and BL-related web pages can be seen everywhere. In the early days, there were many works of BL fans, such as ICLUBS, and the well-known works of BL fans also appeared in "A Man Should Enter a Dunk" (translated by Taiwan Province) and "Romance of the Gods".
After ICLUBS was shut down due to unknown factors, it was replaced by websites provided by the Qimo family or publishing houses (such as Fresh Literature Network, Adventurer Paradise, Taiwan Province Forum, Overhead Capital, etc.), and various personal websites and blogs, where BL works can be seen, and the works that can be used as chronicles are also very diverse.
Is it homosexuality who is obsessed with BL works?
Generally speaking, BL can be regarded as another term for gay men. But the viewers of its related works are not necessarily gay. The main audience of BL works in the early days was women, and later there was also a fascination with gay men, and then there was also a fascination with men with normal sexual orientation, but it was only pseudo-homosexuality. That is to say, it is psychologically accepted but physically unacceptable, but in the future, people in this category may have sex with men much more than straight men (heterosexual men).
In Japan, fan zhi has become the symbol of the animation industry and the object sought after by many animation enthusiasts. In China, there is also such a trend. For example, in Baidu's animation classification, anime fans occupy a separate category and are extremely popular. But "fan zhi" is not just about BL comics. Fanzhi generally refers to all similar derivatives of ordinary comics, novels and cartoons. Therefore, men who read the fan stories are not necessarily reading BL comics. I have heard that men bought the fan stories of Gundam and ended up buying the fan stories of Gundam BL, with black lines ||| |.
Women are a kind of perceptual creatures, influenced by the handsome men in cartoons, and are easy to indulge in sentimental things, so once they step into BL Road, it is really not easy to get out. When men look at BL, they are often deeply influenced by the shape of characters. Some men have said that reading BL comics has no disgusting feeling at all, but watching GV is unacceptable. There are also some rotten women. Some rotten women have said that she has seen all kinds of BL comic novels and animations, but she just can't see real people. Because that will make her disillusioned, BL is often divorced from the imagination of people who exist in reality. What they like are love stories with no ideal, aestheticism and reality. At present, most comic novel networks have a special category to put BL. The popularity of BL is inseparable from the influence of the tide of rotten women.
What does Tammy have to do with BL?
BL is indeed a very important and main school of beauty, and in many cases both can even be used interchangeably. But it also includes martial arts, fantasy, suspense reasoning, modern history ... in fact, everything that can give readers a pure beauty enjoyment is a theme of beauty. Therefore, BL is only a part of beauty.
Describing a text or a picture with words or brushes is extremely beautiful, and when it reaches the aesthetic realm, it is called beauty. The following is a sentence to illustrate. Ordinary writing: he was drinking cold beer, but he accidentally spilled some wine from his wide mouth. He quickly stuck out his tongue and licked it. How to write: He drank the cold orange liquid, but accidentally spilled some residual juice from his half-open thin lips. He spat out his red tongue and licked it. Note: Indulgence in beauty is not only applicable to bl, but also to the general direction. It is a general term for aestheticism centuries ago. But now, after it spread from JAPAN to Taiwan Province, everyone seems to regard it as a synonym for bl. In fact, it is the synonym for BL in JAPANJUNE, which is completely different from the beauty of Chinese characters.
What is beauty?
The word "indulge in beauty" first appeared in modern Japanese literature, which is another literary writing style to oppose "naturalism" literature. The original intention of the "beauty-obsessed school" is to "oppose naturalism, which mainly exposes the ugly side of human nature, and find out the functional beauty, indulge in it and pursue the significance of literature" Tanbi is pronounced as Tanbi in Japanese, which means "aestheticism and romance". Indulge in women's music, regardless of national politics, then the disaster of national subjugation is also ("Everything is done wrong"); And spend a lot of time in Tian Jiale (Li Bai's "Gift to Chu Shi"). Indulge in beauty, this explanation can make outsiders quickly grasp the essence of beauty. In a word, it's no different.
[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to development
[tanbi] is pronounced in Japanese, translated in Chinese as "aestheticism", and explained in detail as "the most flawless beauty that contains all beautiful things and can make people touch". As a genre, it was popular in Japanese literature as early as the 1930s and 1940s, and it was regarded as a branch of romanticism. Many novelists, including Yukio Mishima, a great master of Japanese literature, had been influenced by this. However, after the 1960s, the word gradually broke away from its original meaning and became a general term for a kind of derivative products in comics, which is what we call "BL" today, an anime (novel) work describing the love between men and women.
Up to now, names such as Danmei, Tongren, YAOI and BL are becoming popular, which may not be much different for most people who like this, but in fact, each word represents a complete era, supports the reproduction of such works, and strictly distinguishes it from gay literature in real life. Yes, BL is essentially
In this way, riding the wind of the times, a golden age like a dream has arrived. There is nothing that can't be seen, nothing that doesn't look good, and only whether it can withstand the difference in intensity, which really develops the style of "beauty" to the limit. However, the golden age was so short that it came to an abrupt end after the serialization of two works in 1984, and it entered the next era early with the drive of another trend. ......
[Edit this paragraph] Another starting point
Since the late 1970s, Japan has entered an era of rapid economic growth. New methods, new ideas, new everything, a vibrant market is presented to everyone. Wages have been greatly increased, and women have changed from a frugal family subject to an important consumer subject. 1983, women's magazines had the highest record in history, and 250 magazines were founded. 1986, the Law on Equal Employment Opportunities for Men and Women was promulgated, and a large number of women began to leave their homes and become well-paid OL families, which further stimulated the consumption of competitive hearts. Coupled with the extremely inflated emptiness caused by the bubble economy, women began to enter an era of "being catered to".
With the financial ability, the status of being catered to and pleased, the completely normal girlish change of girls' comic magazines under the psychological trend of the great era, and the simple spirit of "friendship" and "struggle" in teenagers' annals, these can no longer meet the needs of women in this era. I hope to see more intense and feminine emotions and expect to be recognized, but it is hindered by the difficulty of obtaining commercial permission. Therefore, empathy has become an excellent means of expression. As a result, the whole 80' s became an era of great fan ambition, and one of the works that contributed to this was CAPTAIN Wing (Soccer Kid).
The comic book "CAPTAIN Wing" serialized from 198 1 has achieved unparalleled commercial success, and the whole Japanese society has been involved in it, and this craze has gradually infected those female readers who were originally indifferent to juvenile comics. This trend reached its peak in 1985, and the fans of C Wing began to get hot. Different from the last stage, because of the abundance of money, there is an "anti-business" trend in almost all the local chronicles, and money is no longer the representative of "evil" but a dispensable thing.
What is society and what is money? This idea is fully displayed in the annals of the same people. Abandoning the pain of being oppressed by "reality" in the last era, although all the fans in this period have become "contemporary and local", they are further out of touch with society. Perhaps this will lead to a lack of integrity in the work, but the description of feelings is purely incredible. Without the obstacles of reality, money and society, if love has twists and turns, it must be their own emotional problems and will not be disturbed by any external things. Such intense feelings are undoubtedly a great temptation to women at the peak of the bubble economy.
From1380 clubs in May, 1980 and 6,000 participants to 13,000 clubs in August, 1990 and 230,000 participants, a simple number calculation can represent everything. Here, numerous people who became professional cartoonists grew up, such as Takahashi, CLAMP ("Babylon in Tokyo"), Ozaki Mina ("Dearest Love") and Setona Mizushiro, which laid a solid foundation for the next era.
Yaoi-the pursuit of equal love
1990, the bubble economy reached its peak, and the biggest sign was the unrealistic difference between output and demand. In order to pursue profits, a large number of magazines launched new issues to expand the market. Finally, businessmen turned their attention to the "colleagues" who aroused the interest of countless women. So in 1989 and early 1990, some American-obsessed publications started. But in April of 1990, something happened that changed the whole Japanese economy-the collapse of the bubble economy.
The exaggerated figures piled up finally could not bear the oppression of reality, and they were completely scattered. Large enterprises closed down, a large number of layoffs, the economy entered a downturn, and the domestic sales grew slowly ... The terrible situation gave everyone a blow, and countless new publications were a flash in the pan. Businessmen who were hit hard began to raise their feet. What should we do? What should I do?
However, in a downturn, almost all the publications that are addicted to beauty have survived, and they are unexpectedly popular. This is undoubtedly like a shot in the arm. How can businessmen who have enjoyed the sweetness miss the opportunity? Therefore, Tammy has entered the era of commercialization.
But ... Why can such things be popular? This should start with the popularity of peers.
Boy's Love—— Happy, disappearing sideline.
After several years' integration in the early 1990s, many magazines went through ups and downs, and finally made their own way in elimination and survival. Then, during 1997-98, a large number of American-obsessed magazines suddenly began to be published, including the now very famous BE BOY GOLD and Clear. The most direct reason for this result is an animation-Gospel Warrior of the New Century, which is the EVA we are familiar with.
In 1995-96, this animation achieved amazing social effects, which brought the reflection and depression of the whole society. Why live, how to survive, the inequality between men and women, the sense of crisis under pressure, all these things have surfaced.
How can we fight these emotions?
The BL comics that appeared at this time are excellent cures. It is very timely to quell the oppression of women's heavy consciousness and turn their attention to another angle. This kind of work finally has a unified name-boys' love, love between boys.
It doesn't involve the current social situation or other important things, but simply depicts love, which is relaxed, pleasant and beautiful. Generally, the background is ordinary life, and lovers will not encounter any resistance or misery. The equal love relationship meets the needs of women who grew up in the 1980s. As a result, more and more people have fallen into this circle. The trend of the magazine is completely positioned as "HAPPY END", with a happy ending. All tragedies and cruelty have disappeared, with almost no exceptions. Because this is the demand of the whole society.
With the continuous downturn of the comic industry, this style has expanded from specialized magazines and appeared everywhere. There are more "service shots" in ordinary girls' cartoons, but there are screaming behaviors called "ambiguous" in teenagers' cartoons ... Merchants get profits, women are satisfied, and they get a wider range of recognition and permission under the promotion of each other. So-
The arrival of women's era? People rule everything?
Laugh ~ ~ Maybe you don't need to think so much. After all, the reality facing Japan is overwhelming, so why not take shelter from the wind in this pure land? BL, merits and demerits? After reading this article, I believe that the answer is already in my heart, so I don't have to care so much, as long as I can get what I need from it, right?
BL, in fact, is also useful and invincible ...

Mode of attack and attack
1.[Strong attack and weak reception]
It is common and the easiest to write. A small attack is very strong, powerful and omnipotent, and a small victim is basically a little beauty. If it is too weak, wait for a small attack to bully him to death. Even if a small victim doesn't want to, he can't resist. If it's not warm, it will be boring. It's still worth seeing if you want to add some ups and downs to both sides. The key depends on how you grasp it. Sebastian × Shire (sometimes the young master will be physically exhausted, so he is weak =V=), and Prynne X Gangji [governess] is a model of storming the weak, and good X leaves [psychic king], dark game X table game [game king] and so on belong to this category. In fact, from a certain angle, the same is true of Yutang X.
2. [Weak attack and weak reception]
The most difficult type to play, it is not easy to write well. Borrowing an easy-to-understand sentence from others is "You love me, I dare not say, I love you, I dare not do it." It's like this = = It belongs to a kind that can drag the play, and there are many ambiguous side balls. It is very difficult for two weak people to develop to XXOO level ||||||| This example is hard to find |||||||| The early Dior X catroux budget estimate (I don't know? Up to WING! ! )
3. [Weak attack and strong acceptance]
The so-called weak and strong, generally refers to the body. The attacking body is weak, and the type of boiled chicken is also. And the body is stronger, muscular and masculine. This type of hobby is relatively small, but it is really cute like the weak and strong in the next class, so it has gathered quite a few fans. Due to the limitation of the type of attack, many times the weak will be derived from the strong. For example, the most typical one should be Mitsukuni Haninoduka X Takashi Morinozuka (embarrassed, in male public relations).
4. [storm and suffer]
This is the man ~ ~ star eyes ~ ~ ~ seems to be the most popular one at present. Small attacks and small receptions are very strong, one is strong and the other is strong. Ah ~~~~SM is the most violent ~ ~ ~ ~ How come the whip just refuses to bow its head ~ ~ ~ ~ (adjust your expression when you find your gaffe | |) Of course, if the small audience is too strong, there may be mutual attacks, such as Guan and Jing (there are vacant eyes under the stage, gee ~ ~~K.O.F! ! People who don't understand should play arcade more! ! > _< ) sebastian × Shire [Black Deacon], Vegeta × Wukong [Dragon Ball], Saito × Cang Zi [Lang Ke Jian Xin] are this kind, as well as Sauron × Shan Zhi [One Piece], Sasuke × Naruto [Naruto] and Saeki × Yutang.
