Deconstructing Artistic Narratives of Asexuality: A Critical Exploration of Community Dynamics and Identity Formation in Contemporary Manga,
This thesis critically examines how artistic narratives in contemporary manga represent asexuality, exploring their role in shaping community dynamics and influencing identity formation. Through an in-depth analysis of two selected works - Our Dreams at Dusk (March 6, – May 16, ) by Yuhki Kamatani and I Want to Be a Wall (May 17, – June 18, ) by Honami Shirono - this study investigates the ways in which these narratives contribute to the understanding and visibility of asexual identities. Through these texts, this investigate investigates the multifaceted representations of asexual identities within - and against their interactions - with allonormative constructs. This thesis employs a multidisciplinary app
Today we pay tribute to the bara genre, the unsung hero of gay manga.

The word bara is translated literally as &#;rose&#;, and has historically been used in Japan as a pejorative for gay men, as the word &#;pansy&#; has been

While the topics covered in Japanese anime and manga are seemingly endless, if recent hits like "Yuri on Ice" (), or "My Brother’s Husband" () are any indication, gay and homoerotic relationships occupy an extremely popular niche in manga plotlines.
But, "My Brother’s Husband" (which was was remade last year into an NHK drama) and "Yuri on Ice" are only the tip of the iceberg. Receive ready to blush, gasp and kyaaa! as we delve into why gay manga is so trendy , and how to navigate an already huge international fandom.
Gay manga subgenres: BL and Bara
Gay manga has two major subgenres, not to mention the huge variety of plotlines ranging from futuristic dystopian societies to gay cops fighting crime and finding love. "Yuri on Ice" and "My Brother’s Husband" are wonderful examples of these two subgenres.
"Yuri on Ice," a light-hearted love story between a retired master Russian figure skater and his Japanese apprentice, falls under “BL,” or “Boys’ Love” which is a direct translation of shonen’ai (
