After hearing about this, Shino on a whim asks him out without realizing how seriously he took this system. Seryou has an idiosyncratic pattern of dating the first person to ask him out for exactly one week, all the while making them the center of his attention but then dumping them abruptly if he doesn’t fall in love. It’s the story of two high school students Shino and Seryou who are both a hit with the ladies and members of the school archery team.

And since MangaPlaza was offering a one-week free trial, it seemed like a good risk-free opportunity to finally expose myself to some of these works. I have to figure that there’s probably some aspect that’s universally good about it that makes it so widely popular. Still, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little curious. And yet, I’ve never actually read any of it – perhaps unsurprisingly, since as a 42-year-old father of two who considers Predator 2 the apex of cinema, I’m probably not its target demographic. But it’s always interesting to see how far its come, now that it’s being boasted in services aimed at Western audiences.īL as an established genre was still in its infancy ages ago when I started writing for this website, so in a way it kind of feels like we both grew up together. Prominent promotion of BL these days is not so shocking, and even major bookstores in Japan have entire sections dedicated to it. What struck me about it was the mention of a wide selection of Boys’ Love (BL) and the adult-oriented evolution of josei manga marketed towards women called Teens’ Love (TL), two relatively new genres to the mainstream scene. That’s a great idea and all, but something near the end of their ad caught me a little by surprise. Run by NTT Solmare, it’s a part of a growing movement by manga publishers to help curb the rapidly growing problem of piracy in the medium. The other day, I heard about a new online English-language manga service called MangaPlaza. They say you can’t teach an old dog new homoerotic literature.
