More than just an eye for BL: Fujoshi's Queer Affective Literacies
New journal article out! This time, I looks boys love literacies in women's dÅjinshi! I'm embracing the meme since it's an apt level up from 2008 me.
Well, didnāt think a meme would be apt for this moment but I really feel that it has been a journey from this blog to this moment.

Thank you for #Blush801!
Thank you for #Blush801! As promised, here's the lucky 6 who could read BL for month from @futekiya #Blush801
It was a short and sweet event. It was fun seeing everyone celebrate 801 and it was great to also sit back and enjoy this genre that I love.
Itās been a very busy period for me, no thanks to this new normal. So celebrating BL yesterday kept my anxieties at bay. BL helped me recentre my life and focus on whatās importantāboys love. *pfft*

Fujojocast no. 15 - Diversity through Futekiya
In this episode of Fujojocast, I'm joined by Emma Hanashiro from @futekiya and we talk about how their website aims to help diversify our BL reading needs. Fujojocast #15 - Diversity through Futekiya
Futekiyaās Library
Ā When things look glum, itās nice to find the light at the end of the tunnel. If there is one thing great about the world right now is that BL is growing and has become increasingly accessible.
When English-translated BL used to be handled by a select number of companies, some of which have consistently given us heavy hitters while others have broken our hearts, in the lastā¦

The gift of BL on #Blush801
In celebration of Yaoi no Hi, I'm giving away the gift of BL to five lucky people! Check the deets in the post! #Blush801
From Welcome to BL Research by Haruta Ā Today would have been the Blush Convention. For years, as organisers, weāve sought to find ways to hold the con as close to 801 yet schedules fail to align until this year. There were some exciting things that could have happened. We would have had Kumota Haruko as our first BL manga artist as guest! Our array of speakers would have helped us squee overā¦

Spotlight: Kumota Haruko
For #BLush801, I focus my spotlight on Kumota Haruko's works (@mi_and_kei) and the different reasons why her adorable works are worth the journey.
Mii and Kei from Itoshi no Nekokke Ā Hereās the fondest memory I have of Kumota Haruko.Ā Ā I was running around Osaka station, trying to get my google maps to work just to find the exit to Denden town. I had a Shinkansen to catch. I was hungry. I was lugging my luggage around because lockers were unavailable. At this point, Iām running on adrenaline as I found my way out of the stations, rushedā¦

The Multicultural Face of Boys Love
BL has changed in ways that breaks gender, language and spatial barriers. I reflect on the increasingly multicultural face of boys love. What do you think about this global BL explosion? Let me know! #BLush801
Itās been a while since I was a part of a BL party. When I hosted the 801MMF, BL felt brand new. The online community was still shifting from using to yaoi to BL. Yaoi hands were still a thing. And I was eager to talk about diversity in boys love at a time when it was being challenged as a queer text.
Back then, I hoped that people could embrace this media and how this was an empowering space forā¦

Did they say a BL party on 801!?!
I heard @BlushCon is hosting a BL hashtag party for fans of BL manga, ThaiBL, Danmei, BL Manhua, and even fan BL works on 8/01! COUNT ME IN! #BLush801
From Haradaās Happy Kuso Life Ā Hey folks. How are you doing? Ā This new normal has certainly left the introvert in me happy but the lockdown has certainly made me miss some of the fun things I do outside my home. Like walking around a green campus. Having a leisurely cup of coffee while sharing a cake with friends. And of course, conventions.Ā Ā Virtual conventions (or even conferences) areā¦

Fujojocast No. 14: When Asian Fans Socially Distance because of Cultural Tensions in Fandom
In response to discussions on race in fandom, Fujojocast returns as my friends, Rael, @jpopmanila, @kitsune_jade, and @wittle_m talk about the cultural tensions we face as Filipino Asians fans.

In case you missed the memo, fandom is not a safe place, especially for BIPOC fans.
Itās something that we Asian fans have been keenly aware of since our engagement online. Itās something that has been documented by scholars. In the last week, as different organisations respond to justice and equality, the Organisation forā¦

Fujojocast No. 13: A Thai BL Primer with Thomas Baudinette
Fujojocast is back with @tbaudinette! This time, we talk about #ThaiBL, its history and its ties with Japan and the Philippines! #2gethertheseries #brightwin #ąøąø±ą¹ąøąøąø¹ #ąøąø±ą¹ąøąøąø¹ep13
BL is taking an interesting turn and itās not happening on the shelves of Ikebukuro but on television broadcasts and streams in Thailand. Thai BL has become a hot topic in recent years and as someone invested in boys love culture, the world of boys love in Thailand has definitely piqued my curiosity. My enabler for this is none other than Dr. Thomas Baudinette who has watched every Thai BL everā¦

Just when I thought Iād have a little break to write something for this blog, Iām swept away by strong currents of school work, papers, and other things. Iāve been working hard to find time to settle and for some magical reason, after sleepless nights pouring through papers, I found myself some free time to write. Because you know what, I HAVE BEENā¦

45. Tokkyū!! by Komori Yoichi and Kubo Mitsurou
Komori Yoichi and Kubo Mitsurou's (@kubo_3269) Tokkyū!! is filled with amazing heroes. I love this manga so much.
Not once did I ever imagine that I would be so engrossed over a rescue team. When I was young, Baywatch glamorised rescues on the telly. Having lived along a typhoon belt, I knew better heroes than those lifeguards in orange. Every typhoon season, I bear witness to neighbours, friends, and families braving the torrential rain to save people. People didnāt need all the fancy boats and jet skis toā¦
