R to @jnc_knight: A failing novelist wakes up *inside* his own BL story?! But not as his noble protagonist… instead, as Kreis: a lackey doomed to die for his boss’ misdeeds. Given a second chance, he vows to dodge a tragic plot & take revenge on those who hurt him.

A failing novelist wakes up *inside* his own BL story?! But not as his noble protagonist… instead, as Kreis: a lackey doomed to die for his boss’ misdeeds. Given a second chance, he vows to dodge a tragic plot & take revenge on those who hurt him.

R to @jnc_knight: With fate shifting and feelings growing, Kreis is done being a side character; he’s going to overcome limitations, shrug off those who neglected him, and find his idea of self-fulfillment. He’s here to take control of the ending—and maybe win the final boss’s heart?

R to @jnc_knight: The BL we know and love today is the result of a rich history of independent artists and writers–many queer, many trans, many women– who actively sought to tell stories outside the traditional & often oppressive narratives of male/female dynamics.

R to @jnc_knight: The term “Boys’ Love” was coined during the 1990s and became an umbrella term for m/m content within Japanese publishing. This era marked a shift –no longer was the genre parodied and sidelined as publishing houses started to realize the commercial value of deeper queer stories.

R to @jnc_knight: Comiket, a dōjinshi fair and creator meetup, provided a space for aspiring manga-ka to cement the genre of “Yaoi”. In the 1980s, “yaoi” started to take the stage as a genre of note and reflected the ever-growing desire for stories beyond the mainstream.
