He seems to be a really sincere artist based on his interview. This opened the door for gay manga for me. It left me excited knowing there's so much great material yet to be translated from Japanese. Because I have to say, it seems like a pretty poor show. Nearly every one of the artists featured here discusses the issue of online piracy of their work, especially from foreign sources.
Also, there was a lack of consent. More reviews and ratings. The interviews often felt like they were about what the interviewers wanted them to say rather than about allowing the artists to speak their own thoughts in their own words. A few incomplete clips doesn't realy serve much practical purpose. I'm just full of radical opinions]--but unfortunately those kinks are in about half the sections, so that's half the book that already isn't speaking to me or, in the case of the Gengoroh Tagame excerpt, is actively disturbing me.
I digress, though. Being gay, finding this collection at my local library instantly piqued my interest. An essay accompanies each short story in this anthology to discuss the career of the mangaka and the context, history, and intentions of his work. The images are graphic, but the essays are incredibly informative about the artists, their work styles, and their inspirations. The lingering feelings of heartbreak from his relationship alongside some truly humorous moments and cute art honoring the husky men out there, both muscular and not, made this really sweet, so I'll be curious to check out some of Yoshi's other work.
Was it meant to pave the way for introducing more gay manga to the western world? Granted BL, is a woman writing about love between guys, even so, it was a start to many of the gentlemen's foray into the art practice to begin their careers. Absolutely worth it! I think is great the way we see the different art styles starting with Gengoroh Tagame who looks like he was a big inspiration to a huge part of the artists.
Because I have to say, it seems like a pretty poor show. All in all, I hope a less kinky version of gay erotic manga collection comes out cause I think I would enjoy that much massive gay manga and the men who make it than what I got. But the men of stories still want to do it and massive gay manga and the men who make it themselves that way. His shock of finding this out and having sex with a woman is quickly derailed by his sexual desire for men and dominating them.
Join the discussion. I love the physical production qualities of the book.
