Gay BL

Lesbian, Lily GL

Boys' Love

In the 1990s, "Boys' Love (BL)" first appeared in the b-Boy magazine published by BIBLOS, because it emphasized the comedy ending. b-Boy magazine said that if the style they publish is more JUNE-esque, it should be said to be Boys' Love-esque. So Boys' Love is associated with bright and light comedy. However, if there is no special requirement for a definition, the term Boys' Love in 2012 can represent almost all female-to-male homosexual creations, regardless of animation comics, games, novels, original derivatives, original works, commercial and doujinshi.

BIBLOS Publishing House went bankrupt on March 31, 2006 due to the failure of the president’s investment in the IT industry. Later, ANIMATE purchased the BIBLOS editorial department and established a new publishing house, Ribera.

Lily It is a concept in the field of ACGN, also known as Girlslove (GL), which refers to the pure love relationship between girls (it refers to the love between women, but it is not completely equivalent to lesbianism). In the Japanese comics industry, there is a special Yuri comics school.

In the traditional sense, lily is "love between girls", which is basically equivalent to three-dimensional lily (lesbian). Works that mainly describe love between girls are often called orthodox lilies or pure lilies. However, with the development of ACGN, the word lily has taken on new developments in its field. Many daily dramas without male protagonists are also constantly welcomed by the audience, which are mainly reflected in the ambiguous description of high-density friendship between girls. They are called light lilies in China. [1]
