BEST OF BISHONEN

Best of Bishonen is the most up-to-date art collection of bishonen, the “beautiful boys” featured in comics and video games that are popular among teenage “Fujoshi” female fans. These Fujoshi girls and their love of “Yaoi” (“Boys’ Love”/BL) comics and games have created a big boom in Japan, a boom that cannot be ignored by any business targeting young female comic fans.

The art works showcased in this collection are by 79 popular comic artists and illustrators, with bilingual profiles included for each. Some of the works are actually sought-after illustrations from the popular online game Touken Ranbu and Vocaloid™ PV, and five of the artists included in this collection have created new and original works exclusively for this project.

Best of Bishonen is the one-and-only complete Yaoi art collection appealing to Fujoshi girls, and is also an indispensable guide to understanding this trend.
