Boys' love (BL) is the common term [used] by the publishing industry to categorize works focusing on male/male [relationships] marketed at women. Historically these works were referred to as June, but most commercial works are now called BL. It is used as an [umbrella term] for: -both commercial and amateur works -works with no sex -works with sex -doujinshi about adolescents with little or no sex -works in all types of media - manga, anime, novels, games, and drama CDs -characters of all ages (not limited to 'boys') -related terms such as yaoi, shounen ai, tanbi, June, and original June While early fans of BL were probably fans of doujinshi, most Japanese fans [on the net] these days appear to be fans of commercial BL work - there are over a hundred such works published every month, more than two-thirds of them novels and the rest manga. BL novels are immensely popular - the number of novels published each month outnumbers pmanga tankoubon by about 2 to 1.
