RE: FanArt Collab #02: Junjou Romantica (with @suezoe)

The art is really good. Congratulations on moving forward and getting your first collaboration. I think this anime premiered a few years ago. It was very controversial and appeared on some news sites. If I'm not mistaken, it came out after one about ice, which was very controversial and launched fujoshi to fame.
I understand that they read josei, shojo, and BL. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you so much... this is our second collab, but first digital one. I'm not that aware of the controversy, as I usually just enjoy what I want to watch. haha
The concept of fujoshi and fudanshi existed even before Junjou Romantica. :) My Japanese friend, who is a fudanshi, started with Pokémon doujinshi when he was around 15~ish, he's in his mid-30s now. :)
Fujoshi and Fudanshi are terms used for BL fans. :)
There's also GL fans (yurizuki, himejoshi/himedanshi)...
Josei and shojo are common genres. :)
Shojo manga/anime = usually high school/teen love, so the targets are younger girls/ladies.
Josei manga/anime = usually deeper or mature context, so the targets are adult women. :)
There's a counterpart genre for male targets... shonen and seinen. :)
Personally, I'm a fujoshi since I love BL. I'm not a fan of josei/shojo genres, but I love shonen manga/anime. ^^
That was an excellent explanation. Here in the Americas (Latin America), it became more popular after the premiere of that series and the protagonists danced on an ice rink. I don't remember the name of the anime; right now, I'm having trouble remembering it.
I misspelled “shojo.” I have vision problems, sorry. In my case, I mostly read shonen and seinen. Seinen is very raw when it comes to the adventure genre.
However, I also read a lot of shojo and manhwa from the josei genre. It's rare for a man to read this, but they're entertaining. Hahaha.
I really like fantasy and isekai stories. BL is an area where I score 0. I don't know much or anything about it. Hahaha :P
Ohh... It's Yuri on Ice!!! I love that anime... ^^
No worries... :) I've read a couple of seinen manga as well, and they're pretty fun and exciting. One manga I'm following now is Kingdom... :)
I used to read them when I was in uni... Josei is still entertaining for me, but shojo usually have the same plot, so I rarely read them these days... ^^
I've been reading a lot of fantasy (sometimes isekai/regression) Webtoons these days. There are also isekai BL stories these days. hahaha There aren't a lot of fudanshi (guys who like BL)... I only know a couple of them. XD
