The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese is a boys' love (yaoi) manga by Setona Mizushiro. A live-action film version was released in Japan in 2020.
It stars Tadayoshi Okura and Ryo Narita in the lead roles. It is directed by Isao Yukisada, who also made River's Edge, which had great nude sex scenes with Fumi Nikaido and Shiori Doi.
Naturally, given the subject matter, much of the film focuses on the gay relationship between the two men, but there is one nude sex scene with a female actor.
It's with Noriko Kijima, who is no stranger to filming nude scenes in several films. She shows off her ...
We don't talk about boys' love or male-on-male themes enough on this blog, so we were pleased to stumble upon this development.
The boys' love illustrator Ebimo has created a new 112-page gay drawing manual, the "BL Poses Stretch Book".
It's a bit like a working version of the "48 Ways" (shijuuhatte), which is the de facto Japanese Kama Sutra, so you really get the most out of your relationship as well as illustration skills.
The poses -- from tender kissing to hugging and all manner of sex positions -- are included as a guide to all the various ...
The BBC occasionally likes to weigh in on adult Japan matters, not always with success.
It recently profiled Keiko Takemiya, "the godmother of manga sex in Japan". This time they go the extra mile and get some reasonable background and interviews, but some of their assertions are off -- not least the headline.
Takemiya was just 26 when she started Kaze to Kino Uta (The Poem of Wind and Trees).
It opens with two naked teenage boys in a 19th-century French boarding school lying on top of each other, post-coital. The series centres on one of those boys and another new boy. ...
Get your boys' love fix with the new PC and phone battle card game Out Division.
As with any such game, you collect character cards and build up a strong team.
The difference is that all the characters are male and what men they are...
What has been called "the most unexpected element" of the game is the "Stroke of Lust" section.
This is a memory game where you have to match pairs of images. Needless to say, the images are rather on the saucy side. Can you match up the right male ...
RocketNews24 paid a visit to a Boys' Love (BL) cafe in Ikebukuro.
Ikebukuro Danshi BL Gakuen is basically a maid cafe for girls, though it goes one step further than the conventional dansou butler cafes and goes all out for a BL or yaoi style. The male staff are all dressed as schoolboys and give off an effeminate, gay vibe.
Entering the cafe you become students at the school.
The menu consists of different boy-on-boy scenarios that you can order.
We decided to order the “fantasy coupling Pocky” from the menu where you get to choose two of the guys to enact a sexy ...
While the Tokyo Game Show last weekend ultimately did not feature Sony's divisive "Summer Lesson" demo for the Project Morpheus HMD headset, it did have some virtual boyfriends instead.
One booth at TGS 2014 showcased virtual dating and romance apps so women could get their perfect partner. The only snag is that the man in question does not exist in reality.
Voltage Romance Apps features a series of smartphone social apps with fake boyfriends for lonely women. They even have English-language versions adapted for North American audiences.
The average user is a 30-year-old Japanese ...
We all know about maid cafes. But what about us girls?
Sure, there are host clubs but some of us don't actually like guys with ridiculous orange hair cuts, up-themselves attitudes -- and then paying huge bills for the privilege!
Fear not, there are Otouto Cafe (Little Brother Cafe) for us ladies!
One example is the Cafe B's Prince, a concept cafe opened last year. The staff are actually girls but dressed as boys. This is basically more a cosplay cafe catering (no pun!) to fujoshi manga fans (um, semi-lesbians who like girls dressed as boys).
There is a whole spate of these ...
