A lot of the history of Boys' Love traces back to Japan but their BL fandom spaces can often feel super isolated from the rest of the community. So this week, we're sitting down with streamer, content creator and overall fandom expert Shibuya Kaho to learn a bit more about how BL fandoms exist in Japan.

She gives us the scoop on different BL experiences you can have in Japan (Yaoi cafes, anyone?), how the general population views BL and the international expansion of Japanese BL like we've seen in the recently announced Thai remake of Cherry Magic!
