Retro BL

"Retro BL" is a curated anthology of Boys' Love manga that immerses readers in a bewitching, nostalgic world. The collection explores themes of Taishou-era romance, unfastened hakama, and the quiet, unnoticed bonds of postwar fraternity. Through its pages, it presents captivating tales of disheveled men navigating love within a tainted yet deeply alluring atmosphere. This compilation features eight distinct stories crafted by a talented roster of creators, brought together under a cover illustration by Mayama Rika. The anthology includes "Hako no Naka no Ittousei" by Shimaji, "Himegoto Renbo" (Secret Love) by Tokishiba, "Kusuri mo Sugireba Koi to Naru" by Haruta, and "Kawataredoki no Yume" by Mayama Rika. Completing the collection are "Haru ni Shitataru" by Yukimichi Ouji, "Koi no 100-mankai no KO" by Mushiba, "Ano Midnight" by Syundei, and "Akame no Nie, Kami no Akari" by Hareya Umako. Together, these works weave a rich tapestry of historical and retro-inspired romances.
