Fujoshi O'Clock (11/14/13)

What time is it? It's . . . Fujoshi O'Clock, the biweekly feature at Nagareboshi Review, when I bring to you the latest fujoshi-related news and reviews and various shiny BL-flavored things. Why? Because rotten girls need love too!

This week on Fujoshi O'Clock:

• Ichijinsha, a Japanese manga publisher, will be launching the BL manga magazine 'gateau' later this month. The BL imprint of the same name has been in production since 2011 as well as a bi-monthly anthology, also named 'gateau'.
• Lily Hoshino has released her fanart of the Gundam Build Fighters series. Hoshino is a noted BL artist.
• ANN presents their seven anime odd couples, which includes Touji/Kensuke from the Evangelion anime as well as the main leads of Tiger & Bunny. Ho yay!
• Via the Yaoi Corner Facebook page: Love Stage! will be adapted into an anime to be aired in 2014. It is based on the shonen ai manga with the same name by Tsuda Mikiyo and Eiki Eiki.

Reviews:

• Johanna at Manga Worth Reading reviews Lies Are A Gentleman's Manners by Marta Matsuo, a BL manga set in America - a rarity indeed!
• Llama Kitten Reviews looks at Vector In Love by Rika Akira, in which the smut's made up and the plot doesn't matter. Review is NSFW.
• Manga Bookshelf reviews a variety of titles in the latest BL Bookrack, including The Man of Tango and the latest chapter of Off*Beat along with the newest est em title in English. 

Am I missing your blog? Got some awesome fujoshi-related news and reviews you think deserve a shout-out? Poke me with a link and a bit of description over at my Twitter: @theseventhl. I'm always on the look out for more BL love!
