Japanese gay novels in English

Several weeks ago, I came across a few gay literatures of Japan in English at one secondhand bookstore.

One is Comrade Loves of the Samurai by Saikaku Ihara and the other is Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima.

That is selective stories from Saikaku Ihara's "The great mirror of male love" and easier to read so I'm reading the book while commuting.

I also bought two more books of Ihara, Scheming World and Life of an amorous man.

What an unexpected suprise!

Even when I visited Japan this summer, I couldn't find those books.

Korean Bara artist, Unspoken

Another Korean bara arist that I came across at X (former Twitter), Unspoken . As you can see, he's very skilled in drawing and using colors and such. He seems to upload his steamy comics in Patreon from time to time. When I first found his artwork at Twitter, I thought he and Huntersmell are the same person. ( Click "Huntersmell" above to read my previous posting on Huntersmell. ) I detected some similarities in their drawing styles. But who can be sure? Thank that I have found another talented bara artist. That's what matters.

Newest comic by Jiraiya

I did not know till today that Jiraiya released his newest comic, Two Hoses, a story about two firemen, through Big Gym (in Japan) and Massive (in US). The picture above is from Big Gym (a gay store chain in Japan) twitter. As you can see, this comic seemed to be based on his previous artwork, which was used for several items. (I really love this artwork, even though I generally love his artwork. Actually I love all of his artworks.) The 2nd image seems to be a promotional postcard. And the 3rd image is the US version of the comic. The image is from Massive.

Josman

Josman is a British cartoonist who published his works through "Handjobs" magazine which fulfills the readers' fantasies about affairs between grown-ups and young boys. Josman's very talented and skilled cartoonist. He usually tells affairs between family members which makes me a little uncomfortable. But I got amazed by the way he depicts the scene. (He borrows the style from American super-hero cartoonists)
