BL CEO

Manga on a salary man who is expecting retirement but out of nowhere assigned to a CEO of a BL publishing company. *BL means (mostly) manga(comics) dealing with love affairs between male characters. He has to deal with women-only employees and explicit BL manga. But he tries to blend in anyhow. The whole story evolves a little bit different than I expected. I expect he would find it hard to be accustomed to BL itself but mostly he finds it hard to blend in all-women staffs, especially who have very clear views on BL manga and are very confident. They say that this manga is loosely based on a real story.

Garouzuki, Bara artist

Garouzuki (ガロウ好き) is a Japanese Bara artist. And I love his art. *At first I thougt his penname is pronounced as " Garousuki ", but it is " Garouzuki ." Garou means a wolf, suki means "love-it." *Here, it is sounded as " zuki ." He sells some of his works under the name, Oyajijigumi (オヤジジ組), which I suppose is the name of the group which he belongs to. As you can see, he is very talented in drawing daddies. Oya means parent(s) and Oyaji is used when you refer your own father to others. Jiji means grandfather and Gumi means a club or a group. So I guess Oyajijigumi means a father-grandfather club or something, though I can be sure.
