• This is a legal anime simulcast and webcast portal, with free access the first 2 months of the broadcast. Unfortunately, it is aimed at a French-speaking audience, so all subs are in French (but for those comfortable enough in Japanese, all the video have the original soundtrack). - Ariane Beldi

• "‘BL’ (Boys’ Love), a genre of male homosexual narratives (consisting of manga, novels, animations, games, films, and so forth) written by and for women, has recently been acknowledged, by Japanese and non-Japanese scholars alike, as a significant component of Japanese popular culture. The aesthetic and style of Japanese BL have also been assumed, deployed and transformed by female fans transnationally. The current thrust of transnational BL practices raises a number of important issues relating to socio/cultural constructs of BL localization and globalization.
  
  Scholarly endeavors in relation to BL can be enriched by further research concerning the activities of transnational BL fans, fan communities, fandom, and the production of fan fiction. Most previous BL fan studies have remained circumscribed to Japan and North America. Therefore, in order to further develop transnational BL fan studies, we are seeking contributors who are engaged in the exploration of non-Japanese and non-North American contexts (e.g. Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, and others). Transnational BL fan studies may also be incorporated into the broader socio/political critical frameworks offered by studies in economics, gender/sexuality, race/class, and other areas.

• For those who are studying fandom and Boy's Love, this might be an opportunity to share your researches! - Ariane Beldi

• This is my first contribution to this group since a long time, and unfortunately, it is in French only, but I thought it would be interesting nonetheless, since it is the website of a French mag devoted to Boy's Love. - Ariane Beldi
