Our Boys’ Love Manga Book is Available for Pre-Order!
Academic, Boys' Love / Yaoi Comments (0)
I just received McFarland’s spring catalog in the mail, and our book is listed! Here’s the catalog copy and a rare chance to see the cover, because the cover art hasn’t yet been uploaded to other places on the web yet. Hmmm, does the art look familiar to any of you BL fans? 
If you want to order a copy, you can do it on McFarland’s website or at Amazon.Com.
