Sasaki To Miyano became a series that captures the hearts and minds of boys’ love fans across the globe. It has a wholesome story, fun main characters, and a slowly building romance that was the perfect set up for Sasaki and Miyano to fall in love with each other. They are one of the latest couples to grace the boys’ love genre with their sweet presence, and they certainly won’t be the last, but many new fans may be surprised to learn that the genre has an incredibly long history that these two lovebirds refer back to with their very existence.While boys’ love has a notoriously problematic history when it comes to representation, it is also one of the few places where LGBTQ+ people could go searching for stories that they could see themselves in for a while. These stories offered an alternative to the same two people falling in love over and over again. As subversive as some entries in the genre are, many others are as sweet and unproblematic as Hamtaro. The genre is incredibly diverse, just like its audience. The history of the genre spans back hundreds of years in Japan with a lot of different twists throughout its development. Sasaki and Miyano are one of the latest entries into this genre, which has become one of the most popular genres in anime.The ’70s brought about the rise of modern boys’ love as a subgenre of shojo manga. The Year 24 group, a group of female mangaka from the time, opened up the shojo genre to multiple themes that had not been there before and two members of the group were the first, official writers of shōnen ai stories. Published in 1970, In The Sunroom is considered the grandfather of the genre as it is one of the first manga to explicitly feature a same-sex male couple at its center. The only reason it even made it to print in Bessatsu Shōjo Comic was because the creator, Keiko Takemiya, submitted it right before the publishing deadline and undercut any attempts to edit the story because the magazine needed to come out on time. The story got an incredibly warm response for the time and ended up launching the genre as a whole, along with Keiko Takemiya’s career.
