YaoiWorld | KodamaCreative Commissions OPEN

I would like to announce that the 2014-2015 commissions season is officially open!

My name is Kodama. I am 24 years old and I love art.

From years of experience, I&#8217;ve managed to satisfy over a hundred customers and finished more than hundred drawings for private clients and small commercial projects alike. Together we can make your ideas come true.

I am a multimedia illustrator hailing from Poland in Europe. I have been involved in artwork, concepts and graphic projects for over 10 years. Working both private commissions and taking part in bigger projects, I can say without a doubt, it has been (and still is!) an exhilarating journey. Art, especially the visual medium, is what stimulates and motivates me as I continuously strive to improve myself.

For every piece of work I create, I pour a little bit of myself into it. It does not matter whether it is a single private order or part of a larger work; I always aim for my work to be unique.

This journal is only a small preview of prices and services I have to offer. All necessary information to commission me like Detailed description of commission types, Commissioning Process Guide, Waiting Lists and Terms of Service you will find at:

Yaoi Understanding the womanly obsession with men in love…with each other

Yaoi: Understanding the womanly obsession with men in love…with each other

3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D48&r=G" /% Leslie Ho — February 25, 2014

By Jasmine T.

“Stop fantasising about my brother. Any other man will do, right?”

When 18-year-old Misaki lashed out at his handsome tutor Akihiko, his hateful words would eventually return to haunt him. On his first visit to Akihiko’s apartment, he discovered a pornographic story featuring his own brother—and that Akihiko, an award-winning novelist, published homoerotic stories under a different pen name. Misaki, who identified as straight, was horrified. Their argument escalated into a tussle that never quite resolved itself, leading both men into a sexually charged relationship. For a time, Misaki fought his growing feelings for the brash, moody Akihiko. Spoiler alert: he failed completely.

Misaki and Akihiko’s story hails from the yaoi series Junjou Romantica. Yaoi, or boys’ love, refers to fictional media based on homoerotic or homo-romantic male sexual relationships, written by women for women . The combination of pretty boys and fantastically steamy plotlines from the protagonist couple and other gay couplings form the backbone of this enormously popular manga genre. Women everywhere—me included—clamoured for the next episode. Junjou was an unprecedented hit, holding the honour of the first yaoi title to enter the New York Times Manga Bestseller List.

With the mainstream media exclusively catering to the ideals of straight men, yaoi became an alternative genre dominated by women writers and artists. A female gaze is cast on the story’s characters and their relationships. Beyond the rather disturbing exclusion of women from yaoi storylines, one of the genre’s hallmarks is its host of bishonen —idealised young men with flowing hair, lithe bodies and sculpted faces.

Stories are usually led by a bright-eyed, innocent uke (the passive one, or the bottom) whose emotional struggles revolve around a possessive, seemingly uncaring seme (the dominant half, or the top). While the forbidden nature of a love between two men appeals to both straight and lesbian girls, a majority of stories stick to a heteronormative formula, and expresses a relationship dynamic familiar to straight women. As a result, the genre often fails to explore more substantial problems of two men pursuing a relationship in a largely homophobic society. Bara, on the other hand, is a genre written by gay men for men, and takes a deeper look at the pertinent issues of gay love. Its plotlines feature a more realistic cast of characters, from pot-bellied beefcakes to the scrawny dude with a stutter. Unlike yaoi, bara doesn’t shy away from the grim reality of homophobia in Japan, and recognises all of its consequences.

Curiously, yaoi enjoys wide acceptance in Japan despite the country’s decidedly traditional backdrop. This yaoi fan culture spans beyond comic books and Japanese fandoms, and exerts a particular influence on the Asian music industry.

Yaoi translation Good or bad experience?

Yaoi translation:Good or bad experience?

Nov 19, 2007

Hello all, my first post here so please direct me somewhere else if I'm asking this in the wrong area

I've been studying Japanese at the university level for about 4 years, completed a summer program from Kyoto Koka university, and will be graduating with a BA in History (specifically Canadian and Asian history) next month.

I recently started "volunteer" translating for an online "scanlation" group since I thought it would not only improve my Japanese reading and Japanese>English translation skills, but also because I was hoping it would give me some practice/experience for pursuing a translation job in a few years time. I've also really enjoyed this work so far, it's fun and challenging at the same time.

ONE ISSUE: The group I've been translating for specializes in Japanese Yaoi manga. I was wondering; is this kind of experience something that would work to my benefit or not in the future? Would flaunting this kind of work on a resume or profile help me since it IS quite challenging translation despite the unconventional content, or would it actually hurt me simply because the content of these translations is not mainstream and some might think of it as offensive. This is my main question, should I include this "volunteer" experience on a resume someday, or should I simply keep it private as a means of language/translation practice?

Any comments or suggestions are VERY welcome (and again, first post, so be gentle if I made a mistake posting this here or if something like this has already been posted).
