BARA MANGA
BARA MANGA is a slang name for gay manga, a prominent form of Japanese art and media in that country. The genre was created by homosexual men for a gay man audience and focuses mostly on male same-sex relationships. Although the visual style and plot of Bara can vary, its main characters are frequently strong-willed men with varying degrees of muscle, body fat, and body hair, comparable to bear or bodybuilder culture. Bara is predominantly pornographic, but because it acknowledges the numerous ways that homosexuality is perceived in modern Japan, the genre has also included sentimental and personal content. Gay manga creators do not always agree with the term bara being used to describe homosexual Japanese comic art because it is predominantly a non-Japanese phenomenon.
Etymology
The Japanese word bara, which means rose in its literal translation, has long been used as a derogatory slur for gay men, roughly equal to the English word “pansy.”
The Japanese word bara, which means rose literally, has long been used as a derogatory nickname for gay men. It is roughly equal to the word pansy in English. With the publication of the 1961 anthology Ba-ra-kei: Ordeal by Roses, which included a collection of semi-naked photographs of gay writer Yukio Mishima by photographer Eikoh Hosoe, and later with Barazoku in 1971, the first commercially produced gay magazine in Asia, the term was once again used by Japanese gay media beginning in the 1960s.
