The History of BL (Boys’ Love)
“Boys love” as an expression first came into existence in the 90s, and was used to describe commercial manga and light novels with a focus on male relationships, but gradually also incorporated non-commercial works, such as fanzines and doujinshi.
Posting mostly for my own reference because I lost the original article that teen!Bear read when she looked for the difference between "yaoi" and "BL."
