Note: We are going to be discussing the whole series. If you have difficulty finding these volumes, I recommend checking the Chicago Library or getting the ebooks. The series is 5 relatively short volumes total.

BL Metamorphasis (メタモルフォーゼの縁側 ) is an award winning manga series from Kaori Tsurutani (鶴谷香央理) about an elderly woman and a teenage girl who bond over their love of BL manga.

Ichinoi, a 75-year-old woman living a peaceful life, unwittingly buys a Boy’s Love manga one day…and is fascinated by what she finds inside. When she returns to the bookstore to buy the next volume, the high school girl working there–Urara, a seasoned BL fan–notices a budding fangirl when she sees one. When Urara offers to help Ichinoi explore this whole new world of fiction, the two dive into BL fandom together, and form an unlikely friendship along the way.

Manga Circle typically meets on second Sundays to discuss a selected work of manga and its international relevance. This event is suitable for attendees 18+ with any level of manga knowledge or experience. We recommend reading the entire selection beforehand – spoilers guaranteed!
