THE STORYGIRLS LOVE BOYS LOVE, a film about the Boys Love (BL) genre, is a compelling and astonishing story about female sexuality and the desire for escapism from traditional heterosexual relationship standards shared between BL artists in Japan and their American fans.

Since the 1980’s, the BL genre has made meaningful contributions to fashion, pop culture, and Animation. It has also sculpted the formulation of heterosexual and queer identities for centuries in East Asia and beyond.

The history, industry, and fans of this genre have never been shown in film.
Until now.
