Dachi no Oyaji ni Mesu ni Sarete (I Became A Bitch Of My Best Friend’s Dad), concluded chapter Badi magazine, March 2019 issue (January 20, 2019, on sale) And Badi magazine ends on this issue. There is my interview too.

I had been publishing my gay adult comics on the magazine for almost 25 years, include The Silver Flower, The House of the Brutes,,, Father and Son in Hell,, Slave Training Summer Camp, Planet Brobdingnag,, etc, etc And to publish I Became A Bitch Of My Best Friend’s Dad may be the last time what my adult gay comics is published on gay magazines in Japan. There is no more gay magazines where I can publish my gay erotic comic. Sabu was gone, G-men was gone, Nikutaiha was gone, and finally Badi is gone. Then, I’m going to look for some independent ways to publish my gay erotic arts.

I’m afraid that I can’t say when and how I can start it regularly, but on most recent, There is a plan to release a new comic book as my private publishing on Yaro Fest on May 26th. E-book edition of it will be also available online, at, soon after the event. Thank you for supporting my gay erotic works on gay magazines for more than 30 years, and I appreciate your continuing support. May 2019 be a happy and great year for you. January 12, new all ages comics ‘僕らの色彩 Our Colors’ volume one will be on sale.

And January 25, the last issue of Badi magazine will be on sale. Suzuki king quad 700 serial number. On this issue, Badi closes their 25 years history. My latest gay adult comic ‘親友の親父に雌にされて I Became A Bitch Of My Best Friend’s Dad’ will be also concluded. By the end of Badi magazine, I finally lose all printed medias where I can publish gay adult comics as a job. All gay and BL magazines those I had been able to publish my gay adult works for over 30 years, like Sabu, G-men, Badi, SM-Z, Kinniku-otoko, Nikutai-ha are gone. After the end of Badi, there will be only one gay magazine Samson what is specific for fat and old men only in Japan. Now I’m feeling like I’m watching the end of the era of Japanese gay magazines.

So I have to quit to be a professional gay adult comic artist from this January. Of course I wish to do my gay adult works in some independent ways like private publishing, fan supporting service or gallery exhibitions, but to keep the same pace as before must be hard. From now on, I have to set to draw all ages comics as my primary job, and will draw gay adult comics in my spare time. My publishing pace of gay adult works would be much less than before. I am very sorry for that and ask for your understanding. Finally, ‘Gay Erotic Art in Japan Vol.3 – Growth of Gay Magazines and Diversification of Their Artists’ will be on sale on December 12, 2018!
