Suzuhara’s collection of yonkoma (four-panel) comic strips ‘Here in Magic Land’ are published in ‘J-BOY by Biblos’ (2006). This is an English-language anthology of original Japanese manga (comics) of the genre known as Boys’ Love (BL).1 The cast of characters and the scenarios they imply indicate some of the motifs around which BL revolves: Magic Land Friends Shiro: A boy from the cat family became Al’s apprentice in hopes of becoming a wizard. Al: A great wizard ... but not a responsible adult. Always lusting after Shiro. Kett: The butler at Al’s estate. There’s a person under the bunny costume. Tora: Shiro’s older brother. Visits Al’s estate often out of worry for Shiro and desire to see Kett
