Abstract

Boys’ love is a genre that was born in the manga, went through anime and now is gaining recognition in dorama form. One of the main representatives of the genre in this form in Japan is Cherry magic!. The objective of this project is making a comparative analysis of this story between its comic and TV series versions, because of the recent talks about the fact that live action BL productions are more consonant with a gay reality comparatively with their manga and anime versions. What could be observed by then is that in the manga the protagonist’s aesthetic is much more stereotypically fit in the seme (manly and virile) and uke (delicate and effeminate) narrative than its television version. It is expected that this work can help in obtaining knowledge about the changes the genre is suffering in its recent adaptations in the live action format.
