I reckon this will be a whole lot more fun than Thanksgiving, and more warm than the frosty handshake between presidents. With Tokyo’s international manga festival as a pretext, the creative team behind the amazing English language Passion of Gengoroh Tagame (Anne Ishii, Graham Kolbeins, and Chip Kidd), is launching their new book Massive: Gay Erotic Manga and the Men Who Make It with a party in Tokyo on Saturday November 22, 2014. Super excited!

Here’s the details from Gay Manga!’s tumbler.

Japanese gay manga Tumblr is a riot of hairy men and BDSM

If you’re interested in the Japanese manga and the Japanese equivalent of bears, you must know about Gay Manga Tumblr, which describes itself as “a love letter to our favorite Japanese gay comic artists.” The related site Massive sells gay manga, towels, shirts, and bags.
