Fudanshism 1

[boke's comments in brackets like this.]

[This manga is about japanese nerd culture, and as such uses a lot of words such as fujoshi and moe that I have left untranslated, since the comic gives explanations. Some footnoting may be necessary, and I will comment where I feel additional info may be useful.

I have also left the honorifics in (-san, -kun, etc) as they help to track relationship changes]

Morishige's New Work
Has Been Unleashed!

Fudanshizumu
Fudanshi Shugi
[The title is complex compound word. Fujoshi is a word referring to fangirls interested in male homo-eroticism. Fudanshi is new word coined to mean a male version of a fujoshi. The author then tacks the suffix -ism on the end. So the title means something on the order of "The beliefs of a male fujoshi". The subtitle means the same thing in more conventional japanese.]
