BL Metamorphosis Vol. 5

"...a refreshing intergenerational friendship tale in which one’s gender isn’t a restriction when it comes to being a fan of media about romantic relationships between men... Reminiscent of Princess Jellyfish, this female-centric view of a subgenre usually known for its steamier aspects offers an unusual and endearing twist to manga’s expected pairings." --Publishers Weekly

"Without an ounce of parody or insincerity, Kaori Tsurutani's BL Metamorphosis, Vol. 1 is one of the most affectionate and authentic portraits of the BL community that you will ever read... The deep-seated empathy that its creator so clearly has for both characters is the key to what makes BL Metamorphosis so special, and it shines through on every page." --Hannah Collins, CBR

"This is a tranquil story, an unlikely occurrence embedded in the monotony of everyday life, an homage to those rare relationships that help us grow in unexpected ways." --Morgana Santilli, The Beat

“BL Metamorphosis is a sweet story about finding friendship in BL fandom, but it’s also about pushing yourself out of the limitations you create for yourself. And for that, I think it’s absolutely worth reading. What is life for, if we’re going to stay the person we were as a child all our lives?” --Erica Friedman, Okazu

“BL Metamorphosis is an earnest and heartfelt examination of intergenerational relationships, the deepening of self-conviction, and the development of community. In this first volume, Tsurutani has proven herself an adept storyteller and a fascinating new voice.” --Alex Hoffman, SOLRAD
