な、なんなのこれ…？
When I was drinking with my friend last night, I heard of this. He told me this kind of thing is getting hot among not only fujoshis but akibakeis. Yes…actually a while ago, when I went to a bookstore in Akihabara, I saw a really really strange picture. Two little girls are playing in the river in a summer day, but both wear only underwears…and WHAT!? Obviously something is inside in the underwear. And a line says like ぼく達、男の子だよ[We are boys] or something like that. I was so scared that I immediately left there…Above image is a little different from what I saw, but I am pretty sure this is the same series.
Well, I know ショタ[shota] is something fujoshis love, however, they don’t even need to get dressed as a girl. But for some reason, it surely has turned some akibakeis on. Normally, to love such an immature girl sexually is what’s called ロリコン[lolikon], and I also know lolikon idols(we say ジュニアアイドル[junior idol]) are still popular in Akihabara. In the certain shop, you can find any lolikon idol DVDs. But that evolved out of what it used to be. In order to love such a shota boy, they might get dressed as a girl. I can’t put it well in English, but we say 女装[josou] to get dressed as a woman. At any rate, I assume this is something aims at not only fujoshis but akibakeis because it wouldn’t matter to fujoshis who love shota boys even if they get dressed as a girl. The thing is, yes, how it could get akibakeis. So I think that’s why such an androgynous boy gets dressed as a girl so that akibakeis who love lolikon girls almost forget he is actually a boy. In above anime, the protagonist has a soft spot for a little girl, but actually the girl turns out to be a boy…but he can’t stop pursuing him…
Come to think of it, I have seen such josou cosplayers a lot lately. If you happen to be in Tokyo, go to Akihabara or you could see such josou cosplayers. Ugh, but they are far from shota-looking, though.

yeah, seems like shotacon is no longer fujoshi’s exclusive area, lol
remember watarase jun from “Happiness”?
Its called “trap” isn’t it? But I don’t know, I think that term is originated from 4chan not 2chan. Do you know something about this? ^^
there are lots of trap character these days and they are well accepted in otaku preferences
I don’t know, looks like hardcore akiba-kei otaku will eat anything that looks cute lol
as for shota is a turn-off of course ^^

Ah! Watarase Jun is a totally josou shounen! I guess he completely looks like a girl because of his long hair, so that fujoshi seem to feel he is no longer a shota boy. But meanwhile, such akibakei might feel something…Come to think of it, I have seen Wolfram in Kyou kara maou wearing a women’s pajyama…Can it be a fan service for not only fujoshis but akibakeis…?
I assume trap might mean such a less recognisable boy…Oh no, I can’t understand this taste.

これが。。。 まぁ～ ちょっとキモイでしょう？
Then again, I’m not entirely a big fan of shotacon. ^^;; I only like shotacon to a certain extent but even I can’t stand watching Boku no Pico. TAT;; And yeah, all the more when akibakeis like those kinds of things. ^^;; Probably this is a personal preference on my part… but yeah… Crossdressing boys is just fine. But the next step to that. まぁ… ^^;;
I’m not so sure if wolfram still counts as shotacon. He is slightly of age already. He just kinda looks young. So he’s not entirely shotacon. But yeah… the stuff that boku no pico has. TAT;; いや。これがやっぱだめだと思います。
It’s really interesting how trends go. I have a question though, do akibakeis get into regular crossdressing BL types? How about onnagata like 太一早乙女?

AH! Something just came to mind. Is this the reason why Mako-chan of Minami-ke is also popular!? ほう。。。ヤバイ。まこちゃんはかわいいと思うけど。。。 when I think of it in context that he has to do H/BL stuff… やっぱダメ！！ TAT;;

Umm, mako-chan and Watarase Jun…how come we can find a josou shounen so easily? That means this is so popular. Well, I can’t understand this taste, but maybe, I assume akibakeis might feel pleasure when they share a secret with a josou shounen, I mean, a secret that only you know he is actually a boy. His looks(and voice) is totally like a girl, right? So they almost forget the truth…
Ugh, but when he gets stripped off, we all find out he is a boy…but they still want to see H thing? This is something I can’t understand. やっぱりわからない。。。
And my friend also told me that most akibakeis probably don’t feel anything towards the real josou shounen, so I don’t think they do ハアハア(*´д｀*) with 太一. Tabun ne?

Does this mean that Bangin-kun is also a shotacon?! OMG…

You mean, I have a moe for this? No way…^^
If I had been a shota-looking, I could have cosplayed any shota-looking characters, though.

You like cosplay…? Do you cosplay at anime conventions? :’D

No, but I wish I could. I only cosplay such a cosplay event, not a convention.
