Ratings and Reviews
I downloaded the app just now and though I’ve seen a few people complaining about getting kicked out after hitting the next button, i haven’t had that issue. I signed in and i only had an issue trying to log in after registering but it may have been an issue on my end and not one with the app. I can’t say much since i only just got it but a feature i think would be nice is where you can go to the next chapter by sliding left like in tapas!
The issues are now fixed with the new update. Please update the app and thank you so much for testing
Love the app but..

История про молодого школьника-модель Кисараги, его лучшего друга-психопата Чидори и журналиста Мамию, которому дали задание написать статью о Кисараги. Поначалу кажется, что это очередная история про парня «не гея», который внезапно влюбляется в симпатичного мальчишку и впадает в панику, но они преодолевают все трудности жизни, и мы, довольные, наслаждаемся хэппи-эндом. Но в фильме ничего подобного вы не увидите. Вместе с героями придётся пережить невыносимую боль безответной любви и одиночества.
Снято по одноименной манге «Boys Love»

Everything you need to know about Thailand’s thriving Boys Love culture
Thailand’s BL series industry is on the rise and could evolve into the country’s new major entertainment export.
For many of us, Friday nights during the lockdown meant binge-watching new programs on Netflix. But for millions of Boys Love (“Y” in Thai) fans around Asia, it was one night to fix their eyes on the screen to watch the latest episode of 2gether: The Series, unarguably Thailand’s most popular Boys Love drama.
LINE TV/GMMTV 2gether the Series
Throughout the 13 weeks of its airing, the #2gethertheSeries hashtag topped global trends on Twitter—the most favored social media of Boys Love fans—and triggered millions of virtual conversations about the series in various languages, from Thai to Chinese to English. The series was so popular that its lead actors, fresh-faced Vachirawit “Bright” Cheva-aree and Metawin “Win” Opas-iamkajorn, garnered more than a million Instagram followers from all over the world in just a few weeks. 2gether: The Series became the global phenomenon no one expected.
When boys love boys
The presence of Boys Love series, a unique drama genre that depicts homoerotic relationships between male characters, has increased significantly in recent years. Narratives revolving around two boys in a romantic relationship were pretty much secondary subplots before the 2014 series Love Sick, which was a significant turning point for the subgenre. It was probably the first time in Thai entertainment history that two boys with homosexual inclinations were featured in the lead.
Since then, other players in the market jumped in, including GMMTV, a subsidiary of Thailand’s largest entertainment conglomerate, GMM Grammy, and producer of 2gether: The Series.
GMMTV Noppanat Chaiwimol
Back then, it was controversial for a major entertainment company to pair up two guys
Noppanat Chaiwimol, a director and producer for GMMTV (pictured above), tells us that the company first chose a less obvious course by dropping in Boys Love characters into heterosexual series (Tay-New from Kiss and Pik-Low from Senior Secret Love, for example). After gaining positive feedback, the entertainment powerhouse decided to go all the way. Sotus was its first try. “The first [season] was an experiment. We didn’t know how would it go,” says the young exec. “Back then, it was controversial for a major entertainment company to pair up two guys. Well, it turned out to be a big hit and Chris-Singto [the portmanteau for the actors in the series] are still around today even if it’s been about four or five years.”
LINE TV, the free streaming platform that has been broadcasting Boys Love series such as Make it Right and Sotus since 2016 says that the coronavirus lockdown earned the platform the biggest increase in viewership in history. From a five percent audience share in 2019, the first quarter of 2020 alone saw the number peaked at 34 percent. “Boys Love is no longer a sub-genre. It’s gone mainstream,” says Kanop Supamanop, LINE’s VP for content business. LINE TV alone currently stockpiles 33—and counting—Thai Boys Love series on its platform, making it the biggest producer of the subgenre in Thailand.
Reading love between the lines
Like many Boys Love dramas before it, 2gether the Series is based on a novel of the same name.
Thai Boys Love is a local appropriation of yaoi, the Japan-originating form of homoerotic fiction that revolves around the romantic narratives between a masculine boy (called “uke”) and a more feminine boy (called “seme”). Traditionally, yaoi is created, consumed and favored by women. This Japanese subculture arrived in Thailand a decade ago in the form of novels. The community of Boys Love readers flourished long before the culture came to the small screen.
The genre picked up and blossomed in around 2014-2015
“It started off underground, before surfacing around 2011 to 2012. The genre picked up and blossomed in around 2014-2015,” says Dr. Utain Boonorana, a medical doctor who’s also an LGBTQ fiction author known by his pseudonyms, Patrick Rangsimant and Mor Tood (“Homo Doctor” in Thai). The Boys Love novels he penned include My Ride, I Love You, which has been translated into English and is set to become a TV drama.
Deep Publishing Boys Love novels
Society seems to be more accepting of Boys Love fiction
Walk into any major bookstores in Bangkok—as well as other major provinces—now and you’ll see what would have been unheard of a few years back: Boys Love novels taking over more and more shelves.
Observing the growth of Boys Love literature, decades-old publishing house Sataporn Books jumped onto the bandwagon in 2018 and launched a new brand called Deep. So far, Deep has published around 70 Boys Love titles, and 20 of them being produced into a television series. “I guess society seems to be more accepting of Boys Love fiction,” says Jetiya Lokitsataporn, the owner of Sataporn Books. She goes on to explain that the Boys Love industry has seen tremendous growth because more producers, including major channels, have shown interest in turning these novels into television series. More series translates into better sales of the books.
Jetiya also points out that she has seen fewer stories about students and more about people with actual careers. “There is also more fantasy fiction, like those in which men could become pregnant. If you treat them as fantasy, we could simply accept them [as entertainment].” Deep is also selling the rights to their novels to international publishers in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea.
The (clichéd) formula that guarantees success
Similar to many other successful Thai Boys Love media, 2gether:The Series centers around college students living out unreal storylines and engaging in somewhat irrational conversations. It’s these elements that seem to guarantee the success of a Boys Love series—in addition to attractive characters with on-screen chemistry, that is. Other hit series such as TharnType and En of Love also fall into this cliché.
“Most readers and authors are teenagers, so life in college is what’s closest to their real life,” says Utain, adding to the premise. “Pre-teens and teens [which are Boys Love’s main target groups] would not be able to understand how a frustrated 30-something woman actually feels about life…they won’t be able to empathize.”
LINE TV Boys Love series on LINE TV
We find Boys Love characters reflect the desires of a young woman
Curiously enough, Boys Love protagonists all come from the same demographic. A parody on the sub-culture pointed out that most lead characters are either engineering or medical students from affluent backgrounds.
PhD researcher Ronnayuth Euatrirat, who’s studying the Thai Boys Love phenomenon, explains that this may be due to the fact that many Boys Love novels are penned by female authors. “We find Boys Love characters reflect the desires of a young woman. An engineering student, for example, is a typical desirable personification of a dependable man. These characters also have a manly appearance and come from well-to-do backgrounds. These standards respond to women’s needs.”
GMMTV, now the best-known producer of Thai Boys Love series, is taking a risk by tweaking these clichéd standards. Later this year, it will release A Tale of Thousand Stars, its first Boys Love series that doesn’t feature a teen, nor an engineering student, in the lead. Instead, you have a budding relationship between a volunteer teacher and a forestry officer. Noppanat, who is writing the screenplay and is directing the series, wants to explore new possibilities in the Boys Love landscape. Though the series’ has yet to be aired, previews have received positive feedback from Boys Love fans that are starting to get fed up with teenage fantasies.
LGBTQ and Boys Love: two parallel universes?
The wide reception and popularity of Thai Boys Love owes so much to the freedom of gender expression in Thailand. But is the LGBTQ community actually benefiting from the increasing popularity of Boys Love novels and series?
A number of local LGBTQ advocates have shunned Boys Love culture, saying that it doesn’t reflect the real lives of LGBTQ individuals, and even portrays a false perception of the community. But the experts we’ve spoken with don’t wholly agree.
Noppanat acknowledges that this is one topic you can spend days discussing. The veteran producer and director, who has been doing research on Boys Love for more than five years, doesn’t think these series are “too fantasized” and are not an appropriate reflection of the LGBT community.
GMMTV Noppanat Chaiwimol on set
Many LGBT individuals possibly live their lives like those [in Boys Love series]
“All Boys Love dramas revolve around same-sex relationships so, personally, I think they represent diversity. They are a sub-part of the LGBTQ genre. However, at the end of the day, we’re talking about the Boys Love genre that focuses on romantic fantasy and not more serious LGBTQ issues such as equality and HIV. Being in the middle of this lengthy discussion for so long, I have had to find the right balance between what the audience needs and what needs to be done,” he explains. “Many LGBT individuals possibly live their lives like those [in Boys Love series]. You see young same-sex couples everywhere, right? Society is now more open and they might not have to overcome many obstacles like those before them. So if you take this case into account, Boys Love series could be real [examples of society].
An LGBTQ advocate himself, Nopparat tries to inject a message about gender acceptance into every Boys Love series he produces. He’s also the mind behind GMMTV’s LGBTQ productions, many of which have been praised for their complex and thought-provoking narratives, including Gay OK Bangkok. “We see new narratives, more diversity popping up every day. For example, I’m really interested in the gender fluidity young people are talking about these days. The world of LGBTQ is sensitive and needs further exploration.”
The butterfly effect: The unexpected consequences of popularity
A few months ago, one of 2gether: the Series’ young lead stars posted comments on social media that allegedly criticized China’s power over Hong Kong and Taiwan. Though his comments were clearly misconstrued and taken out of context, it didn’t stop a full-blown war from exploding on Twitter. Thai and Chinese users, Boys Love fans and just simple detractors alike, exchanged insults. It wasn’t too long until Hong Kongers and Taiwanese weighed in and banded together with the Thais in a digital coalition called “Milk Tea Alliance.” Even famous Hong Kong political activist Joshua Wong showed his support for the affiliation.
When the Embassy of China in Thailand issued a statement on its Facebook Page (which wasn’t received well by netizens), everyone knew things had gone out of control. The controversial issue went on to make the headlines of many news agencies, including Reuters.
But like everything else in the Twitter universe, the fire was doused as quickly as it sparked. After a few weeks, the online dispute died down, but it did leave the series more popular than ever.
Soft power in the making
Exercising a nation’s culture as “soft power,” a persuasive, indirect international relation tool, has become a common practice worldwide. For example, K-pop has been one of South Korea’s key export products for years, making waves—and money—across the world. In 2018, it was reported that Korean cultural content exports were worth US$9.55 billion.
Similarly, Thai Boys Love is becoming more popular across the region, but could it become so influential as to affect pan-national relations and eventually evolve into Thailand’s new soft power?
“South Korea is exporting K-pop culture and, you know what, we are now exporting Boys Love series,” Utain says, adding that Boys Love fans around the world have praised Thai versions as some of the world’s best. “There are communities that monitor Thai Boys Love series. There could be a new Facebook Page popping up right following the news about the release of a new Boys Love series.”
GMMTV 2gether the Series
South Korea is exporting K-pop culture and, you know what, we are now exporting Boys Love series
Shortly after 2gether: the Series ended, GMMTV announced a series of virtual fan meetings featuring lead actors from its other Boys Love series—moderating in various languages, no less. Tickets were sold worldwide. You don’t have to be an economist to say GMMTV will definitely be bagging a hefty profit.
“I’m very confident in the quality of Boys Love series produced by many Thai production companies. 2gether the Series, for example, has proven successful,” says Noppanat. “It was the first time we saw opportunities in new markets: South America, Europe, the western hemisphere. 2gether the Series was the case study for us all [to prove] that it could go beyond Boys Love fans.”

It started out well and then it just went downhill. It was such a disappointment in the end.
The acting was really unnatural, especially the two male leads. When they cried and laughed it was so forced. Some scenes were also very fake. They were handsome and that’s about it. You can’t survive on eye candy alone. Even the side characters acted better.
The whole idea of the plot was good, when you read about it. But when you watch it you’re like «what’s happening?». They rush from one scene in the other. The story was really mixed up.
I hated the ending. The story ended when it just began. I want to complain more about the ending but I don’t want to add any spoilers.
Totally wasted my time. It was my first boys love movie and I really regret watching it. I’m not recommending this to anyone, really.
Btw: I’m an artist and they really ridiculed a real artist :(.

Yaoi Genre
Edit Locked
With its roots in the chinbi (aesthetic) novels of the 1970s and doujinshi culture, commercial Boy’s Love has developed drastically in terms of style and content. While some stereotypes and cliches remain, such as characters denying homosexuality, or lack of realism with regard to gay culture, and the prevalence of rape fantasy as a common theme, modern BL often grapples with subjects like homophobia and gay identity, and has gained popularity among gay men as a result. Furthermore, transmasculine fans may relate strongly to men being assigned feminine bodies and female social roles.
See Boys’ Love Notes for a list of standard character types.
For the corresponding genre aimed specifically at a gay male readership (though many female readers also enjoy it), see Bara Genre. For the Distaff Counterpart to this genre, see Yuri Genre, or Hentai.
No relation to the Yowie, an Australian cryptid similar to the Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti.
If you’re looking to write in the genre yourself, see the page on how to write a good Yaoi.
Boys’ Love
Contents
General
In English, often abbreviated BL. Written as BL or ボイズラブ in Japanese. The manga and anime genre of fictional male homosexual romance, created for a female audience. It is sometimes used interchangeably with yaoi and shounen ai in English (but not in Japanese).
The term is also used to describe a growing number of live action dramas coming primarily from Asia. These stories are gaining an international following, especially in countries where male / male romance stories are not being produced.
International Usage
While fannish drift occurs and complicates matters, internationally there are still usage differences in regards to BL and its related genres, yaoi and shounen ai.
China China has its own native variety of BL known as Danmei (耽美). The terms «Danmei» or «Chinese BL» tend to be used interchangeably in English. In China, Danmei is known as a subculture, as homosexuality is generally frowned upon in the country. It isn’t explicit, instead being focused more on story, theme, and character. With the main characters sharing a relationship that’s the most idealized version of romance that can be possible, thus the genre sharing a huge level of popularity among the female audience- enough so that the most popular genre on Jinjiang Literature City, a influential web novel site targeted towards women in China, is Danmei. Germany While German fandom and publisher usage is a wild mix, shonen ai/shounen ai is still the term generally used for the BL genre, with yaoi (especially for sexually explicit works) and Boys Love in second and third place. [1] Japan the contemporary catch-all term, used by both publishers and fans, which has replaced shonen ai, for both professional works and fanworks. [2] In Japan, yaoi is the sexually explicit, amateur subset of BL. (The word may also be used disparagingly to refer to PWP content and a lack of artistic merit.) United States Both American fans and publishers commonly refer to the genre of BL as Yaoi. [3] [4] [5]
History
Adding to the confusion is the fact that preferred terms in Japanese have shifted over time, particularly as styles changed. [6]
Manga that target a gay male demographic are known as ‘bara’. The art style emphasises ‘masculine’ traits, such as large muscles and hairy bodies.
Notable BL Works
A number of BL works have significant fan followings. Here is a list of some popular works and adaptations.
Magazines for Boys: Reviews and Recommendations
Real Reviews on The Best Magazines for Boys
Magazines are great for boys and we love magazines. We usually write lists on best books for boys for many different topics, but I didn’t want to leave out magazines because boys can really benefit from reading them.
We like them because they are full of interesting tidbits that lead to more in-depth learning on topics that you may become interested in.
They are also nice to pick up when you just have a few minutes to relax.
Many children’s magazines have minimal, or no, advertising. They are often very visual and some have spectacular pictures to look at.
They are nice to take on trips which is especially nice for issues you don’t care to keep–while traveling just leave them for others to enjoy.
Best of all magazines are a whole lot of fun to get in the mail.
I know boys who get really excited when they get something in the mail. Order a few magazines and your boy will enjoy going out to get the mail even more.

Magazines for Boys
I put together a very thorough review of magazines that I think will appeal to boys.
I reviewed each title by getting copies of the magazine and actually reading them. Yup, I really read them and these are real reviews.
I hope you will find this article helpful in choosing magazines for your family.
Types of Magazines
In looking at magazines for boys I would say there are two main types.
The first is what I call the variety type; it has all different types of information in it.
The second is what I call the topical type; it focuses specifically on one animal or one subject and uses stories, poems, games etc. to share a lot of information. Topic magazines, of which there are many, can be really great—if you like the topic.
Both types have their strong points. You might find getting more than one type is the way to go.
Publisher Viewpoints:
You should keep in mind that many magazines come from the same few publishers and may have viewpoints that fit great with what your family believes, or they may state as fact ideas that are in contrast to your own views.
This can make for good conversations and interesting debate or it can be bothersome. It can also lead to going on info scavenger hunts to see what others have to say about a specific topic, which is a good thing.
Check out a few issues of a magazine before subscribing if you have concerns.
How To Save Money On Magazines
Children’s magazines can be expensive! But there are ways to save.
Top Magazines for Boys
It was hard to choose the top magazines as every boy is different and might like different things.
I based my reviews on high quality, interesting, informative writing and good photography & art.
These are magazines that consistently deliver a high quality product with a whole lot of boy appeal.
Ages baby – 3 Years Old
This magazine has high quality pages which are thicker than a normal magazine but thinner than a board book. The pages almost have a thin laminated feel but they do rip.
Each issue starts with the classic Kim and Carrots. Kim is a little girl who has a stuffed bunny named Carrots. They do lovely, basic life things and it is a delight to read. Babybug is great for beginning readers as well.
In addition to Kim and Carrots there are poems, songs, rhymes, tiny stories, and a let’s explore section with photographs.
Illustrated by a variety of artists the magazine exposes young children to many styles of art. The back cover always has 4 items to search for in the magazine.
I love this magazine and really think you and your boys will enjoy it as well.
The only advertising is for magazines by the publisher. 9 issues a year. Very high quality—recommended. (also available in Spanish)
Ages 3 – 6 Years Old
Ladybug : After Babybug comes Ladybug. A magazine for young children ages 3 – 6.
This has the same type of things that are in Babybug.
It starts with a Max and Kate story each issue—very cute. Stories are longer here, as are poems. There are songs that include the musical notes, little puzzles such as find the differences or small mazes, rebus style stories, and there is always some type of cut out activity at the back.
The back cover features a comic—Molly and Emmett which is about a girl and her cat and is funny and entertaining and not only for girls 🙂
Again, high quality content and art. A very nicely done magazine.
My son really liked getting this and we read them cover to cover every time they came.
The only advertising is for magazines by the publisher. 9 issues a year. (also available in Spanish) Recommended.
Begins with Click (a mouse) and the kids (his family) which has been a favorite in our house—a comic book style story which is fun to read and you always learn a little something along the way.
The same could be said for this magazine which picks a topic and explores it through stories, poems, non-fiction articles and more.
Always includes a cut out activity at the back as well as the Beatrice Black Bear comic.
Click covers science, art and nature as well as environmental issues.
Overall this is a good magazine with nice intro to new information. We always looked forward to getting the next issue. I reviewed issues with titles, “Your Nose Knows” and “Count On It” to give you an idea of the type of content they cover.
The only advertising is for other magazines by the publisher. 9 issues a year. Recommended.
Ages 6 – 9 Years Old
LEGO Life Magazine (formally LEGO club magazine)
Great for boys who are into everything LEGO.
Has some comics, contests, building instructions & challenges, interviews, and creations made by other kids. It includes club codes for extra things to do online.
This magazine has a lot of LEGO advertising for merchandise and media and has become more commercial in recent years. That said, it is something that my son loves getting in the mail as do many, many boys we know.
Since we are big LEGO lovers we don’t mind the ads and like to look at them to see what is new.
This is a super magazine for boys.
LEGO Club is for ages 7+ 6 issues a year. FREE! Recommended.
Note: LEGO Club Jr. has been discontinued and is not longer available.
Ask : This is an arts and science magazine for ages 6 – 9.
We have some issues of this magazine and have enjoyed them.
They are filled with misc. things that are really intriguing and fun to read. Issues include cartoons, long and short articles, fun facts, contests and reader letters.
Each issue is on a specific topic but the information is varied and interesting.
It has great color photographs and neat illustrations, glossy pages and is of high quality.
The only advertising is for other publications by same magazine publisher. 9 issues a year.
This is a good magazine for boys who are curious and/or interested in art and science. (Also available in Spanish) Recommended.
Ages 9 – 14 Years Old
Cobblestone: Discover American History with this well done publication. For kids ages 9 – 14.
One nice thing about this magazine is that it used primary sources—it goes to the actual source to present materials. I think that is very important with a topic such as history and am happy to see them doing so.
The issue I looked at was “How We Keep in Touch” and it covered everything from computers, mail, the pony express, newspapers, Morse code, radio, television, cave writing, sun messages and much more.
There was also info on blogging, social media and the Internet and how we communicate today. It is really a very thorough and well-done publication. It also includes a cartoon and a few puzzle type activities.
There are a lot of things to like about this magazine. Boys who have other interests will enjoy this one as well but the focus is history.
The only advertising is for additional magazines by the publisher. Put out 9 times per year. Recommended.
Dig : This is all about archaeology and another publication that takes things one topic at a time.
This title has more information than Kids Discover (which now only sell individual issues and has been removed from our list) and is more in-depth on the topics. Kids Discover covers things more in little blurbs while this magazine has more articles.
This is geared toward kids 9 – 14. There is a hands-on activity in each issue. I like that the activity is directly related to the topic. There is also a comic, artwork & letters from other kids.
If your boy is interested in archaeology this is a must have, but other boys will find it very appealing as well.
High quality magazine. 9 issues a year. The only advertising is for titles of their other magazines. Recommended.
Ages Teen+
Make : Technology on Your Time This wonderful magazine could be an education in and of itself. Yup, I love it.
One thing that I really like about it is that I *always* learn something every time I read this magazine. New words, new things people are working on, new technology, new, new, new.
This is a serious magazine all about making and includes everything from woodworking to homegrown drones. There are some expensive items that you may need to build some of the projects but some can be done on the cheap and this magazine is all about doing.
This would be an absolute must for the boy who loved to take apart your clocks and phones at age 3 and has been tinkering ever since.
I would say it is for kids 11/12 and up with help, but geared toward teens and adults.
They recently changed from a small format magazine to a larger size. Projects and info galore!
6 issues per year and it looks like right now digital copies are included with the paper subscription. Highly Recommended
More Magazines For Boys
You could consider these the runner-ups.
They are loosely in order from best reviewed down but what one boy may enjoy another may not. You know your son and he knows what he likes, so have him help you pick the perfect magazine for him.
It is also good to keep in mind that some of these publications are very specific to a certain topic such as animals, art or sports.
Their more limited appeal may have put them lower on the list.
We don’t subscribe but do pick them up from the library on occasion. There are a lot of photographs which will appeal to visual learners. The quality of the photos is pretty good, some are great and some just so-so.
There is a tear-out activity sheet in each issue of the word search/maze variety. The only ads were for their publications.
My favorite part of this magazine is when they cover a specific animal and they show a drawing of the inside of the animal with muscles and with skeleton. They also show close-ups of bones, feathers etc. and tell how they work.
There is a lot of information in each issue but not so much that it is overwhelming.
I reviewed issues on Penguins (really neat!)and Animal Champions.
I also reviewed Zootles issues on Bears and Backyard Birds. The images are great and there is a nice balance between words and pictures. The writing is bigger making it nice for those who are beginning to read.
Zoobooks is for ages 6 – 12, Zootles is for ages 3 – 6.
Zoobooks has 10 issues per year; Zootles has 6 issues per year.
Stone Soup: The Magazine by Young Writers & Artists: This magazine has been around since 1973.
By seeing other children’s work in the magazine the publishers hoped to encourage more children to read and write. Kids, 13 and younger, can submit their stories, artwork, poems and book reviews to the publication.
This publication is quite wonderful and a great opportunity for boys to share their writing with others. The artwork created by children is in color.
I have updated the information here as it is now published in a different way. This magazine is currently only available through an 11 month digital subscription and/or a one time a year print subscription.
Overall very good and recommended for boys who enjoy creative writing and/or drawing.
A newer version for younger kids has been released.
According the National Wildlife Federation who is the publisher of these magazines, Ranger Rick is for ages 7 – 12, and Ranger Rick Jr. is for ages 4 – 7.
If your boy is a nature lover then he will likely enjoy a subscription to Ranger Rick. They have photo contests, short and long articles, great pictures, comics, activities, and puzzle games.
There were ads for Ranger Rick apps and the magazine. A great value and very nicely done.
I was glad to see that Ranger Rick is still a great magazine. Each has 10 issues per year.
Boys’ Life : Put out by The Boy Scouts of America this magazine has a lot of information that will appeal, according to the publisher, to boys from 7 – 17, though I think 17 is pushing it quite a bit and would say more like 13/14.
There are stories, comics, features and more. Many articles focus on being active. though much is geared toward Boy Scouts—Scouts in Action, Scouting Around, Jamboree, Scout Camp, Merit Badges etc. if you have an adventurous boy he might enjoy the magazine even if he is not in scouts.
There is a building project in each issue.
Boys’ Life does have advertising and is somewhat commercial though not too bad. It contains more content than ads.
Note that the issues I reviewed did have weapons in them including guns. 12 issues per year.
Highlights is for ages 6 – 12 but I can say that age 12 is too high and older boys are not very likely to enjoy this as much as younger boys would, but it does depend on the boy. It is a bit youngish.
High Five is for kids ages 2 – 6 and Hello is for ages 0 – 2. The pages are filled with activities, stories, articles, puzzles and a few crafts.
The Timbertoes cartoon is still in there—remember them? All in all it is an old-fashioned magazine. This is kind of refreshing to see. They call is wholesome and I would agree.
The only advertising I saw was for other publications and products put out by Highlights but they do push them. It is just as I remember it.
Boys who like puzzles and enjoy reading a variety of different stories will enjoy this mag.
Each has 12 issues per year.
Spider : After Babybug and Ladybug comes Spider for ages 6 – 9.
Spider starts with Doodlebug (brother) and Dandeline (sister) and has a generally amusing but a bit girly storyline. There are still things that boys will like here.
There are stories, poems, a puzzle game or two, a recipe, and a couple of activities at the back. They have a non-fiction article as well.
I wish they had a few more of those in here as many boys this age really enjoy non-fiction. Still, it is really well done with a wide variety of art styles.
We still have copies of this and look back on them on occasion. 9 issues per year.
The only advertising is for other publications.
National Geographic Kids : We used to get this magazine and one thing that I really didn’t like was how many ads were in it.
I got newer issues as it has been a while since I have seen it and not much has changed. There are quite a few ads here in comparison with other children’s magazines.
That aside, it is a fun magazine with a lot of bits and pieces of info in it. There is not a lot of in-depth content here but in a way that is what makes it neat. Each issue is very loosely based on a topic.
I reviewed Real Animal Heroes, Life in a Lion Pride and Funny Photos. There was info on each of those topics but there were a lot of other non-related items as well.
You will find articles, games, jokes, quizzes and a funny fill-in which is like MadLibs. We always did the fill-in.
They also have an art zone where they feature drawings from children.
If you don’t mind the ads this is a decent magazine with a good variety of information that boys will find enjoyable.
For kids 6+, 10 issues per year.
Jack and Jill has been published for over 75 years! I did not have any experience with this magazine but since it had been around for so long I decided to check it out.
It started out with a neat full color hidden object (like Ispy) game and also included stories, articles, other puzzles and things to do, a section of jokes etc. There are photographs as well as cartoon illustrations (just ok).
It has a lot of interesting tidbits and looks like it would be fun for boys to read. The paper is a bit cheap. Not what I would consider a high quality magazine (writing, layout and overall content is pretty basic.)
I think it would be a fun one to throw in the car while traveling if you can get it cheap or free.
Listed for ages 6 – 12 but I would say that it is more like 6 – 9 or so. No ads. 6 issues per year.
Turtle (preschool) and Humpty Dumpty (ages 2-6) are also available.
Sports Illustrated for Kids : Great for those kinethetic learners who love sports and don’t really like to sit still to read a whole book. The articles are short.
I thought there would be a ton of ads in this magazine but really it wasn’t too bad. I saw a big ad for Hall of Game Awards and then one for football camp, a “review” that was more like an ad for Nintendo Wii U and some games, and a bit of product placement here and there.
There are a lot of short articles about all different types of sports. The issue I reviewed had NASCAR, basketball, football, tennis, running, baseball etc. It also had sport cards, quizzes, trivia, and a picture puzzle.
12 issues per year, ages 8 – 15.
Muse : The Magazine of Life, The Universe and Pie Throwing: Ok, they had me at the title. They also had the boys in my boys’ book club at the title too. They were so surprised at the pie throwing part!
This magazine is a bit odd—on purpose. It has comics, random facts, in-depth articles on a variety of unusual topics (the one I read was on fake meat,) and photographs.
They also have contests which give your boy a chance to get his work (writing/photograph) in a national magazine. They advertise other magazines from same publisher. No other advertising or commercial placement was found.
Overall a unique magazine that boys might really enjoy.
Even though it was quirky and I thought my son would enjoy it he gave it a rating of only 2 out of 5—he didn’t like it much at all.
They say ages 9+ and I generally agree that the topics were a bit older. 9 issues a year.
Faces: People, Places, and Cultures : This magazine focuses on a how other cultures live. It covers different countries or regions in each issue.
The articles are interesting and vary in size. There are pictures of children from other cultures and they go into depth on how they live.
There is a question and answer section, a contest, and puzzles. The main focus is articles.
Listed for grades 5 – 9. Includes ads for other publications, but no other advertising.
If your boy is social or really enjoys learning about others he will like this interesting magazine. 9 issues per year.
Nature Friend Magazine : I have one old copy of this magazine that we still look at from time to time. I think I got it free somewhere.
Their description says that they don’t get involved in creation vs evolution but present things from the perspective of “God’s Word” and “the creatures he has created.”
It includes puzzles, stories, informational articles, art sent in by kids, photographs, activities etc. My issue has nice photos and art and is very family friendly.
I was unable to obtain a recent copy and the sample copies they have on their site are older as well (2009.)
I would image it is very similar in nature now (sorry 🙂 ) to what has been presented in the past.
Overall, a decent religious magazine on nature.
There are contests here and those can be a lot of fun for boys to enter and a good learning experience as well.
It tries to be more interactive that some magazines and does a pretty good job of it.
They ask questions and you can respond via e-mail or snail mail.
I reviewed issues on Spies and Cats & Dogs. Listed for ages 9 – 14. The articles are longer and may not appeal to boys who don’t like to read a lot of information at once but they are interspersed with shorter articles that have more visual appeal—overall a pretty good balance.
Again, one topic per magazine so if it is something they love they will be happy, if it is a topic they know little about they might find something new to read about or just leave it lay.
9 issues a year and ads are for their own publication.
Cricket : After Babybug, Ladybug and Spider comes Cricket. Cricket has the tagline: The Realm of Imagination. Geared toward ages 9 – 14.
The stories are longer and more complex but there is also quite a big change in content and style. There are more cultural stories and the artwork is older and darker (in color and style) in nature.
Maybe it is trying too hard to appeal more to the 14-year-olds. We tried it when my son was around 8/9 and he didn’t care for it.
Because of the increased length of some of the stories they are published in several parts so that you have to wait for the next issue or two to finish the story.
Not the same quality as the magazines by this publisher for younger children. The only advertising is for other publications.
Boys Quest : This is a small format magazine for elementary age boys.
It is cartoon-y and we love cartoons and comics but the style didn’t really appeal (at all!) to me or my son.
There are puzzles, articles, and a workshop activity. Each issue is on a specific topic. I read one on “freedom” and one on “fun with my sister.” They were o.k.
I wanted to like the magazine but I am pretty much stuck at just o.k.
I did like the science section which has a small experiment.
The reviews on this one are mixed, some love it and other’s don’t.
This magazine is published 6 times a year. Ages 8 – 12.

Title
Same-sex romantic/sexual relationships between men are the focus of these stories.
The term Boys Love and its abbreviation BL are commonly used to refer media written by women for female audiences in Japan, while the term Bara is often used for media written by men for male audiences. In the West, the terms Shounen Ai (romantic/non-sexual) and Yaoi (sexual) are more commonly used for BL.
On MAL, Boys Love combines all homosexual relationships between men and explicit genres (Ecchi, Erotica, Hentai) are used to indicate the sexual content level. This means most Shounen Ai stories have no explicit genres, most Yaoi are labelled Ecchi or Erotica, and most Bara are labelled Hentai.

To top it all off, a woman calls the apartment asking for «Kei-chan,» and at that, Ranmaru loses it. Hurt by Kei’s unfaithful actions, Ranmaru storms off. He spends the day reminiscing about years of precious memories, deciding to put them behind him for good—and when he is «picked up» by a woman on the streets, he comes to terms with reality.

Ален Лабуэль семейная фотография
Ален Лабуаль (Alain Laboile) – Французский художник и фотограф направивший творческий потенциал на создание серии жанровых черно-белых портретных снимков своих шестерых любимых дочерей и сыновей.
Alain Laboile Ален Лябуэль
Ален Лабуаль не окончив школу, перепробовал разные профессии до момента знакомства со своей будущей супругой Анн, которая в то время (1990 год) изучала историю искусства. Под влиянием Анн он впервые познакомился с произведениями итальянского Возрождения, увлёкся изобразительным искусством, а затем и сам решился заняться скульптурой. В 2004 году Лабуалю пришлось приобрести фотоаппарат, чтобы в качестве скульптора он смог составить портфолио из своих работ (основной его темой было конструирование гигантских насекомых из разных материалов).
Фотограф: Alen Lebois
Первые работы самоучки были в режиме макросъемки отсняты на компактный цифровой фотоаппарат Nikon Coolpix 2200.
В декабре 2012 года газета «The New York Times» впервые опубликовала большую статью о творчестве фотографа и признала его незаурядный талант.
Лабуаль начал наполнять первый семейный альбом в возрасте 39 лет, этот цикл назывался «Семья» и не предполагался для публикации. Первые выставки фотографа состоялись за пределами Франции — в Японии и США, позже пришло признание и на родине. В 2014 году Ален Лабуаль побывал в России и провёл мастер-класс в Суздале.
Персональные выставки фотографа к 2017 году прошли в Токио, Нью-Дели, Сан-Пауло, Амстердаме, Вене, Сиэтле, Рио-де-Жанейро, Янине и других городах.

Семья художника живет на юге страны, в сельской местности, где нет телевизора (но при этом много компьютеров). Большую часть свободного времени дети и взрослые проводят на улице.

Шестеро детей-моделей живут в полной гармонии под одной крышей, прекрасно ладят между собой. В семье нет строгого режима приема пищи и сна. Каждый ребенок живет в своем собственном ритме.
Alain Laboile Ален Лябуэль
Художник признает, что не имел хорошего автомобиля, и вероятно, никогда не закончит ремонт в стареньком доме, но это не важно. Жить нужно здесь и сейчас! Ему нравится такая жизнь.
Младшие из детворы меньше обращают внимания на фотоаппарат. Им интересен сам процесс, а не его результаты, поэтому они открыты перед камерой.
Фотограф: Alen Lebois
Что касается старших, то их представление о собственном образе заметно мешает созданию естественных снимков, но погружение в игру с младшими облегчает общий процесс съемки.
Глядя на эти обыденные семейные сюжеты французского автора многие вспомнят нечто похожее в своей собственной жизни.
Событием, которое круто изменило его жизнь, Лабуаль считает встречу с американским фотографом Джоком Стёрджесом и поездку в его дом в Сиэтле. Тремя важнейшими качествами фотоискусства он называет спонтанность, индивидуальность и самобытность.

Добрые детские впечатления сохраняются и остаются в кадре, если родители периодически умело пользовались фотоаппаратом.
«Надеюсь, мой 8-летний сын будет любить мальчиков всем сердцем. «
Сообщение о раскрытии московской милицией целой банды сетевых педофилов в конце октября стало настоящим потрясением. Оказывается, целая группировка людей, называвших себя «бойлаверами», спокойно существовала на глазах чуть ли не всего мира. Они соблазняли беспризорников и детей из неблагополучных семей. Причем некоторые «любители мальчиков» сами лишь недавно вышли из подросткового возраста. Корреспондент «Известий» Антон Заритовский выяснил подробности этой истории.
Мальчики-зайчики
Виртуальное общение продолжилось в реальной жизни. Бойлаверы договорились действовать сообща.
С мальчишками БэЛы знакомились прямо на улицах Москвы. Высматривали детдомовцев и ребят из бедных семей. Предлагали покататься на специально купленном мопеде или сытно поесть в «Макдоналдсе». Не избалованные жизнью ребята с легкостью соглашались. После нескольких дней такого «дружеского общения» мальчишек заманивали в квартиру: поиграть на компьютерной приставке.
Следствию удалось установить, что на счету шестерых бойлаверов 10 соблазненных мальчишек. Растлители их называли «зайчиками» или «заями». Обменивались, как марками. А потом на совместных вечеринках обсуждали скабрезные детали.
Эхо ущербных 90-х.
Борисов (Седрик), когда ему было всего 16, работал руководителем пресс-центра при летнем оздоровительном лагере. Делал фотографии и снимал видеоролики о будничной жизни лагеря. А затем выкладывал их на им же созданный сайт. Все выглядело вполне прилично, обычная жизнь детского лагеря.
Но даже эти фотографии среди виртуальных извращенцев имели успех. Завязалась переписка, Игорь познакомился с «поклонниками своего таланта».
Правда, работал Седрик совсем недолго. По версии pedofily.ru (интернет-сайт, предупреждающий родителей об опасности, грозящей их детям), подвело Игоря именно обилие детских фотографий на сайте лагеря. Позже он вообще начал делать фотографии по заказу бойлаверов. Детишки на них запечатлены уже менее одетыми, но в целом за рамки приличий Седрик не выходил. И все же руководство лагеря якобы насторожилось, и Борисова с занимаемой должности попросили.
Впрочем, руководство лагеря изложило «Известиям» иную версию:
— Борисов проработал у нас всего 15 дней. А уволили его за банальное пьянство. О его пристрастиях мы даже не догадывались.
Я позвонил на фирму, где работал 37-летний Котик.
— Добрый день. Я звоню по поводу Сергея Кондратенко.
Приятный женский голос меня решительно прерывает:
— Он работал у нас всего девять дней. И исчез. После мы узнали, в какую историю он попал.
Жена как плата за потомство
В Уголовном кодексе отношение к подобного рода «узким аспектам» сформулировано без жеманных экивоков: согласно статье 134 за сексуальные отношения с несовершеннолетними можно угодить за решетку на 4 года.
Примечательно, что некоторым бойлаверам удается вести обычную вроде бы жизнь. Они женятся, заводят детей. Но своей любви к мальчикам не изменяют. Вот откровения обладателя ника Doloer (не так давно он работал школьным учителем):
— Жену воспринимаю как плату за сына (только ей ни слова). Как человека, как роднюличку мою, я ее люблю, как себя, для меня женщины дороже ее (после мамы) нет во вселенной, она очень добрая, нежная и ласковая. Мои заи моего сына постепенно начали вводить в тему. Надеюсь, что скоро он найдет себе человека, который его полюбит всем сердцем, как БэЛ может любить мальчика.
Сыну Doloer’a всего 8 лет. Но заботливый папашка уже создает для него будущее. Светлое. Безмятежно-голубое.
Киберпатруль для любителей мальчиков
Вообще, на Западе с насильниками и педофилами предпочитают не церемониться. В штате Калифорния «химическая кастрация» (введение осужденному инъекций специального средства, снижающего уровень тестостерона) является обязательной для педофилов с 1996 года. Таким же образом с извращенцами поступают в Швеции, Германии и Дании.
«Кастрировать педофилов» призвали глава МВД Великобритании и президент Франции Николя Саркози, но соответствующие законы в этих странах пока не приняты.
Педофилы выбирают своих жертв наметанным глазом
Извращенца можно вылечить, если он захочет
