Dear+ ( Japanese: ディアプラス, Hepburn: Dia Purasu, pronounced Dear Plus) is a monthly manga magazine published by Shinshokan that specializes in boys' love (BL) manga. It has two sister publications: the quarterly BL light novel magazine Shōsetsu Dear+ ( Japanese: 小説ディアプラス), and the bimonthly BL manga magazine Chéri+ ( Japanese: シェリプラス, Hepburn: Sheri Purasu).
Dear+ was founded in 1997 as a companion magazine to Shinshokan's manga magazine Wings, which focuses on shōjo manga (manga for girls). As a magazine focused on BL (male-male romance), Dear+ was established to publish material considered too explicit for publication in Wings. Initially established as a quarterly magazine, Dear+ has been published monthly since 2003. [1]
Shōsetsu Dear+ was established in 1998 as a magazine publishing serialized BL light novels. [2] Chéri+ was established in 2011 as a BL magazine published triannually (thrice per year) [3] before becoming a quarterly publication in 2014. [4]
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Dear+ in 2017, an exhibition was held at the Parco Museum in Ikebukuro. The exhibition featured original artwork from 53 artists, as well as smartphone-enabled augmented reality elements. [5] Bar Dear+, a radio program also commemorating the anniversary, was broadcast weekly on Super! A&G+ (an internet radio subsidiary of Nippon Cultural Broadcasting) from June 6 to August 29, 2017. The program was hosted by Toshiki Masuda and Yoshiki Nakajima. [6]
The following is a partial list of titles serialized in Dear+, Shōsetsu Dear+, and Chéri+.
