This subculture contained another subculture that focused on erotic stories, many of which saw love blossoming between the men found in popular anime and manga franchises. Many dōjinshi were based on existing works. Due to being self-published, these creators could be way more explicit with their depictions of adult behavior.

Gekiga emerged in the 1950s and aimed to show more mature and realistic stories aimed at older audiences. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.This was also combined with a massive change in the manga industry with the growth of the Gekiga genre. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.



All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.
