Pop Japan Travel announces exclusive meeting with legendary Yaoi creator, Makoto Tateno!

Already celebrating its fourth tour of 2009, Pop Japan Travel is pleased to announce the return of the highly anticipated Fujoshi Paradise Tour, which now includes an exclusive meeting with legendary yaoi creator Makoto Tateno!

From May 13th until May 21st, Fujoshi shall unite as Pop Japan Travel brings Yaoi fans to Japan for what could be considered the most unique tour of the year.  Focused entirely on the theme of Yaoi (also known as "Boys Love" or "Shonen Ai"), our Fujoshi Paradise Tour is so exciting that it was featured in a recent issue of Metropolis, the most widely circulated English-language magazine in Japan.  Adding to the excitement, this year's tour now features an EXCLUSIVE meeting with Makoto Tateno, the creator of some of the best-selling Yaoi titles in history, including Hero Heel, Yellow, Steal Moon, Hate To Love You, Red Angel, and Omen.

As if meeting Makoto Tateno was not enough, this year's tour participants will be staying at a luxurious hotel in Ikebukuro, just steps away from Otome Road- the mecca of all things Yaoi!  Throw in a visit to Edelstein Butler Cafe, the Roppongi Kingyo Drag Revue, Miyazaki's Ghibli Museum, Muscle Musical (featuring Ninja Warrior Kunoichi winner Ayako Miyake), shopping in Akihabara and Harajuku, and an optional extension to Kyoto and Osaka, and you have a Fujoshi's dream come true!  Don't miss it!!

$2,209 + tax. Price includes transportation to and from Japan, four-star hotel accommodation, all transportation within Japan, all tour events, bilingual tour guides, customized guidebooks, luggage transportation in Japan, and more! For more details, visit www.popjapantravel.com!

Forgive me, but my understanding is that "Boys Love" is a different genre than Yaoi; less exlicite and more focused on romantic relationships and/or friendships.

I have to look these titles up now.

I think you've got it right.
