Dear+


Dear+ is a monthly manga magazine published by Shinshokan that specializes in boys' love manga. It has two sister publications: the quarterly BL light novel magazine Shōsetsu Dear+, and the bimonthly BL manga magazine Chéri+.

History

Dear+ was founded in 1997 as a companion magazine to Shinshokan's manga magazine Wings, which focuses on shōjo manga. As a magazine focused on BL, 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.
Shōsetsu Dear+ was established in 1998 as a magazine publishing serialized BL light novels. Chéri+ was established in 2011 as a BL magazine published triannually before becoming a quarterly publication in 2014.
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. Bar Dear+, a radio program also commemorating the anniversary, was broadcast weekly on from June 6 to August 29, 2017. The program was hosted by Toshiki Masuda and Yoshiki Nakajima.
