History

In 2006, the Nakano Fujoshi Sisters were formed as a comic performance troupe, consisting of gravure models and actresses who considered themselves otaku and fujoshi. In 2010, they renamed themselves Nakano Fujo Sisters and began releasing original music. While performing multiple live shows under the name Nakano Fujo Sisters, the group formed a male-alter ego for themselves, Fudanjuku, to make performances more interesting. The group released their debut single in 2008.
After November 25, 2011, the activities of the group Nakano Fujo Sisters were placed on hiatus. Fudanjuku, however, continues to perform and release new works.

Other media

Manga

In 2011, Arina Tanemura, who is friends with the members of Fudanjuku, wrote and illustrated Fudanjuku Monogatari, a manga adaptation featuring fictional portrayals of their male alter-egos. The comic ran for seven chapters in Margaret. Tanemura had drawn the comic after Fudanjuku had expressed interest in cosplaying as her characters. A vomic adaptation covering the first chapter was released in four parts on a weekly basis in 2012, with the members of Fudanjuku providing the voices to the characters.
