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.
