 Youka Nitta has said that "even in Japan, reading boys' love isn't something that parents encourage" and encouraged any parents who had concerns about her works to read them.Although in Japan, concern about manga has been mostly directed to "shōnen" manga, in 2006, an email campaign was launched against the availability of BL manga in Sakai City's public library.In August 2008, the library decided to stop buying more BL, and to keep its existing BL in a collection restricted to adult readers.
