Kabe Sa Dōjin Sakka no Nekoyashiki-kun wa Shōnin Yokkyū o Kojiraseteiru (壁サー同人作家の猫屋敷くんは承認欲求をこじらせている, transl. 'Popular Indie Creator Nekoyashiki is Making His Yearning for Approval Worse'), abbreviated as KabeKoji (壁こじ) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kazuki Minamoto [ja]. It has been serialized on Comic Ryū Web since 2020. KabeKoji follows the relationship between a gay creator of doujinshi (self-published manga) and a male idol.

Synopsis

[edit]

Mamoru Nekoyashiki is doujinshi (self-published manga) creator who authors boys' love (male-male romance manga) under the pen name "Kōniku-sensei". Nekoyashiki is a highly popular creator at doujinshi conventions,[a] and uses this popularity to fulfill his desire for external validation. At a convention he has a chance reunion with Kazama Issei, a childhood friend he once had a crush on, and who now performs as an idol under the stage name "Issay".

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ "Kabe sa" in the series' title refers to "kabe circle" (壁サークル, kabe sākuru, "wall circle"), a slang term for doujinshi groups or "circles" that are popular enough to be placed along the wall of the convention venue for purposes of crowd management.[1]
