This paper investigates a group of people called ‘Fuzyosi’ from conceptual, lifestyle, ideological, and market value perspectives. The findings are as follows: 1. ‘Fuzyosi’ are a sub-class of ‘Female Otakus’, and they can be defined as ‘women who enjoy novels or manga, usually also composed by women, with gay themes. 2. Because ‘Fuzyosi’ maintain a reasonable level of social sophistication and cleanliness and have a normal work life, they are indistinguishable from ‘non-otaku women’. Moreover, their world of ‘BL (Boys Love)’ is the only thing they are hiding, which makes them less conspicuous compared to their male otaku counterparts. 3. ‘Fuzyosi’ enjoy reading ‘Yaoi’ or ‘BL’ which are works with male homosexual themes. However, unlike for the male otakus, for the ‘fuzyosi’ this is merely a pastime. 4. The ‘Fuzyosi’ industry is current stagnant, but it is likely to maintain its status as a sizeable industry because of the constant nature of the demand.
