Cowboy Love Manga


U.S.-based manga publisher Yaoi Press is following in the footsteps of the Rawhide Kid and Ang Lee with Stallion, a graphic novel featuring a Native American/cowboy romance. Per the press release:

“We think it's great that our cowboy yaoi release coincides with the Brokeback Mountain movie,” says Abraham. “Stallion may be a different sort of story, but if Brokeback Mountain has given people a taste for unconventional romance, they'll definitely find Stallion appealing."

Abraham defines ‘yaoi’ as: “Stories of men in love with men for mostly women readers.” Yaoi Press borrowed their theme genre from Japan where it’s been hugely popular for several decades. Yaoi has recently gained a foothold in the United States.


Each copy of Stallion includes a sheet of color stickers featuring the main characters. (That's what was missing from Brokeback Mountain -- stickers.)
