About Japan's Scene of Contributions. (Contributed Illustrations to Magazines.)

There are many magazines issued in Japan, and manga (Japanese style cartoon) magazines are the most popular ones.

mangas are classfied to four main categories, shonen style manga (manga style for boys or young men), shojo style manga (one for girls or young women), yaoi or bishonen style manga, (so-called "boys' love") and hentai or bishojo style manga (an erotic story expressed with manga).

Most hentai magazines have readers' pages, which many readers contribute their illustrations to.

Some contributors are well known not only to readers but also to many people who are not readers of such hentai magazines.

MINOBE Hiroyuki, Producer of Marguerite Site, is one of the most famous contributors of Japan.
