Boy!!! Love and Fan-Fiction

Bembenick, Candace Lauren

Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Art History (Fine Arts).
This paper visually analyzes the anime Yuri!!! on Ice (2016), directed by Sayo Yamamoto, in moments that target interaction from the fujoshi fan-group. In the first chapter, the concept of moe is used to analyze character traits and the beginnings of character relationships. The second chapter analyzes scenes of ambiguous and suggestive animation, which inspires fujoshi to create images of the characters (Victor and Yuri as well as Yurio and Otabek) as romantically involved. The third chapter analyzes moments depicted within the credit scenes of the anime that further promote the romantic involvement of the characters. This paper concludes that fujoshi participation was purposefully encouraged by the anime creators.
