Opera ( Japanese: オペラ) is a quarterly Japanese boys' love (BL) manga magazine. The magazine is published by Akane Shinsha, which launched Opera in 2005 as a successor to its earlier quarterly BL anthology magazine Edge. Notable titles serialized in Opera include Classmates, Go For It, Nakamura!, and the BL works of Natsume Ono. [a]

History

The first issue of Opera was published on December 15, 2005. The magazine is a successor to Edge, Akane Shinsha's previous quarterly BL magazine that ran from May 2004 to April 2005; [1] titles serialized in Opera are published as tankōbon volumes by Akane Shinsha under their Edge Comix imprint. [2] New issues of Opera are published on a quarterly basis.

In 2018, Opera opened a pop-up cafe in Harajuku, Tokyo featuring original merchandise and menu items inspired by titles serialized in the magazine. The cafe operated from March 16 to April 8, 2018. [3] A second pop-up cafe opened in Ikebukuro, Tokyo in 2019. [4]
