The first part of an interview study of shota fans.

This dōjinshi presents the first results of interviews I have made with Japanese male shota fans, divided into these sections:

  • Presentation of the participants
  • Preferred ages
  • Preferred type of shota
  • Sexuality and lifestyle
  • Real shota
A spread from ショタリポート① /Shota Ripōto 1 (2020)

Although the interviews were made separately, both over email and in physical meetings, I have intertwined the answers to create the feeling of a conversation between the participants. I have also drawn sketches of the participants to support this feeling.

And since this is a dōjinshi, I have also created my own character, Tarō-kun, who adorn several of the pages. Drawing my own character was also a way for me to come closer to the mindset of shota artists. It was actually a very overwhelming experience to come up with Tarō-kun and let him take various forms and expressions through my pen. It felt like giving life!

Setting up my space at ショタフェス5 (Shotafes 5) in Yokohama, 16 February 2020.

Shota Ripōto 1 premiered at Shotafes 5 in Yokohama on 16 February 2020. I sold 42 copies for 200 yen each. Many of the buyers showed interest in the study, and in the following weeks I met some of them to conduct further interviews.

A separate English translation is available as a simple folded leaflet.
