The Oyaji ♥ Club focuses on works that feature an older man in a main role.
"Oyaji" literally means father, but is also casually used to refer to middle-aged men. The lower age limit to qualify as an oyaji is typically early 30's. Common oyaji "cues" include visible signs of age like wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, a career, an established family, and, of course, crotchety old man behavior. Within manga, there's certain character types associated with this term. We love them all here and feature works with oyaji main characters that range from the gentle, fatherly type to the crazy old guy who chases us off his lawn. We ♥ him the most.
For now, most works are from the BL genre with a small sampling of josei, seinen, and bara mixed within. This club will always have a BL slant, so deal or GTFO. More works are always being added as the great oyaji hunt continues!
There are licensed works, scanned works, and raw works all listed here. <u>Asking where to download something is a good way to get kicked and/or banned</u> from the club, so <em>don't do that</em>.
