The points to keep in mind are as follows. In the lecture it is said that there are times to read aloud texts of quoted texts and to orally publish their opinions, so after thinking enough for those who are not good at it and resistance, or those who have never read BL I recommend taking classes.

BL includes erotic expression by direct sexual intercourse between men. Inevitably it will read and analyze it. Therefore, during lecture you may have to read aloud texts of quoted texts and orally give their own opinions. Those who are not good at all, those who have resistance, and those who have not read BL at all, please consider taking enough after considering it.
