  • Good work Morgan and thanks for the translation! Some improvements:
    • "The series was to be broadly focused ..." - sounds like she was given a mandate, by herself or by the publisher?
      • Clarified.
    • "Sora ga Suki! draws inspiration in plot ... she drew inspiration through ..." - 'drawing inspiration' phrase in consecutive sentences, would you be able to paraphrase one of them? If not, that's fine with me
      • Revised.
    • A summary of Shōnen-ai section in the lead would be beneficial, maybe about the atypical of the era and the taboo
      • I don't think that's strictly necessary, since Sora ga Suki isn't actually a shonen-ai series. I've noted the inclusion of bishōnen and the notability of the mostly male cast in the lede, which hopefully accomplishes some of what you're looking for.

  • ALT2 ... that Japanese manga series Sora ga Suki! depicted two male characters kissing each other despite being a taboo for manga in the 1970s?
    @Morgan695: Can we put this alt with "in the 1970s"? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 14:31, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
