Шаблон:Nihongo was a Japanese magazine published by Шаблон:Ill. Launched in October 1980 as a special issue of the anime magazine Шаблон:Ill, it became a standalone publication in June 1983, and was discontinued in February 1984.
Allan was one of the earliest commercial publications in Japan to focus on male-male romance for a female audience, and was centered on the concept of Шаблон:Transl (Шаблон:Lit). It launched at a time when June, the first commercial male-male romance magazine for a female audience in Japan (and which was also centered on the concept of Шаблон:Transl), had temporarily ceased publication. Several artists and writers that contributed to June, including Yasuko Aoike and Шаблон:Ill, also contributed to Allan.
