Kaze to Ki no Uta ("The Poem of Wind and Trees") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Keiko Takemiya. It was serialized in the shōjo manga (girls' manga) magazine Shūkan Shōjo Comic from 1976 to 1980, and in Petit Flower from 1981 to 1984. One of the earliest works in the shōnen-ai (male–male romance) genre, Kaze to Ki no Uta follows the tragic romance between two students at an all-boys boarding school in late 19th-century France. The series was developed and published amid a significant transitional period for shōjo manga, as the medium shifted from an audience composed primarily of children to an audience of adolescents and young adults. It attracted controversy for its mature themes of sadomasochism, incest, and rape, but nevertheless achieved significant critical and commercial success, winning the 1979 Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōjo category. Kaze to Ki no Uta is regarded as a pioneering work of shōnen-ai, and is credited by critics with widely popularizing the genre. (Full article...)

Hi Morgan695 and KuroMina and congratulations. A draft blurb for this article is above. Thoughts, comments and edits from you or from anyone else interested are welcome. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:43, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- Gog the Mild Thanks for writing up the draft, which I've made some revisions to. The photo of Arles feels kind of superfluous; my preference would be to include either an image of Takemiya (which sadly does not exist on Commons) or have no image at all, but I know the general practice is to strive to have as few image-less TFAs as possible.

- We have several image-free TFAs this month already, but I'll blank it and see if anyone objects. Gog the Mild (talk) 08:02, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
