Time for another June BL magazine review! I'm gonna tag these #JuneMagTime at the start of every thread rather than keep adding to old ones.
This is from March 1982. I think it does a great job showing a variety of early BL art styles. Keiko Takemiya illustrated a lot of the early covers.

Comments
Color fold out "Winter Light" by Naka Tomoko
Sakata Yasuko one shot: I love her work so expect more. Usually short stories. She co-coined the term "yaoi" with Hatsu Akiko! Queen!!!
"Swan Lake" by Muraso Shunichi
She's so important to BL history!
Illustrations by Ishihara Goto (in prose by Bijoya Takizawa I think?)
Last two pics from "Red Roses Blooming on the Battlefield" by Higashi Mineko (interesting style, no idea what is happening in this story)
