Issues

Shousetsu Bang*Bang publishes its regular issues every two months throughout the year. These contain explicit m/m content. All issues have a theme and contain stories between 1500 and 23,000 words; the exception is December issues, which are theme-free and have no upper limit on story length.

These issues are 'regular' issues because they are the kind Shousetsu Bang*Bang was founded to include, and therefore make up the majority of published issues. However, there are also Special Issues, Artist Special Issues, and Yes, And Issues.
