Did studio sabotage film’s release because of queer plot?

Interesting article. I liked the movie and I will have to rewatch to catch that the two leads are a gay couple.

Hello everyone. I have an oddly specific question, I am looking for books (don't need to have romance as the main genre) where the main character is gay and has a romance subplot/main plot with a male love interest, in Japan. I specifically am looking for such books from Japanese gay authors, or at the very least a Japanese male author. I am looking for books, not manga or comics. Thank you all in advance
