No, you can’t some magazines, clearly target a specific audience
Issue is that you can do this with almost any magazine today. It's not unreasonable to assume that Otokonoko is male oriented, since the genre was born in make oriented spaces, but yeah, I also don't think it's right to ignore the gigabyte female audience that exists

What aesthetical interests are you talking about and why don’t we see it with gay men and Yuri?

Late reply I know but i am happy that my claim that ikemen joshi/princely girl/or takarazuka type girl characters are spiritual bishounen has some truth to it i used to think i was alone for thinking this
I think the theme is classic bishonen manga though this includes Ikeda’s Oniisama E (though arguably some of the women there are bishonen...) don’t think I’ll be displaying the Gilbert pin up though 😅

I don’t like WHA but the manga has 9 million copies in circulation while yeah not as popular as frieren it’s not obscure either
Leftists are crying because the obvious industry plant, Witch Hat Atelier, isn't nearly as popular as Frieren.
The author, Kamome Shirahama, is a leftist with pro-Palestine views, drawing a character in the same pose as Handala, which was a pro-Palestine cartoon character. She has also donated to "gaza related" causes, used hashtags in support of Gaza, and signed various petitions and shared news related to it.
She is also pro LGBTQ, and the series explicitly contains same-sex relationships because she intentionally added them for solidarity with the "pride movement". The story also contains themes related to inclusiveness and diversity, and she has said that she used the diversity in american media as an inspiration...
She is also connected to UNESCO, with her interview with Laetitia Kaci, promoting the idea that the story is for global audiences, and Kodansha promoted it as an international feature piece.
Most Manga/Anime readers are not interested in stories with artificial ideological pandering, and would prefer stories like Frieren that don't have that loaded baggage... especially these days as more fans have become very wary of anything that even smells like woke garbage.

Considering the controversies on Twitter, how long until BL is considered a TERF or chud genre at least in Twitter?

"Tobira wo Akete" is an interesting case of the shoujo isekai pioneers.
The original novel was released in 1981. The OVA and the shoujo manga version were released in 1986.
The protagonist is a female psychic. She is summoned to a fantasy world.
With Rayearth getting a lot of attention again thanks to the remake I thought I'd direct people towards Genmu Senki Leda too. A one episode OVA also about a girl getting transported to another world and becoming a magical warrior with stellar art and animation.

In the first chapter of Kanata Kara, the protagonist's friends talk about her dream world and say it's like Arai Motoko's Tobira wo Akete.
It's an intentional homage.
