Love Pistols (originally titled Sex Pistols in Japan) is a Japanese yaoi manga series written and illustrated by Tarako Kotobuki. The English release was renamed from the original Japanese title "Sex Pistols" to "avoid any legal trouble" with the English punk rock group of the same name. The premise of the story is that 30% of humans are not descended from apes but from other animals (these people are called "Zoomans") and they can interbreed with humans and with other male Zoomans by the use of a symbiote. Norio, an ordinary high school student discovers his Zoomanity and deals with the advances of many male Zoomans who want him to have their babies. The series previously licensed and published in English in North America by Tokyopop's Blu imprint is now published under Viz Media's BL imprint, SuBLime. Geneon released a series of four Drama CDs for Sex Pistols between November 27, 2004, and April 25, 2008. A two-episode original video animation adaptation went on sale in 2010.
