June magazine is a toko zasshi, a magazine which mainly publishes unsolicited manuscripts with a small honorarium.

In June, stories are not required to include a "love scene".

June is the earliest yaoi (BL) magazine, which began in 1978. As a response to the success of commercially published manga, such as the works of female artists Keiko Takemiya, Moto Hagio and Yumiko Ōshima. Other factors that influenced the founding of June were, the rising popularity of depictions of bishōnen in the dōjinshi market and ambiguous musicians, such as David Bowie and Queen. June was meant to have an underground, "cultish, guerilla-style" feeling – most of its manga artists were new talent. Frederik L. Schodt describes June as "a kind of 'readers' magazine, created by and for the readers".

These days, Magazine Magazine carries the most adults-only pornographic speciality magazines for BL, as well as mens' pornographic manga.
