Spreading Science Fiction
Generally, SF is considered to be an abbreviation for Science Fiction, and the Japanese translation most often used in the past is "空想科学小説" ('fantasy science novel'). In modern times, the definition of science fiction is not clear, and the definition alone has caused much controversy. In order not to get too deeply into the controversy over the meaning of the definition, the term "SF" is often used in the Japanese-speaking world as an abbreviation instead of "Science Fiction" or "空想科学小説".
Refer to the article in Japanese on the definition controversy in the Japanese-speaking world.
