Wow you are an og yaoi reader. Those works you mentioned are classic older yaoi’s that many people don’t know about nowadays. I’m glad to see someone who’s read these ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Happy to find like minded people like myself to reply to me
I have confession to make I'm not proud of it
Right now we are saying miners shouldn't read
But I myself started reading yaoi when I was 12 it has been 20 years and now I'm 32 but old titles were mostly censored and didn't have that many adult them unlike now.
I feel like I'm old school now so many things and styles have changed but I'm happy that tragedy is no longer popular unlike that time
I remember all popular titles previously were tragedy and I was always scared for new titles to end up sadly
I know people say minors shouldn’t read yaoi, but majority of us old yaoi readers and even new yaoi readers are mostly underage. Teenagers also are not that innocent and are curious about sex and sexuality so some people can find comfort in not only BL but also GL. I am bisexual and I really liked to read both, and it made me more accepting of gay relationships and myself. I think the argument is kinda invalid since regardless teens will still read what they want regardless of age. It’s also the same thing with video games. Kids will still buy violent video games or watch movies 18+ because they want to see such topics. I’m sure like 90% of boys get someone to buy their video games, and majority of teens have seen porn even tho it’s supposed to be 18+. It’s extremely normal to be curious about these things and hard to regulate if you are not the parent. Even at school children will have such talks and that’s why sex ed is important because rather than teaching incorrect information they know teens will still have sex so it’s important to teach them the correct way to do things.
Yeah most of the older yaoi stories are tragic. I only realised that Haru wo daite actually ended sadly. I chose to ignore the ending because I will never accept such an ending for them. One of them died in a car accident… also ai no kusabi was so sad. They didn’t deserve to die. I’m glad we are getting more happy endings and even coloured manwha. Back in the days we only got black and white but Korean BL is coloured now. Super interesting. I recommend to read danmei (Chinese BL). It’s soooo good, and has extremely romantic plot lines. My favourite is a novel by Meatbun called case file compendium. It’s about a mentally ill patient who is obsessed with his ex-psychiatric and they have a toxic, crazy relationship.
Yeah really a good opinion
During my teenage years when I was 12 I was disgusted with myself and homosexuality was crime and punishable by death in my country so i couldn't find anywhere safe and was even thinking of suicide and could only find relief by reading yaoi and imagine myself being the uke character
I read this around 2012 like it has been more than 12 years
This manga with View finder and lovers mode and haru wo daieta and dear green were my favorites and it had so much effect on me I recommend them to all those that are interested in old school titles.
And i cried for weeks for Ai no kusabi
It was nice to return to remember memories
The Media and webtoons has changed so much and with many content that it's unbelievable
