What was your first yaoi? Or your first ever manga if yaoi is not your thing?

I’m always curious to know where everyone else started! My first yaoi was Love Stage, but my first manga was Ouran High School Host Club (you can probably tell from my profile pic lol). (⌒▽⌒) (=・ω・=)

    my first manga was Black Clover, and I discovered the bl world with Painter of the Night, but I couldn't understand the complexity of their dialogs in english, so I started to read Bj Alex instead (≧∀≦)

    started reading 5 or 6 years ago and my first manga i completed was demon slayer, then I got into shounen ai I think, I started with “Here U are” i think probs the best one I started with. Then I hopped into the yaoi world with th classics like bj alex, hold me tight, love is an illusion and painter of the night.

    My first bl is Alice in adultland because I fcking thought it was that Alice but a fan made comic then I realized when they did it tf they are both dude... This is gay what the heck and so I finished it and look at the tags that say yaoi and so I search yaoi hardcore then read a gintama doujinshi and then it went uphill after that
    Now I'm so addicted that my mom once saw me staring at my phone for a whole 5 minutes looking at abs of bl characters identify who's is who's

    Iirc I think it's Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu... Or either bj Alex and killing stalking #-.-) I started on the wrong path. Been sinning from day one.

    the first involvement i had with yaoi was shipping wrightworth back when i first watched ace attorney gameplay, lol. the first bl i read was a novel called heroic death self-saving system (i think), which my friend introduced me to. same friend also introduced me to sign, which was my first webtoon.

    i gotta say i lucked out. a handful of people i know that read bl started with killing stalking lol

    i just remembered i dropped sign bc i didnt like sex scenes (i was newly discovering im ace), but later got back into yaoi because of sasaki to miyano. so yep, i think i lucked out.

    not a big manga reader, but the earliest bl i can remember was sekai ichi hatsukoi! (age is showing). i’m pretty sure i rewatched the anime a few times. i don’t rec it but has a special place, nostalgia reasons. or it may have also been jack frost x hiccup as my first bl ship? lollll

    read/watched bls sporadically for years after, then it was the untamed/mdzs that got me really back into the genre (lgbt media and reading in general), then i’m 90% sure it was here u are which catapulted me into marathoning webtoons!
