When the ML gets tamed, or at least he mellows out (usually he’s only mellow with the love interest, but that’s ok). Examples: Ilay Zhenya That one guy from the pawn’s revenge (he hasn’t been tamed yet bye we all know he’s gonna turn to mush when it comes to Je-oh’s friend).   reply

I think everyone deals with death differently. You just have to find what works for you, even if that means getting professional help. I’ve had 3 of my grandparents, a great grandmother, a niece ( my sister’s kid), 2 cousins, a family friend that was almost like a second dad and a few pets die I n my lifetime. I wasn’t necessarily close to m......   reply

-True bromance. -A guy and a girl being JUST friends -Characters actually communicating -If they’re going to base their story in the US, make it somewhere besides NYC. We have other major cities, ya know? -Along that same vein, if you’re going to have American characters, they can be from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, not just some vague w......   reply

My faves change every so often, but currently the one I’m always excited to see a new chapter drop is Guiding Hazard.   reply

Ooh, that’s a little hard...let me see if I remember: Natsume’s book of friends Beauty Pop (mainly cus I have not found another shojo protagonist as laid back as Kiri.) Geneimuso( Phantom Dream)- Natsuki Takaya’s first series. Fruits basket another ( yeah I like the sequel better). Nightmare Inspector (Yumekui Kenbun) Seven Days Lack of Lov......   1 reply

Yes and no. I read yaoi for the sex, and shonen-ai for the sexual tension, but my gripe is when there is no build up to either the sex or the romance. So it’s either they meet, have sex once and suddenly nobody else is good enough and they can only have sex with each other, or there is straight sex with absolutely no dialogue. I’ve seen some ......   reply

I usually don’t like female characters, but there are a handful I like, but if I have to pick a favorite, I’d have to say Kiri from Beauty Pop. Beauty Pop ran in a magazine aimed at girls ages 9-13. I’m way past that age, even when it was originally being released in English I was already past the age demographic, but I’ve never encountere......   1 reply

Divorcées- nothing against divorced people in real life, but at least in BLs, the divorcée either married because they couldn’t/wouldn’t admit they’re in love with whoever they’ll end up with, or they married cus they wanted to, but their marriage went south and suddenly they’re gay. Ugh. Fated lovers- the fact that you don’t have a ......   reply

You can try Mobius Strip. I don’t know if he’s quite bitchy, but definitely not a softie and a former bully to the top: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/mobius_strip/ Other possibilities (not bullies, but not softies), maybe? https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kannousei_play_things/ https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/namae_mo_shiranai_machiawas......   1 reply

Last time it was a cat, I've gotten a new phone and now I have Lord Grim and Ye Xiu from The King's Avatar (Quan Zhi Gao Shou). I guess I should be ok being stuck in the elevator with them.   reply

1). Never understood this one myself. I can't speak about the difficulty of women dealing w/ straight men because I identify as asexual leaning very heavily towards aromantic so relationships and romance are not issues on my radar. That aside, yaoi is a genre aimed at woman that tends to romanticize situations. I think the fans that state they "wis......   reply

No. Let’s be real, no matter how much I spend buying the ones I really like, there are others I read here that I don’t like enough to spend money on. Or I won’t spend money on ones that have been localized (I hate that) no matter how good they are (unless I don’t realize they have been localized). So no, I don’t feel guilty per se. I bu......   1 reply

Born and raised in the greater Los Angeles area in the US. Mexican parents. Surprised to see more Mexicans than US people answering this question. Thought there would be a lot more Americans.   2 reply

1. Not straight out, no, but at this point in my life my closest family have an inkling that I am not “normal”. So they don’t have a word for it, but know I’m not interested in romance. (I’m lithromantic). 2. Not Muslim nor do I live in a Muslim country, but my mom and brother and a few select friends know I read BL. I don’t go anno......   reply

Just in terms of appearance, I think the nose either makes or breaks a face. There are a few people who've I'd thought were beautiful (appearance-wise): Brad Pitt (in his younger days) Axl Rose ( again in his younger days) Jared Leto (younger). But the cutest (maybe beautiful is not the right word) are baby animals. A lot of art is beautiful too. ......   reply

I’m not much of a crier, but when Avilio killed Corteo in 91 Days, I cried.   reply

Usually after the first run, I just re-read my favorite parts. The only series I can remember re-reading in its entirety a few times has been The Beast must die. (Even bought the official German physical books even I I can’t read German.)   reply

When it’s drawn like in a manga or described in text about fictional characters, , hardly anything that is considered disgusting in reality bothers me, but feet, whether drawn or real do bug me. So any type of foot play is a big no no for me.   reply
