chibi-master Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Umm...I sorta need some advice. I'm looking for some good yaoi and/or shonen-ai (mainly the first)manga to either hunt down and buy, or read online. Does anyone have any suggestions? :animesmil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Well, there's an incredible variety out there. For starters, what kind of stories/characters do you like? :) For that matter, it might also help to know what kinds of BL you dislike. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibi-master Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Okay then, absolutely NO musical bands. Which means please, don't recommend something like Gravitation. And hopefully not an OVERWHELMING amount of drama. That can get a little irritating. Other than that, it should be fine.:catgirl: As for characters, I would be very pleased if one of them was really aggressive. I don't like it when both of the guys are shy, they often spend far too long beating 'round the bush. And I'm impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Well, then I'll just recommend some authors instead of specific titles, since most BL (released here) is only one or two volumes.

Kawai leans a little more toward drama, and Fujiyama toward comedy; Yugi Yamada's works also tend to be more comedic, but all three have a lot of slice-of-life elements. Chances are you've already tried something by Youka Nitta (etc.) and know whether or not you like her stuff, but what the hey. Tell me if you want more details on any of these manga-ka, or if they're totally not what you're looking for. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibi-master Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks, Dagger! I'll be doing some research on these...:catgirl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applegoo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 [SIZE=1]Shonen-ai: Try [I]Loveless[/I]. The first manga is a bit confusing but it gets easier to understand once you read the second volume. Yaoi: [I]Junjo Romantica[/I]. This is my top favorite. It's just reallyreally good xD. [I]Love Pistols[/I] is a weird one, but it's original and I like it a lot as well. [I]Okane ga Nai[/I] isn't bad either :3.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
