Loool they probably didn't know it was shounen ai or didn't know what it meant since its was a pretty unassuming book. Someone mentioned how they picked up this book not knowing what it was and the people who sold it didn't think twice about it since at the time BL was still pretty taboo/censored in society so those content were usually purposely seperated from the typical Shoujo mangas. But like I said, it's pretty unassuming xD which tbh, I love how stories with BL get mixed into books I come across on the shelves. I dislike when there's a whole section for lgbtq+ romance(although it makes it easier to obtain lol), it always made me feel like it's used a warning tag like, be careful there is lgbtq+ content. Because they don't do that with straight relationships. They don't have a straight relationship aisle, they just call it mystery or adventure. I would love to pick out a book from those shelves and be pleasantly surprised there are lgbtq+ romance without a label on the back of the book. LOL I'm sorry I started ranting? Babbling? Hahaha
I know right. They had other yaoi mangas as well, but they weren't as memorable as this one. Ran into one of my teacher's assistants there too and I had a major crush on him. I was so happy to see an adult reading manga( because my family always branded me as childish for liking. Apparently like animation/cartoons is childish) We had a long conversation and I ended up giving him sites to read them on. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ So in love with him back then LOL
I remember finding this in the school library, my first ever Shounen-Ai. Didn't get to finish it back then so i never read volume 3 and 4, love the new characters! Especially Mikuni <3
Hasunuma still as hot! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
