hey! I just wondering how did you guys get yourself into yaoi/shounen ai? as for me, I s...

well when I started watching anime I didn't even know there was a yaoi genre but a accident led me to yaoi anime then I progressed into manga when I finished nearly all the decent yaoi anime :D 2nd year of middle school tho? fufufu

i started reading shounen ai when i'm in the first year of high school. the first manga i read is komatta toki ni wa hoshi ni kike!(the story is really fun and interesting (=・ω・=)) from that time i started searching similar manga. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

note: when i reading komatta i never know about shounen ai or yaoi(≧∀≦)
sorry for my english (=・ω・=)

I don't remember what manga I first read but the first yaoi anime I watched was sekai ichi hatsukoi and then junjou romantica and after that I was hooked and quickly ran out of decent animes and found yaoi manga

I started in from late 6th to early 7th grade...
As I said earlier I found an episode of Sekaiichi Hatsukoi from the suggested videos section while watching a minecraft youtube video :I
and at that time I was rly bored to I just kept watchign it and when the series ended I found even more weird stuff in the suggestions list and I watched it and then I figured out that manga existed in a non-video format so I started reading manga -.- Looking at the stuff I started out with, wow I must've been a pedo (￣∇￣")
Ya I hate children now :D (in my dictionary a "child" is someone not yet in highschool -.-)

sekaiichi was my first
and i got into yaoi b4 i knew anime existed
i always read the word as aneem
kuroko no basuke was my first anime cuz i found a knb dj and i didnt know what doujinshis were so i thot kurobas was yaoi-related

i didnt kno what anime n manga were when i got into yaoi...
-.- just an innocent and curious lil kid i was back then

that was only 2 yrs ago

I started in...grade 6? 7? Something like that. That time I was watching Naruto, and then suddenly I saw someone post a SasuNaru picture on Instagram or something, and I thought they look really good together, so I started reading fanfics, and one thing led to another, soo....yeah.

I started with loveless when I was 10

Acrually maybe 11

I already had my first child and had been working professionally for over a decade when I read an article in The Guardian Online Newspaper about fan culture, which discussed all the various different types of fan fiction, conventions, cosplay, doujinshi circles, etc.. Although it sounded interesting and very positive, it didn't make an impact on me until I made some changes which involved the loss of my two favourite bookstores. Nothing in the country where I then lived was comparable, so I started looking up fanfiction online as an alternative. This transition lead to me developing a whole different skill-set. I started writing my own work, learned how to use Photoshop, movie-maker and CS, and became involved with different online communities. At some point, I wanted an image to turn into an icon which represented something I had written and came across some fanart by a Russian artist. It was of a beautifully tall but imperious young man with long blond hair. Who he was and which story he came from eluded me, however, until, eventually, I discovered he was "Iason" from Ai no Kusabi. That was my first anime, and I wasn't too impressed at first, because I wasn't into BDSM, but the science fiction backstory grew on me, especially the terraforming story, and that led to
different manga and anime (Gundam Wing), which was already very old, slash fanfiction of anime characters, and, eventually, yaoi.

It all started because CLAMP don't make their gay couple kiss. To get me out of my frustration someone suggest me the anime of Gravitation

It started in when I was in grade 7-8 when I was watching/reading random shojou manga and anime when I came across Junjou romantica and sekai Ichi hatsukoi and my interest in yaoi started there ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

i think it started when i got interested with sukisho anime which i came across from an anime magazine. in that magazine, it didn't mention anything about shounen ai and the plot of the anime got me interested. but at that time, i was still not really into yaoi/shonen ai until i came across haru wo daiteita and okane ga nai, which got me into yaoi/shonen ai. at that time, i think i was around 13 years old.

My first yaoi is an anime , 1st I didn't know what is bl / yaoi / shounen Ai , but then one day (on my secondary year) I was watching angel beats anime(youtube) and I saw Misaki (junjou romantically) face on some of the recommended video along the line , and I went to watch it , I tot Misaki was a girl , then went I hear the voice and saw Usagi-san was kissing him I was like (⊙…⊙ ) then I went and search through the Google , this is whr I started to watch and read yaoi (づ￣ ³￣)づ

It was in 2011. I was watching Takumi-kun (a gay movie) on youtube, and clicked on a video in the suggested videos section, which happened to be a yaoi AMV, and since it got me interested I looked up the titles and watched them. After that I also got into regular anime.

I started when I was 12, I got curious about Junjou Romantica and I watched the two seasons. I started to really get into it when I was 13 and discovered FAKE. Hands down my very fave manga.

I Started when I was 12. First, I just read SA. The first SA manga I read was Koori No Mamono No Monogatari. Once day, I went to the bookstore like normal, try to look for some interesting manga to kill the time. Then I see Koori No Mamono No Monogatari in the bookshelf. The cover is quite good so I want to try it. In the begining, it quite shock for me - a traditional asian girl. But sooner, I became...uhm obsess about SA manga. I read every SA manga in the bookstore and then try to find some in the Internet. And then a new door open to me ^^. It's "yaoi" door.

My brother.

I was in my first year of high school, I was using the computer, I had just barely discovered manga, I don't remember the manga but it had two guys facing each other, innocently I clicked it expecting shoujo and the next thing I knew two guys were doing it. I was so embarrased and since the computer was in the living room I took it off so I wouldn't get in trouble (≧∀≦)
