I am totally new to this. So forgive me if my questions sound stupid. For the longest time I have been reading BL online. Now, I think it's time to start building my personal collection & support My Fav Mangakas. So I want to buy BL mangas online. So, I would be REALLY grateful if someone breaks down the steps to me about online transaction & answer a few of my queries
- How safe it is?
- Which site is your fav for online transaction?
- Do you guys use credit cards? Or Paypal?
- Which one do you think is safer? credit cards OR paypal?
- Have there been any incident where you have been conned or heard of anyone being conned?
- Have you ever received a defected product?
- What do you do then?
- How many days does it take for the stuff to be shipped/delivered?
- Do shipment charge costs a lot?
FYI: My country falls under South Aisa.
AND Thanks to anyone who has the patience to read & answer my long list of question :P
The site I use depends on what I'm buying. You can often buy them straight on the website of the publishers. Amazon is usually a decent option. Barnesandnoble.com actually has more of a selection than you might think also. I always just use my credit card info, and have never had an issue, though some say paypal is the better option. I usually buy e-copies, so I get them immediately with no shipping cost or risk of shipping errors. If you are buy physical copies and are buying straight from the publisher or a mass seller like Amazon or one of the major online book retailers like Barnes & Noble, you should have minimal risk of defected products, and there should be options right on the site to report any issues you might have. Shipping charges and timeframes for delivery will vary hugely depending on where you are in relation wherever it's coming from. I honestly could not even begin to answer for you, given that we live in different parts of the world. You can look that up on the site, though.
there's alot of good yaoi manhwas in Lezhin,maybe some of your fave mangas are in Lezhin,you can buy coins to buy chapters and support the mangakas^^
Thank you very much for your detailed answer. I will check out Barnes and noble.
Awesome Holic-chan!!~ :D Which one do you plan to buy? :D
Thanks dear. That's a wonderful idea. I actually WANT to try that too. That's why asking about online transaction.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!! Guro-chan How are you? (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I want to start with my fav ones - Like the entire ZE collection OR Totally Captivated(I don't even know if this one has an english copy or not :P )
Guro-sama is great as always. :D How about you? Hope everything is smooth.~
Ohhh then you should check it out before you get disappointed at the end. >.<
Wow! That's a really valuable piece of information for me. So that's why a lot of internet users prefer paypal! I was wondering why such a large group of people likes using paypal. Thanks a lot for your answer :)
I am also doing good! Currently on a weight loss journey! *praise me* (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
No worries. Even if it doesn't have an english copy I have hundreds of other mangas to choose from ヾ(☆▽☆)
Ohhhh good luck with it!!~ You can do it, i totally believe in you!!~ <3
Hahaha true, true. :D Have fun with the collect. ;D I also collect manga from time to time if i like some very much, like for example i have all volumes of Vassalord. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ and i'm lucky to buy them all in a comic book store. :3
OMG!! You are definitely a Lucky one!! I am jealous of you!!
Don't you have comic book stores in your country? :O
NOPE. TT__TT
as for me, i trust amazon. i use paypal when buying.
but to save for shipping costs, i normally buy published manga in komikons and our local comic stores.
there are ebook stores i go to renta.
http://www.ebookrenta.com/renta/sc/frm/page/topics/yaoi_new.htm bec it's a legit japanese ditributor of manga and also sublime if you want to buy the copies https://www.sublimemanga.com
Aww that sucks! >.< Not even in bigger cities? :O
Hmm....I guess paypal it is then. As the majority goes in favor of that. Thanks a lot takame!
Yes. There are 3 in the capital city BUT none of them have mangas in store or won't ship them :(
That sucks even more!! D:
I'm that one person that don't have money to buy chapters, but Lezhin is a really good page!
Don't worry dear. You'll get there eventually. I was also in your place years ago. But now I have a stable career, savings & my own place. So I am the bo$$ (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yeah ╥﹏╥
In my country there is Outland, Neotokyo and such, but only in the Capital. And I live 3 hours away WITH PLANE! There was one not so far from where I live, but it got taken down ):
OHHH okay , I've used credit to buy coins to read the chapters and that has worked just fine (=・ω・=)
It's exactly 12:01 A.M. 1st January, 2016 right now!!
(According to my country)
ヾ(☆▽☆)
Happy 01 January, 2016! (If you're in China, we can celebrate New Year's in a month or two.)
Thank you! (⌒▽⌒)
No, I am not in china. But we can celebrate it just like this too! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Wish you a very Happy 2016!
I just woke up. And when I logged in here, the 1st thing I notice is the storm of questions about "Mangago being down"....(⊙…⊙ )....I am so glad that I didn't have to go through such a HORRIFYING period of time, like others!! I LOVE THIS SITE!! I don't want it to go down!! TT____TT
I wasn't there when it happened but that I so scary to think about!! My LIFE is on this website
No panic. There are always too many things to do and never enough life for them all. The site is back up for me, but now my notification system is possessed by some weird youkai-like creature that notifies me every time somebody posts a comment under one of the topics I've responded to. This means that I will probably receive a dozen or more notifications before the evening is done, and none of them, or only one or two of them, will be an actual reply to anything I've written.
=___='' ....That youkai-like creature affected my notification system too. It's like FB all over again!
NO offense to FB fans!! I am just weird & antisocial enough to dislike fb & any other social networking sites, that's all.
IKR?! To think, the AMOUNT of time I spend on this site, it'll be like a NIGHTMARE if it goes down!! (⊙…⊙ )
Heh, I'm that way, too. My friends ask me why I won't sign up on facebook. "Because I'd have to use my real i.d., and I don't want to."
No way. Not online. Not ever.
Mangago was down? I'm shocked. o_o
Just imagine this site goes down for more than a day. D:
Or better not. xD
now THAT'S useful! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yep...imagining it is bad for my poor fujo heart (〜￣△￣)〜
Then better not. xD I dont want to destroy your fujo heart. x)
I was there when its happen.But I thought that was just error on my internet connection (￣∇￣")
Actually mangago did went down once for me with several other sites. But that was an error of my internet service provider. But even for that one day I bought & used my SIM company's internet package to access here. Yes, I am that addicted to this site! (⊙…⊙ )
I am totally ignorant when it comes to doujinshi. I only read a few from my fav fandoms. So please, all the experts on BL doujinshis!! Recommend me YOUR TOP 10 fav/best dounjishi's. Doesn't matter which fandom. They just have to have a great start, beautiful art & hot smut/cute story!
A humble request: NO lists. Please, i would really appreciate it if you just recommend me some of your favourite djs!! Thank you!!
Now, knock me out with your awesomeness!!

Both are smutty josei oneshots.
1st story: The girl works at a video rental store. Due to certain circumstances she ends up living with one of her colleague(a guy). I don't remember whether he was her love interest from the beginning or she fell in love with him later during living together. There was one time when the guy brings his friends unannounced OR his friends intrude on them & they make the girl cook sukiyaki for them (because she's a good cook). I don't remember what happens later, but the girl gets upset(may be) & somehow they end up together. There was sex at the end too.
2nd story: The girl was in liove with a guy who might have been her childhood friend/neighbor(not sure). One day the girl goes to his house (i don't remember why) & at that time his gf comes to visit him. The guy hides the girl & has sex with his gf and the girl sees & hears everything. Many years later they meet again. One thing leads to another and they sort of become friends with benefits. But the girl was hungry for revenge. So, she calls another guy & has sex with him. At the same time she asks the main guy to come too. The guy comes, sees her go at it with another guy & leaves. Later the girl feels sorry & they end up together.
Sorry for the lengthy description. I wrote whatever i could remember. Is there anyone who remembers any of the mangas? I AM REALLY CRAVING FOR THEM!! HELP!!
I REMEMBERED
Hello!! I saw your comment about an hour ago and wanted to reply but regrettably I didn't remember the name of the manga I was so frustrated because I knew both stories were oneshots from the same manga and it hasn't being that long since I read them....(〜￣△￣)〜 I was thinking so hard but nothing, after a while I went to shower... and then out of nowhere IT CAME TO ME! It was like God illuminated me ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I remembered the art and well here just for you:
Story 2 is chapter one and story 1 is chapter three, which begins at page 100
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/suki_wo_choudai/an/suki-wo-choudai-chapter-1-4.html/
ENJOY MY LOVEლ(´ڡ`ლ)
MY SAVIOR!! Thank you so much!!
In the shower?! LOL...XD XD . Sometimes that happens to me too. When i forget something i remember it when i am not thinking hard about it (￣∇￣")
But thank god it came to you!! I nearly lost all hopes when i went to sleep last :(
Now i'll go & enjoy my long lost oneshots (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Hahahah I know right? ! They say best place to think is the shower lol (≧∀≦)

Is this real? Does anyone know where is this from(I know it's AoT)? Where can i watch it? Where's the rest of it?
If I have to guess, it's probably fanmade. Cause I often see excellent quality Free! yaoi gifs in tumblr as well.
Σ( ￣□￣||)....thank you very much for your answer. Then, I'll just go to a corner of my room & weep in silence
TT﹏﹏﹏TT
all hail to heichou !!!!
ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
It was a oneshot, a very perverted one. Both seme & uke went to a summer festival wearing yukata. The uke bought a choco banana. The seme got turned on for some reason, jumped the uke. At one point the seme inserted the choco banana into the uke's ass, then took it out & took a bite. Then there was the usual - Uke:"don't....it's dirty", Seme:"there's nothing dirty about you" *continues licking & eating*. The sex was outdoor & near/against a tree.
That's all my stupid brain remembers. So please, HELP! Any of the fellow perverts here recognize this manga?
I want to read it too!
That's THE ONE!! Thank you so much!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
you`re welcome (⌒▽⌒)
There's this ongoing series that i forgot to put in my "reading list". I read it months ago. I don't know if it was yaoi or shounen ai as there was only chapter out at that time. And it's been literally haunting me for a few days (〜￣△￣)〜
The story goes like this -
Uke works in a convenience store/flower shop as a part timer. And the seme goes there as a regular customer. He fell in love with the uke at first site & he confesses/asks the uke on a date(<--not sure). I think he also saves the uke from trouble(forgot what it was) once. As thanks the uke agrees to cook for him, i guess. Then the uke finds out that he lives in high class condo & is actually the president of a company. Up until that point the uke thought he was a just a normal salaryman. As far as my vague memory suffice, i think the seme always wore suits, had black hair & wore glasses.
not sure if this is the one http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/hananusubito_kaneda_shoutarou/
YES!! This is one!! Thank you!! Love you!! <3
No...it's not the one I am looking for. But thanks for trying! :)
Which ANIME got you HOOKED this season?
I am watching most of the highlighted ones. But, Inuyashiki is my top fav so far! I am already addicted to the manga!!
Pingu in the city is the masterpiece of this season (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Juuni taisen, are you telling me rabbits outfit and high heel are not captivated enough for it to be your favorite? Lol jk
I'm looking for Sangatsu s2, and watching black clover.
I AM EXTREMELY CRAVING FOR TOKYO GHOUL !!!...
Not enough episodes out yet for me to decide a favorite but I will say Net-juu no Susume killed me with cuteness in it's first episode. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Koisuru Shirokuma ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I haven't found a fav yet, hope I do soon.
Tales of Zestiria,But sadly it only has few episodes on the anime because its techincally a game.But i cant download it(▰˘◡˘▰).My Friend even has a crush on Mikleo and i have a crush on Sorey(￣∇￣")
Started so many and dropped more than half of them already lol
and here I ship those two (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Haven't really watched anime lately but I was looking forward to Kekkai Sensen & Beyond
Aww yess Hajime no Ippo is my stuff this season, i'm addicted to it. sadly school is getting in the way of my binging, so it'll have to wait..
I was just done checking out Inuyashiki yesterday. I like it so far. I don't know if I'll read the manga. But I'll definitely do so after season 1 completes. (Like how I usually do with other anime). As for watching new anime, I haven't watched much. Other than Black Clover, I've just been rewatching old anime to take away the boredome as I do my homework. Plus I always like waiting, I guess, for new anime to get to at least 5+ episodes before I actually watch them for real.
Ooohhh.....I am also interested in this one but haven't started yet. But the premise looked promising.
Lol.....U got me in the rabbit outfit! I might give this one a try ^^
Yayyyy!!! I am also waiting Sangatsu S2!! Watching Black Clover too!! Even though I hate the voice actor of the mc, I am gradually falling for this anime ^_^
I didn't mention Mahoutsukai coz this is already the most highlighted anime of this season. I am guessing majority are watching it. I don't know why, but Just because didn't grow on me. I dropped it after 15 minutes. Planning to watch Kino no Tabi though. Have HUGE expectations from this one. But, Inuyashiki is my dark horse in this season. Can't get enough of it! Lol....I think everyone finds Black Clover's mc's voice annoying.
