I only read shojo manga back in middle school and had quite literally never heard of bl (I remember some of my friends talking about it and my dumbass self who has always lived with a very conservative family didn’t understand how two men could be in a relationship... like legit). Maybe it’s because I was a super hardcore reverse harem/otome ga...... reply
It's in my acc., but okay. I'm a female so I guess the major factor for me was being in a class with only dudes all throughout my entire junior/senior high.

I was in middle school (I think) and I was reading shoujo. Then, I got so annoyed with the common tropes and went on to reading smut and josei. I remembered my sister at the time was into yaoi so I tried it out and that’s when it started. Although, I’m more obsessed with yaoi compared to how my sister was back then.
