My first Yaoi experience was "Hana Wa Saku Ka" by Hidaka Shoko. It was an amazingly beautiful and romantic and funny story. My 2nd fav is also beautiful, "Sono Mama De", such a wonderful story! I have read manga for a long time but I find the romance of Yaoi to be more wonderful than boy/girl romance. It's not just the perceived forbideness of the love, but the idea of two people whose love transcends gender, society, etc. taking on the world together. I have laughed, cried and gotten angry along with the characters of many of favorite Yaoi mangas. I hope that many people continue to read this great genre! Hana Wa
