I used to read a lot of romance novels because my mom liked to read them in her off time. (Her job at the time was very stressful, and the goofy, stupid nature of cheap romance novels helps her wind down when she's stressed.) I also really like to read them and poke fun of them. However, I realized that the lead female characters in romance novels...... 1 reply
At first it was like 15-16 old girl who want to fell in love for the first time and just found out about yaoi manga and it started to makes me feel a lot of things i did not experience before.
But when i grow up more start to realize I'm not normal like others I like yaoi and this stuff but can't connect it in real live. I mean I just realized abou...... reply
EVERYTHING! Most of the time the plots are not cliché. The love is mature and the characters put so much thought into their relationship. The cool, handsome, cute, silly, clingy, and protective semes and ukes ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ 1 reply
What i like about yaoi is...(though not can be found in all) is the pure and true love the characters feel..(yeah, i know im being superficial) but since both parties are male, it is not the typical boy-girl relationships that seem so ordinary..both parties when they fell in love or like someone will have to consider a lot of things..but still, tru...... 1 reply
I love reading about love. The gender of characters didn't bother me much I was interested in the plot. But if I were to focus on just yaoi, I prefer reading manga where both characters had a similar physical build (not where one is overpowering the other), where the characters really seem like actual guys, where the plot is not so fast-paced inste...... reply
Hmm... There are a lot of things about yaoi that make it attractive to me.
First off, I love the way the male body looks. (▰˘◡˘▰) Especially the way that they tend to be depicted by the mangaka. I guess the best way I could describe it would be to call it a healthy slenderness that doesn't involve an excessive amount of muscle? Not sure i...... reply
My reasons of liking yaoi:
1. I love male's body a lot. I look like an innocent girl but actually i am a pervert bastard who drools when there's a creature called male (sometimes i drool over beautiful female too) So seeing two cute/handsome males having sex with each other is heaven for me.
2. Usually shoujo has this cute, cheerful, innocent main ...... 1 reply
Though I am a straight twenty-something year old woman, I found the thought of gay male couples interesting in both literature and society. When I began reading manga online and found yaoi, I read a few and was hooked. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Compared to shoujo, yaoi sometimes seems a bit more realistic as far as character reactions to romance t...... reply
Maybe because it's... different? I like unique things I guess so I think yaoi is different because it shows how not only straight couples can find love, gays can too. Plus, I think society shuns gays more than lesbians bc everyone loves lesbos and titties and dat ass (including me lol) but I think people don't like the gays because "they're guys", ...... reply
