I wasn't necessarily shocked. I'd watched porn before, including gay porn. But I remember being turned off by the way the guys were drawn. I had read something where the guys were drawn very manly and muscular. Kind of like bara but not all the way there. Anyways, at the time I didn't like that art style so I didn't finish reading it. But now I'm t......   reply

It's not surprising as being chubby or overweight is less common in Japan than in western countries. Also, even in the west, the most desirable bodies are slimmer. It's only recently that countries like America have started to appreciate different body types and feature them more in media.   reply

Even though I'm also a bi female, I'll try to answer. And I really think I could write a whole essay on this. Firstly, I feel like the mechanics of yaoi sex can be quite off. You have to keep in mind that most authors are female and they aren't always knowledgeable about gay sex. And maybe they think that since it's fiction that they can just do wh......   4 reply

I'll be 30 next month and still read manga. I don't watch anime as much as I used to, but I still watch it occasionally.   reply

27 years old and from the US, but currently living abroad. I've only really gotten into K-Pop a couple of years ago. I'm complete Seventeen trash. My other favs are BTS, Monsta X, 2NE1, NU'EST, Day 6, and Shinee.   reply

I've been thinking about shaving my head. Hair is just such a bother. I don't think having a shaved head would bother me, but it might be viewed badly by the people around me. Like I recently switched careers and had to go through a ton of interviews to get a new job. I don't think I could get hired if my head was shaved. And even now, I think it m......   1 reply

What I find the most annoying is when a straight character falls in love with another guy but continues to identify as straight. They'll say something along the lines of "I'm straight, I just happened to fall in love with this particular person who's a guy". It happens in one of my favorite manga, Haru wo Daite Ita. After the two guys become a coup......   1 reply

1) why are they carrying me? I don't like to be carried so I'd be mad about that before we even got to any restaurant 2) it depends on why they are bringing me to McDonald's. If they can only afford fast food, I'd rather they saved money and cooked from home or maybe skip the food and write me a nice letter or make me something. But if they were t......   reply

For Japan, I think there is more of an understanding that manga is fictional and that things acceptable in manga aren't necessarily acceptable in real life. I don't think they really worry about how it might affect people's opinions and world views. I don't think there's anyone who would say rape is acceptable. But for me personally, I have a big p......   1 reply

I have a couple of short novels in English. I only read them once, and kind of regret buying them because they weren't that good. I also have 2 manga volumes in Japanese. Since I was studying Japanese I bought them thinking eventually I'd get to a good enough level to read them on my own. Still haven't reached that level of Japanese though. Overall......   reply

Well I'm 27 and I've never been in a serious relationship or in love. Literally my longest relationship lasted 1 month and that was over 10 years ago. So I don't think your abnormal. But I do think you need to stop comparing yourself to everyone else. You just need to do what feels right to you. I think it's better to be alone than to be in a shitt......   reply

I've had a few teachers who I was attracted to, but never a serious crush. I think when you're still in school it's fun to fantasize about dating a teacher. But once you get older, you realize how creepy it would be for a teacher to actually date their student. There's the age difference and the fact that teachers are in a position of power. If the......   1 reply

The reason I'm more into yaoi than shoujo is because I'm a perv. I like all the sex ლ(´ڡ`ლ), lol. I tried shoujo smut but there isn't much that is actually smutty, and there are way too many rape stories in that genre (although yaoi has that problem too). But yeah, I can read straight romances, but I rarely do because they're not as satisfy......   reply

This isn't the weirdest dream I've ever had, but it was the weirdest dream I had this month. So I'm a big fan of a certain K-pop group. In this dream, I was hanging out in a bar with the guys after they finished a concert. At some point, I turn around and I see one of the members giving a lap dance to some random guy. (⊙…⊙ ) No clue why I dre......   reply

I'm bi but I prefer yaoi. Yuri just seems to unrealistic to me. I know yaoi is unrealistic as well, but since I'm not a guy it doesn't bother me as much.   1 reply

I started when I was 11 years old. When I was young, I felt really odd and even guilty about it. You hear so much about boys doing it, but no one ever talks about girls. But it's perfectly natural and normal for girls to do it!   1 reply

Everyone started super young it seems. I didn't start reading manga until I was around 20 or 21. I started reading yaoi about a year after that. I wasn't interested in yaoi at first just because I thought that gay manga would only appeal to gay men, little did I know this genre was made by and aimed at women.   reply

1) Personally I don't wish I were a gay man (well maybe I'd try it out for a day). I'm a bi woman and I feel fairly comfortable with who I am. 2) I'm skipping this question because I don't look down on fem characters. 3) I guess just because this is the dynamic that yaoi writers built. Yaoi writers are mostly straight woman who know little about re......   1 reply

For me it's not really a fair comparison. There's so much more manga available than manhwa. I've read over 1000 manga but only a couple dozen manhwa. The manhwa I've read have been good, but because I've read much more good manga I have to choose manga. There is one thing that annoys me about manhwa, though. In 99% of the manhwa I've read a gang ap......   reply

I'm 27. I've been watching porn since I was like 11 or 12. I don't think there's anything wrong with girls watching porn. Traditionally, societies have thought that girls don't have much sexual desire. I think it's really that guys don't understand female sexuality. And this manga you're currently reading is from Korea where they still have more co......   1 reply
