It was a slow progression starting from age 11 through middle school (so around ages 11-14). Like I first got shounen ai vibes watching Naruto, even without that kiss scene Naruto and Sasuke had this UST that even 12 year old me picked up on. Then the same thing happened when I watched Death Note and Code Geass. Then I stumbled across a gem called ...... reply

I kind of found it during my midnight adventures when I was 16 and I could still remember it was Okane ga Nai. I actually mistaken Ayase as a girl in the front cover picture and innocently thought it was some shojo manga until I saw a dick.
After that I did not stop reading yaoi ever since. 2 reply
So if I remember it correctly, I was like 6 or 7 years old when I saw for the first time a yaoi anime. It was because of the influence of my sister back then. It was Gravitation. I stopped until I reached 8th grade. I watched Love Stage on the New Year's Eve and I just couldn't stop so I continued it up until now that I'm a little bit grown up xD reply

I started as a very young child at the age of 11, if I'm not mistaken. I remember being completely against it even though I was a determined otaku that literally watches anime of every genre that ever existed except for Yaoi and Yuri but then with Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, I slowly open up and became obsessed with it. 10 reply
