oh, my first post

(hope, my english will work out^^°)

ontopic:

for years Kizuna was my uncontested favourite (i guess it also was my first yaoi). but now it has been ousted by the Finder Series - not only for the amazing style of drawing but the increeeeedible HOTTT two semes! *gasp* look at the hair of Fei Long! also cool, that the uke is not this typical womanish whiny wuss.

up to now i potracted to read volume 4, since there are just those 4 if i am informed correctly?!

I'm still new at reading yaoi manga...but so far some of my favorites are, "Picnic" "Rin!'

and "Yami No Matseui" (I don't know if you would classify as Yaoi)

And my first Yaoi anime"Loveless"- the underage uke almost threw me off from liking it..

My fave in the Original section is The Blue Prince. Very romantic and the narrative really is compelling.

Ai no Kusabi: So far I've only seen the recent anime remake. Loved it. Wish they'd finish it (sigh). I kind of don't want to ruin it for myself by seeing the original, even though people seem to love the original, I've 'bonded' with the new one now. Eventually I will probably get over it and track the original down. I am not sure how to get my hands on the novel (I am used to looking for manga online).

10 Dance: I am currently really loving this manga. If you like slash that is not formulaic yaoi with one guy obviously being the stand-in for the girl, you might want to check this one out. These are two very manly (and very beautiful) men with a nice competitive dynamic.

For yaoi that is more pure BL style (for really girly people like me) Junjou Romantica was pretty good, but I actually liked Sekaiichi Hatsukoi (also done by Nakamura Sensei) better. It felt like there was a lot more thought put into the setting and side plots (apart from the romance) and there was a nice continuity to it. It's also possible I am biased because in the case of Sekaiichi, (1) I read all of the manga as well as seeing the anime, and (2) I actually read / watched it first, because the first scene of Junjou Romantica weirded me out so much I stopped reading (it got better lol).

I did like Okane ga Nai, and the rape thing didn't bother me, though I can understand why people would find it offensive. However, I find that the uke is sooooo ridiculously girly that I don't really get a proper yaoi-boner from it.
