I'm really so curious about Mai-chan now... but I can't stand guro, so I'm thinking that's not for me.
I've read some sick twisted stuff, but for the most part I got over it all. I'm really having fun reading the posts about people scarred by yaoi... I'm not saying your pain isn't real, but really, there's much worse than two boys and bum sex.
good luck getting over yaoi, though, you meet some fun people once you get on the fujoshi bandwagon.
I think the only manga I've read so far that really left a horrific impact on me was
Kami no Kodomo. It's pretty tame compared to some stuff out there, but the art style and dreamlike tale... wahh. Shivers.
Ibitsu creeper me out more than it should have. It was the doll she carried, the bloody teddy bear... (I think that's the manga, anyway). Not good for someone with any sort of pediophobia like moi...
Deadman Wonderland was the first outright icky manga I ever read. Hearing about Gantz and Berserk, I'm scared to ever start them.
Before I knew what guro was when I first got into hentai... I had some problems, accompanied by nasty uncontrollable ero-guro and just plain horror guro nightmares.... Thank you, brain, for sharing that with me, it was just what I needed.
