Ha, yep- yaoi's that good. Once you read one manga, you'll read ten, and then a hundred... so I think you get it. It's pretty awesome. 😃

it depends really, sometimes it's disturbing to the point of yuck, sometimes it's worth reading even if you're not a fujoshi, and sometimes...well it all depends lol

Well of course sometimes they go a little overboard, but for the most part it's like a drug. 😀

Na it depends, most people think of yaoi as the worst thing the otaku culture has ever known, some even went as far as banning it, but yes it's like a drug...for few people, and it's like a dagger to the head for most lol

Yes, yaoi is that good. 😀 You can get so addicted to it so fast, no amount of rehab is going to save you. 😁 Also, yaoi fangirls tend to be willing to go the extra mile for their fandom. Of course, fangirls tend to be a bit on the crazy and obsessive side anyways.

TrueTrueTrue specially the addicted part - chance encounter = push buttons you didn't even know you had = five months ago I didn't know what a fujoshi was now I are one 😀

I wouldn't say to most. After all, BL is an increasingly popular genre in both Japan and western countries. (:

Hahaha. I'm also asking that. Since I've met so many girls that are a fan of it, I decided to research it.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoi[/url]
And then, after reading the article, I already came up with something. I think it's both made for girls and homosexuals. It's a different kind of romance. A more developed kind of Shounen Ai. It's kind of a thing that gives romance a whole new light. Since we're used to the femalexmale type of thing, it somehow gives the idea of forbidden love.

Personally, I'm not a fan of it. Though I think most boys are, too. I'm not sure. But I guess, we just have to respect those who are fans and those who made the manga...
