HELLO FRIENDS!

Long time no see, eh?



By the way, if anyone is interested in acquiring shounen-ai (images, pictures for their archives on their computers) merely PM me and I'll be glad to send what I've got. Which is a lot.

I already sent a email, I already read ch. 1 of Eerie Queerie, considered possible to buy it

Lord O. !
Welcome back ^^

Welleh, what have you got? ^^

I'll wait befor I buy Eerie Queerie - I'll finish gravitation first - for as far as possible. I'll be spending quite some money on the animecon too, I'm afraid. Well not afraid. Buying doujins is cool

@Dragons: that's cool- i like guys who admit they like shounen-ai

@Kihaku : Yeah, I read about that edit >_< Stoopid VIZ Editing manga should be forbidden

*no structure in post*

yeah, the editing manga should be forbidden and should leave it sacred

For you Love Mode Fans, there is a special chapter called Dog&Cat. It is hilarious, if anyone wants it tell me. The storyline is that God(you'll just laugh when you figure out who it is) changed a dog and a cat (Izumi and Nayoa) into human forms who gets saved by you know who. Cute story

Oh and I have random later chapters: vol 9.1, 9.3, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 11.5 which is the last chapter. For you Jin fans, you have to get volume 10. It tells all about the purple eyed prince. Just tell me if you want them and I'll e-mail them.

What's Eerie Queerie about?

it's about the boy whose spirits of two women enter his body, thus developing love for girls... and boys!!

Eerie Queerie on tokyopop site

see? and Dark Water. is that L'Arc en ciel?

*way too lazy to read everything* I've noticed something. In just about evey anime/manga (of the one's I know about), you can find a yaoi pair. Even if a few of them are strange. *shrugs* Just a thought.

Eerie Queerie (Ghost!) is very cute and hilarious... the ending was a little disappointing for me..but overrall the maga was great (waaay to short though).

Special chapter for Love Mode? From which manga is it?
Ooh.. *jumps up an down* Love Mode has been licensed in Germany.. Lucky me! (I'm liking German more too now).. I wonder if that version is any good?

yeah.. pretty much in any manga one can find yaoi couples.. although there are exceptions.. Must be the way how are minds think.. or how the mangakas portray them and hint such and such.. or something .

Oh, and has anyone read Haru wo Daiteita? Waah.. it's so cute.. I'm beginning to like it more than Love Mode (is that even possible?). Anyhow.. the subtitled OVAs based on this series should be released to be downloaded too.. I can't wait..

what is Haru wo Daiteta?

Does anyone know of a good place to get shonen-ai/yaoi manga online? I can't believe I live near tons of japanese bookstores but i can't find one that has a good stock of shonen-ai/yaoi.

L' arc en ciel basically is french for the rainbow, but it's also a Japanese band. Was, I mean. Ready Steady Go is one of their songs. (Why did you ask me, actually? Did I mention them somewhere?)

I checked boxtorrenst, no results for Haru wo Daiteita so far...

I don't know, thieves. Let's see... http://www.yaoipress.com/
Ooh, list thingy on amazon
And some stuff on ebay

Has anyone gotten Be Beautiful's release of Viewfinder by Ayano Yamane? I heard that it was supposed to be out by now...but no news.

I am back! Or more accuratly, my computer is back^^. I was scanning through everything I missed on this fourm, and seeing how long I was away, everything seems to be moving very slowly. I've missed you guys!

for all those who love Takuto and Koji from "Zetsuai"..... this might be the right thing.......:

http://www.zetsuai.at/zetsuai/e_zetsuai_.htm

^^weeeeeee...............nice to see you, Vin and Jaga

It's a Yaoi manga by Youka Nitta. It's about two AV actors who star in a series "Haru wo Daiteita" and end up having feelings for each other.. The rest of the series is about their relationship etc. (but mostly the relationship). It's really beautiful in terms of relationship and art. Hoochuami has been scanlating it (if I remember right) and it's licensed by BeBeautiful (I think). + the first oVA should be available online..



yeah.. I wonder... I think it was supposed to be out ages ago, but BB has been pushing back their releases.

Hi Jaganshi! Nice to see you too!

Waah.. got to proceed with reading Zetsuai.. I never got into it...

Yep the anime for Haru wo Daiteita is available... three episodes are available on aarinfantasy I believe, I only downloaded the first ep, so I'm not sure. It's pretty sexy though *drools*

I really can't keep up with everything I should be reading/watching ^^

Hi there, Jaganshi! ^^

Woooo-yea. Love Mode is licensed. November, guys, just wait till november.


http://www.tokyopop.com/dbpage.php?page=pr...&productid=3372

w00t! and w00t! Yay for Tokyopop !

Edit, the link worked fine yesterday, and now I can't find anything about love mode on the tokyopop site anymore Strange... I wanted to tel some friends about it >_<

I am the new convertee... we kinda, I am just kinda more open, but never really opposed it. I just found this pic of my sig and was converted instantly XD I am not into yaoi or anything though O.o

~Hits Slash with a paper fan~ Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, um...mostly straight people x straight people lover, so I'll just be going...Have fun Slash (and make sure to tell us all when you come out of the closet )

All are welcome. Feel free to explore.

Are you male or female Slash?

I just watched this OVA and I must say that it was pretty good! It's very sexy Darkwater!

Welcome Slash! I never thought you would be into this!

Male O.o


Don't worry, I am still straight ^^ You don't have to worry about me Edsgirl *Cafe, if you read this, it was my evil twin, Freduardo who posted this*

What is there to worry about? Your interest is a positive thing. And what exactly are you interested in?

However, I must say that without our King and Queen, it has been hard keeping up. Now I actually have to search for the information I need, I can't just post and ask here anymore.

I haven't become a hardcore fan yet exactly. I am have just seen a few pics that I have liked, both recently and over time. I may get more into it as time progresses. I should start tomorrow when I have more freetime.

My beloved thread, I missed you and all the nice people who've made you into what you've become today - bleh!

My Queen has disappeared?? No way! Kihaku~ (Gotta check LJ more often)

@Thieves: I've been rushing through the pages, but I thought you were the one who asked for an online store which sells s-ai manga? If it was you, Amazon.com's the place to be. Fast, reliable and they've got quite the stock. Only The Ring Finger Knows, Desire, Legal Drug, Eerie Queerie, Petshop of Horrors, Love Mode, if I'm not mistaken, Yami no Matsuei, Gravitation, FAKE. And so on, so on. Even Under the Glass Moon, even though there's barely a hint of shonen-ai. -__- Even less than YnM, really. Ah well.

@Slash: You've been 'converted'! Lovely sig too. You into Getbackers then?

@DW&Otoki Tomoe: Meeting you two in real life would be great! And I'm a pretty shy person myself, but after I've spend some time with a person the awkwardness will gradually slink to oblivion.

@Dragons04&Kit&Jen_Elric: Hi~ Glad you all decided to join.

I haven't formally watched it yet (as in not yet), but I am DLing subs now, Kas (btw, nice to see you back ^^). I am a nOOB shonen-ai fan, so if anyone has any good sites it would be much appreciated.

And it's nice to be back. And I swear I'm not gonna disappear for months on end again. At least, not when I can help it.

Well, that actually makes two of us. I hadn't been able to download the subs when I got interested - ages ago, it seems - because it had already been licensed. I heard it's a fun series though.

Links to sites... ^^;; It's already past 2:30 here, so I'll see what I can do about those links in the morning. Either way, it's great to see you also appreciate this side of the field, Slash!

^^ thanks, Kase. I was searching a little while ago, but alas, I am not very good at searching for things. I am getting my subs from bittorrents. It is all in one file though, so I have to use bitcomet or something to seperate the episodes. Hopefully I can have my new sig up tomorrow, and yes it is shonen-ai related

I posted quite a few links a number of pages back...don't remember which. But Darkwater should have all them them, if not more. Sakura Crisis is always a good start.

I like Legal Drug and Gravitation. Great series. I'm a Royx someone I'd rather not mention because it's a strange couple fan.

Yeah Gravi is what I usually use to lure my friends into the world of Shounen-Ai But other good starters are Eerie Queerie and Fake. And currently I'm watching Sukyiso, it's a pretty good one!

Hmm, I'm still searching my butt off for a manga called Sequence. Anyone heard of it? Shoujo with a good many hints of shonen-ai~? (Can't escape the s-ai nowadays) Vampire themes~? Too hot to write a complete summary~ It got licensed a good while back, but I still managed to snatch the first few volumes/chapters from Aku-Tenshi. *___* God bless their souls.

Petshop of Horrors and Yami no Matsuei are also good manga to ease a person into things, I think.

No worries . I'm still here now and then . Just not so often.. Wow Kase is here too! Yay! My king is back!




Ooh.. I noticed that too! Just when I had to get the German version *hits head*. Oh well.. I really love volume 1 so I couldn't wait until November.. Then two more great titles will be coming out... I like the fact that Tokyopop has their "own" name for yaoi/shonen ai titles now...


OOOOOOh!!!!! I never expected to see you here Slash! I just love that pic on your sig! Actually that was the first thing I saw and was well.. "Wait a minute".... That pic is also somewhere on my comp.. it's adorable! It's interesting how offical art can make you think differently.... How far are you into GB???? I'm also currently watching it (just about 30 eps..). It's one of the fe shonen series that actually has a canon yaoi/shonen-ai pairing... and I'm not talking about Ban and Ginji even though that's pretty hinted...
Well.. straight guys probably wouldn't be so into yaoi, but liking "tamer stuff" is good too
OOoh... now you can watch Prince of Tennis, right? *uses hypnotic gaze*

I adore Legal/Lawful/Gouhou/whatever Drug too! It's definitely one of CLAMP's most hinted shoujo manga... In fact it's probably more than that....
My brother read half way and stopped when he realised what it was about...

Sequence??? Never heard of it... have to check that out too...
Yes... one can like YnM even not being a shonen-ai fan.. (at least until vol 4 )
I've read PoH vol1 (and waiting to read the rest).. and nothing has been very hinted yet.. but it's very interesting anyways...

lol, I am DLing GB as a group file, so I have to wait for all of it to DL to watch the series. I don't know if I would like PoT, but I might try it if I have time this summer (how come girls/guys can like shonen-ai/yaoi more openly than people liking yuri and whatever the girl equivelent of shonen-ai is?) anyway, I watched the first ep of DNAngel but couldn't get myself to watch more eps. It was just so girly I would rather have an anime or manga that has shonen-ai but with some action or some kinda plot like that involves fighting (FMA shonene-ai series anyone?)

My Queen!! Reunited at last~

Muwaha, your brother still hasn't realized that most if not all shoujo manga (or shoujo groups like CLAMP) feature at least one homosexual couple/person?

Petshop of Horrors definitely won't disappoint you, Kihaku. The hints'll show eventually! ...I would've still read it though, even if there hadn't been any mention of s-ai hints. The characters, genres and the story are just awesome... even the style has grown on me. ^^;; I didn't like the style that much at first.

Sequence linkie complete with summary (don't know if the links still work though~): http://www.aku-tenshi.com/manga/sequence.php

*_____* Love, must have.

OH and Thief & Detective is also a short, sweet shonen-ai tale for anyone wanting a light read. Can also be found on Aku Tenshi's site.


@Slash: Hmmm, action-packed shonen-ai series? There's always Mirage of Blaze, although some might show some complaints about the animation and character designs. I don't see any problem with them, but that's just me.

Click here for ANN's summary.

(A bit of shonen-ai trivia: the VAs of the two main leads of Mirage - who'll eventually fall madly in love with each other - have also played Kenshin and Sanosuke (sp? %D) from Rurouni Kenshin. Sweet)

Um, what else...? Kyou Kara Maou? ;; Kihaku might be a better judge of this particular title...

Then there's also FAKE and Tokyo Revelation, although I've never actually seen the latter. It always gets recommended on oher shonen-ai sites though.

Linkie to Amazon.com and the customer's reviews.

Other series? Angel Sanctuary (shonen-ai's more obvious in the manga) and Earthian? ;; Wouldn't know if either was too girly or not.

Top rec's still Ai no Kusabi~~ If you're able to find it that is.

Slash:
You changed the sig! (I still prefered the Ban/Ginji one XD)
Okay then... will be waiting for you to see the first eps of GB .
Ooh and like I mentioned before PoT is a really great series otherwise! My brother is totally addicted to it and he's a great fan of action series... Also he rarely watches any anime..
FMA shonen-ai... I don't know what's with me, but I don't see it. (well, yes some hints, but nothing so great that it would cause a great fandom...)
D.N.Angel is pretty girly... but it does have some action too..
Hmmm.... Yeah, I'd more likely recommend those shonen series with lots of hints...

Yeah, I watched Mirage of Blaze.. It reminds me a lot of X... especially the designs. Hmm.. it's prob one of the few action filled shonen-ai series. I was only disappointed with the fact that it covers just around 8? volumes of the manga which spans 30 volumes... The relationship! *cries* I want to find out more about it!
The VAs played Kenshin and Sanosuke? You sure, Kase? But Kenshin's VA was female..

Oh, KKM Naturally.. A hilarious, fantasy, action series... Not really much shonen-ai.. besides the fact that two guys are engaged.. It's basically something anyone can enjoy.

Heh, Ai no Kusabi is yaoi You probably wouldn't like that much, Slash..
I know that Kase has to recommend it though.

Kase:
Oh, yeah my brother doesn't like shoujo (but he did watch Magic Knight Rayearth on TV)... I guess Legal Drug has a great camouflage . Apparently he thought it wa going to be about drugs...

Yeah a great deal of shoujo manga has those pairings/people... I wonder though.. MKR... I mean that's one which hasn't really got anything obvious ...

And what comes to mind, cause we were discussing this too.. a great deal of shonen series have feminine characters, and males mistaken for females...
Which has to mean something.

Yeah, I'm eager to read more of PoH... It's apparently quite popular. My friend has six volumes of it and they're all somewhere... Yes, the style is a little different, but doesn't bother me at all.

Thanks for the links!

;; Sorry for the confusion, I meant the English voice actors of the Kenshin series. Love those guys - and the outtakes. X3 I laugh myself silly I watch them. I can always count on them to put a smile on my face.

Aaaah, forgot. Ai no Kusabi might be a bit much for an early convertee. ^^;;;

XD Your brother actually read Legal Drug? How far, pray tell, did he get??

Hmm, you're right. Magic Knight doesn't have much going for them in the shonen-ai department? (Never seen or read this one) How disappointing... Guess the boys are nothing but eyecandy then. Not bad in itself, of course.

Feminine boys, oh yes. Naruto immediately comes to mind. That and Hunter x Hunter/Yu Yu Hakusho. Kurama an Kurapika. Of course, both titles came from the same mangaka.

Oh, I entirely forgot to mention Gestalt! You heard of it? It's about this sorceror who gets turned into a girl, who eventually falls in love with a priest... short version. The OAV's available for download on BitTorrent, but the manga hasn't been scanlated as of yet.

Anyway, don't mention it. I luv my links.

:3 I read the first volume of Sequence and it was pretty good. I think Kanata looks better than the vampire dude though.

Kurama isn't feminine ... He is just very fashionable ^^

I tried looking for Legal Drug but can't seem to find it any where Damn licensing...

@Kihaku: :3 Yeah, I might change it back after I am done watching Getbackers ^^

Thanks for the info Omakase. You really like Thief&Detective don't you? As far as I remember it was too light and sweet for me. I passed it onto a friend of mine who goes for this kinda genre and she loved it.

Has anyone read Count Cain? How's the story and how explicit does it get? I heard that it was gorey, but I'm assuming it's good since it by Kaori Yuki<---goddess. I love her depressing, angsty works.

Wee, I came back to the monster thread!

Ok, so I watched some of the suggestions posted here and here’s what I thought (don’t worry, no spoilers).

Gravitation: Too cute! I thought the story was really sweet. I immediately fell in love with Shuichi. He’s one of those characters that I just want to grab and hug. Also, um, is it just me or is Ryuichi retarded? He’s so random. O_o He’s a cutie too though. I’d hug him too.

Yami no Matsuei: I could have easily watched more episodes. I thought it felt sorta rushed and I found myself wanting more storyline. I went looking for the manga recently, but I haven’t been able to find a decent scanlation yet (the one I found was in French, which I can’t read anymore!).

Omakase: I’m sure I’ve told you before, but I friggin LOVE your avatar. I showed my sweetheart and he laughed and said, “But Ed’s not American. Therefore, he’s not really jailbait.” XD

… aaaaaaand I’m STILL downloading Sukisyo. Stupid slow downloads. I'll catch up eventually. O_o

@Slash: I'm glad to hear you liked Sequence. I love the humor and drawings. The available chapters weren't enough to really get me into the... plotline, though.



Like most anime guys, huh?

Legal Drug should be available at most online shops though... You tried TokyoPop too? Or are you referring to scanlations? ;;


@T: I do like it, even though genres along that line aren't really my thing either. I don't know what makes Thief & Detective stand out though... (No, it doesn't have anything to do with shonen-ai )

About Count Cain. I guess I've got no other way to put it other than a true Kaori Yuki work. And explicitness? I guess you could say that, considering people get ripped apart by dogs among other things. ^^;;; In my eyes, it can be compared to Yami no Matsuei - the manga version. When it comes to explicit detail in any case.


@Tomoe: It's good to hear from you again~ And well... Ed's... tell your boyfriend he's too smart to notice such details. Thanks for the comment though~ ^-^

About the YnM scanlations, I guess since it's been licensed for quite some time it'll be pretty hard to find any scanlations right now. ^^;;

lol, Yeah, I don't have any credit cards or anything to buy online mangas and the book stores around me all suck.

-I watched the first episode of GB last night. It was pretty good. I am going to watch more today.
-I also had a tough time finding Mirage of Blaze. Is that an anime or manga?
-Is it odd to ask for ecchi manga?

Aaah, of course. I'll PM you about Legal Drug after this post.

Mirage of Blaze first started out as a series of novels - no manga, unfortunately - Kuwabara Mizuna. The anime series (13 episodes, which has more s-ai action =P) and a 3-part OAV have already been translated and released on DVD in the States. I was talking about the anime.

-Is it odd to ask for ecchi manga

Not as far as I'm concerned.

Kase:
Oh the English voices... Ah they are very clever then and it definitely has to mean something.

My brother read 100 pages of Legal Drug... I'm a little surprised that he got that far.. but watching so much Prince of Tennis must have apparently taught him to block out various hints.

Hmm... the MKR manga has more hints sort of... Because the anime chooses to make a certain couple canon (and it wasn't so in the manga).. *growls a little*

Yes, Naruto definitely And not just Haku, but since he's the prettiest character in the series...
And yeah Yu Yu Hakusho . I haven't seen much of this.. but I do like Kurama
Hmm.. Lyserg from Shaman King (I think he looks like a guy, but he was mistaken for a girl so it counts)
Kazuki from Get Backers
Quite a few from Prince of Tennis... eg. Fuji (eventually my brother decided that he's an androgyn)
Shigeru from Yakitate!! Japan
Amelda from Yu-gi-oh!


Ooh... have to check Gestalt... and I like German names and all that...
Oh that reminds me of Weiss Kreuz... It has action and angst and pairing possibilities.. but much less hints than I expected..

Otoki Tomoe:

Yeah, the Yami no Matsuei manga goes a lot deeper and continues further (and isn't finished yet, darn it).. I really loved the anime though.. Especially the ending.. *sighs happily*
I have still some scans up to vol 5 on my comp.... I could send them to you???
Ooh... Sukisyo... I have just the last to eps to watch.. Have to see them soon...

other random:

ooh, glad that you liked the first ep of GB, Slash! It gets muuch bter later on though...

But I thought there's also the manga series for MoB??? Yeah I'd heard about the novels too...

Definitely! I always knew Sanosuke and Kenshin had something foing for them despite Kenshin marrying Kaoru.

Wow. Either your Brother's very naive or he [secretly] doesn't really object to homosexual relationships. =P

Aaah, just like YnM, huh? The relationship/feelings between Hisoka and Tsuzuki seem more visible/obvious in the anime series - at least to me. Or maybe that's just because I haven't been able to read the manga any further than vol.05 -___-

I think Naruto figures into things as well, because of his Sexy no Jutsu technique. Really... Oh, does Kenshin count? I admit, I thought he was a woman at first, since he reminded me of a Japanese Calamity Jane case. Also, can't forget about Kei from Pretear. Even though it was a shoujo...

Need any Gestalt links?

Reviews:
- THEM Anime
- AAW
(Some might contain spoilers... well, not real spoilers that give away the entire background/manga story, because the anime barely touches upon that aspect, but still...)

Gestalt Sites:
- Smashed Ice
(Watch them spoilers... Lovely image gallery!!)

"Why I Think Gestalt's Yaoi-ish..." (from LJ)
- Gestalt, Yaoi????
(Not a recommended if you haven't already seen the anime, though I thought it was fun as an afterthought X3)

OK, that's really it.

;; Sorry. I made it seem like something big, didn't I? Well, my imagination always runs wild and I'm more than capable to connect non-existent dots which ultimately form innuendos in my mind. Scary thought, eh? But then, most innuendos lay hidden in various Drama CDs too.

Gluhen's more innuendo-ish in my mind though. And the manga, Weiss Side B, definitely.

MoB's also got manga? ^^;; My bad. I haven't been able to find any info about those, though... Such a shame. Has it already been translated or scanlated?

Definately kei from Pretear! I just didn't want to belive he was a dude! I can't even name all the guys in Naruto that look like chicks. Half the guys look better than the girls.

If you had trouble believing Kei was a man, I can't wait to hear your reaction about this little fellow (if you hadn't heard of him before, that is):
