Well, I’m glad she’s dead, though.

I know!  Prince has to be with Kazuhi!  There’s no need for female characters.

A friend and I were looking at Hotaru Odagiri’s story in Asuka a while ago and we had a conversation similar to the one above from Fujoshi Rumi.

“Aw, there’s a girl in it.”

“Maybe she’ll die.”

“Yeah.”

Male friend:  ”You guys are mean.”

I was half kidding, but that just means the other half of me was serious.

This is a genre, that I have been trying to show my friends – the appeal that there is. So far it is not working, and I can only see in their minds, that they’re probably indulging me, while I mention it. Hehe.. thinking about Gourry in an Octopus suit for this one.

Muscle yaoi – can be called bara, but that is a name not really recognized in Japan. Bara I imagine, is an American term. Actually the bara I like is targeted for homosexual men. I recall hearing in NYAF, that fans of any type of manga, would only stay in the group, their peers are for. Like how shoujo fans are only reads shoujo themed works, or how bl fans, will not cross over into enjoying yuri works.

These are two external links, that I find very useful in defining what bara is. Take a look here and here.

The first time I realized I was attracted to bara was when I read Tsukasa Matsuzaki’s works.

Still another thought crossed my mind… I really like Kenpachi from Bleach, Umibozu from City Hunter, and Jet from Cowboy Bebop for physique reason.

My friends and I have joked around about this.  I can’t realistically think of any way to make such a game work, but I’m not creative nor am I a game designer, so who knows.  One of the ridiculous ideas we came up with was a Pokémon-like game.  Instead of monsters, you get guys that could only look the way they do in fantasies and you pit them against each other in sexual dominance matches instead of fighting matches.  Get your…umm…bishiemon to be the number one seme in all of Rothazer!  Dress him up in kinky leather straps or emo goth stuff or whatever your fetish is!  Feed him meals and potions to make him big and strong!

There is of course, the Ai no Kusabi-like total ignorance of human rights, which would turn off most normal people.  If that didn’t do it, then the lack of any actual romance or pairing would.

Still.. need to say something for my first post.. well this is Linda aka miz aka animemiz…aka anime_miz.. (all my online handles)…. I am going to strive to write something relevant, something interesting.. something that is not porn… although I don’t know what to say about the *cough* *cough* scenes with couples.

I devour all types of yaoi/bl.. as long as the plot matches my idea of taste, and I don’t find it hard to comprehend. I started to think about bl with Yu Yu Hakusho’s Hiei and Kurama. Then jumped into a lot of other fan pairings, until my legit bl couple…. I think it’s Ryo and Dee. Although I haven’t even finished reading the manga of Fake yet. I guess I like to jump around a lot with stuff. I have a mental goal of reading thru’s Jilly;’s fabulous collection, all the while develop my own collection.

Jilly and I are two different people, with two, sometimes very different objectives. I will try to post as much as I can, but with real life.. and my writer slumps – will not post much for a while.

Things I plan to post though, are feed related Yaoi news – if I catch up with my G-reader, which that would be the day, start a feature about BL couples I am enamored with and among other things chiefly BL, that will catch my eye. So stay tune.. long rant.. happy Jilly? This reminds me a bit of our defunct pita group blog… but yay for hot man doing it with equally hot man goodies!!!!
