QUESTION.

my first was
junjou romantica (Anime)
then, move forward to Okane Ga Nai & Rutta to Kodama (Manga)
...Ja Nai Kedo series (Drama CD)
white day kiss (Yaoi song)

socked indeed, but I can't get that out from my head.
Yaoi is life. fufufufu

' pretty sure that the first time I came across BL themes was in Ouran HS Host Club (lol) which then developed into Sekai Hatsukoi eventually. Though 3 years of reading yaoi is really hard to track, so who knows what really happened xD

i was looking for some manga with a good review that time when i stumbled upon http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/sojou_no_koi_wa_nido_haneru/
that was my very first yaoi. It was a little heavy for my first so i did not read any yaoi after that for a while. But boredom killed me so i decided to read something exciting and found my yashiroxdoumeki in saezuru. from then on, i can't live without yaoi.

hmmm. i think it was konbini-kun. i wasn't shocked at all. i don't know, i think i've always thought that these things have always been around. i felt pretty weird when i told some people about it and they didn't have positive responses

My first yaoi was Boys Next Door from Kaori Yuki. I was addicted to her works that were being translated by Sakura-Crisis, so that and Kaine (which is shounen-aish) were my first. I thought it was very mind opening, because it was a great police story and also a very different romance and I had never read a manga like that. I don't think it is as good nowadays, but I keep it in mind.

Then, next came in Midare Someinishi and all Prince of Tennis djs I could get my hands in. It escalated pretty quickly from there ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I was probably the first between my friends to fully embrace the fujoshi persona.

Well, my first contact with yaoi was by watching Junjou Romantica, the anime. My reaction....surrpised, I was like ''huh, this is a thing in Japan? Yaoi?'' then I was just like ''This is fuckin' awesome!!!!'' I don't remember what yaoi I first read...either it was Junjou Romantica or Viewfinder....no shounen ai for me, I went straight for the sex scenes, LOL. And I haven't looked back since, eight years and counting. :)

I watched yaoi anime before reading it was called Level C, it was my portal to yaoi ( was recommended by some anime channel list, it was some girl's favourite )

I came across yaoi accidently and I can't remember what my first yaoi many a was (basically a typical shoujo fan)

i just noticed that most people here are from the late 2000s era and later. nobody from the early 2000s at all? ah-ah, i feel old haha.

the reaction from the first yaoi manga i read felt like my whole body got doused by cold water

Well i always was addicted to anime. actually it all started because of my mom, she always liked to see cartoons and gave me the education to sit in front of the tv to watch it too and I liked it a lot, I had a bag with Pikachu form (Pokemon was my first favorite anime). Years and years later my life was completely full with anime but I didn't liked mangas because I liked to see the action, and one day when I was in Facebook in one of the anime pages that I follow (Anime Tenshi) I saw a picture full with good looking guys that I haven't ever seen and then I though (yay new amines "shoujo or ecchi" for me to watch) I decided to search for them in order of beauty and the first that I choose for my luck, was "Usami Akihiko"...yup! At first I felt a little bit reluctant because it was a manga (I didn't liked manga) but then I read the plot and saw that it was a weird story and that was enough to pick up my interest because I am weird. the first scene that surprised me (a bit but not enough to make give up on the story) was when Usami kissed Misaki and then I thought "wow a guy kissing another guy... interesting ( in a pervert way)(⌒-⌒; )" and then my life as a fujoshi had started and here I am craving for more and more!!!

Let's feel old together. I'm a fan from early 2000s. Actually, I just downloaded Sakura-crisis version of my first yaoi again, and saw the release was from 2003 (≧∀≦) So... I've been reading yaoi for what... 13 years?

I felt bad when I read boys next door because the story itself is a bit depressing. But midare someinishi... I just didn't like it, it made me feel sick. I thought it was really abnormal for the story to be that sad and couldn't find romance in it, like, nowhere. That's why, up to this date, I always recommend fluff to people who want to get into yaoi and probably why I can't forgive unnecessary rape trope (or it's a personal thing, dunno).

Either way, of course some things are pretty shocking for a newcomer. I'd never hand a Harada manga to a girl who has barely read a horror story, even more a gay horror story. But in the end, I think we're all in for the love. (and smex) (●'◡'●)

My first was junjou romantica (anime) and I was like " what the hell can they have sex?" That was my first reaction and my endless long journey of yaoi started.

I saw sekai hatsukoi and then watched all the yaoi anime I could find on the interwebs. I loved it, so I moved to manga. I love all kinds from fluffy to f*cked up stuff. I had always watched anime and read manga casually, but I read so much yaoi after I discovered its amazingness. I legit own two gay finches because they are preciouprecious birdies.

Actually the first time i read yaoi is from fanfiction..i was searching for my bias ( i am a kpop fan) picture and stumbled upon a fanfiction site and found the story of my bias having sex (both are guys). At first i don't understand things like fingering, entrance (butt entrance), and penetration..i totally had no idea because i never read or watched porn before (even hetero porn) eventhough at that time i was 18 yo..but i was so curious so i keep reading the fanfic and finally understood it was gay sex. At first i was scared ( i was even scared of hetero sex because i have no idea about the process of having sex, so reading it was kinda foreign to me) but then i got addicted and then i stumbled upon to yaoi stories in this site and myreadingmanga..And now i fall even more into the depth of yaoi world, i wonder if i can escape..i think i will never be able to escape..Yaoi is too addictive..sorry if this reply is too long~ (●'◡'●)ﾉ

I'm so happy all of you shared your experience I've been a fujsihi. For over 6-7 years now and the first time I saw one was when my sister was reading , I basically had to doublechek if what my eyes saw was true.. I was really shocked and asked myself how could my sister read such things.. I was not interested in manga at all there was for example the continuation of peach girl and I refused to tread it because it was manga, but then I started too.. And I became as I am now, addicted to them.. And when I'm in class I start showing my fujoshi- self pairing boys with boys.. I even know that in my school there are a lot of fujoshi me and I'm really happy about it!
