Not sure, but it's probably because of the really unique storylines compared to the typical Japanese yaoi mangas. Well, that's what it is for me, at least. These webcomics lately are really hitting the whole interesting aspect nowadays.
No overused cliches. Deep characters. I mean look at Killing, Stalking. Like holy hell.
The easiest way to find out is just *READ*

A lot of people haven't seen them before so they think it's cool and exciting. Really nothing new though.
Maybe because they try to build up plot. Most of the newer Japanese yaoi I see in the website now are pretty short or just one-shots, both mostly with simplistic plots.
Because people started translating them and putting them on here. And it's like a new breeze for most of you so they get popular
Maybe because they are so easy to read on your smartphone, iphone ....I've never read them until I bought myself a decent phone.
I find webcomics incredibly refreshing. I've read a bunch of Japanese manga and find a lot of them very cliché and forgettable. Although there are plenty of unique and beautiful manga, they are hard to find. Of course this is partially due to the large amount of translated manga vs the smaller amount of translated webcomics. Right now, webcomics seem "better" because only the interesting ones have been picked up and translated. I'm sure there are plenty of cliché and horribly written webcomics. They just haven't been translated.
Thank you but i've been reading a lot recently and blood bank is my favorite, but still, i think manga is way better, i think it's in the wy their drawings are expressing a lot of emotions and are really unique, for me, it's the artistic touch that make the story really beautifull and enjoyable.
