I know what you mean. when I started reading manga I didn't understand the genres. it didn't take long to settle into yaoi, but I didn't know what to read. so I either took the recommendation they gave or read everything by same writer. some that are lower rated or older have been some of my favorite.the thing I don't like is when its terrible art and story.so long as one is good ill plod thru. but yeah.even a nice build up is good. now its gotta be in first chapters and explicit. there really is something to a really great story. the one tag that I learned to run from in a hurry is tragedy. I binge read a yaoi for hours and then realized what tragedy meant in yaoi. cried my eyes out. I do appreciate smut once in a while but now I have trouble finding something new to read because it feels like ive read everything else. also checking when last update was. learned that really quick! ;))
i didnt say that to you i replied to another person that i thought was being rudedisrespectfull i'm sory if i seemed rude i have npthing against your opinion infact even though i like yuri and hetero mangas (as long as the story is good) i also love yaoi i just thought the way you phrased it was wrong
I know yaoi is meant to be a Boy x Boy thing, and that should be the focus of the story. But I've heard a lot of people complain when a character also has a thing for girls, or when there's a sex scene with a girl. I actually enjoy them and its kind of sad only a few yaoi mangas explore bisexuality, without the "i used to be straight but now im gay" thing.
