There's nothing inherently bad in women creating and reading Yaoi.

I agree with Itou-san. It's the only manga with prostitution theme that makes me truly believe in romantic development between two main characters. They're both messed up by life, kind of broken and it doesn't seem strange for them to find solace in each other.

Personally I love both Asian BL novels and (mostly) American MM books (erotica and more subtle ones). Do you have your favorities or any recommendations? Do you prefer Asian or American/European works? ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
My fav uke: - Nanao from Warui series - sexy and beautiful, but not girly-looking. At first seems a little bit too seductive, but actually he's sensitive and lonely, suffering from unrequited love... - Taki from Yellow - I guess I have a thing for cool, tough and independent type ;) - Feng Ming from Feng Yu Jiu Tian - he's intelligent, strong-willed and also has the guts, I love him
My fav seme: - Asami from Finder - possessive, dominant and slightly sadistic type. And he's incredibly hot of course ;) - Rong Wang from Feng Yu Jin Tian - Is he just a cruel and ruthless sadist? Or maybe...? Really fascinating character... (and frankly I love long-haired seme) - Shinonome from Warui series - I just love delinquent characters, seme or uke - it doesn't matter ;)
