Illyria's manga / #Gin x Ei(3)

I love this couple but that was far too short.

I love this one, I've re-read it twice already. I find Ei so frustrating and yet so very loveable, he's so dedicated to Gin. I can't help but see the irony in the subject though, how Japanese attitudes toward homosexuality remain so negative is beyond me. Yaoi was my introduction to gay romance and frankly, porn, and it's a popular genre yet while in other Western cultures this would make people more open to accepting homosexuality it doesn't seem to have the same effect on Japanese attitudes. It's ironic that a fictional genre about gay boys/men would be so popular and yet real homosexuals are still seen in a negative light.

I love it when authors write a role swap, I can totally see how a role swap would be an amazing bonding experience for both guys. I've always been jealous of people who can do a role reverse in this way.
