First? Wow this takes me back
I knew anime existed but I didn't know yaoi was a thing when I was younger. I found it from porn sites originally and would constantly watch it, on the hunt to find more. I was amazed by it and since during my childhood I had severe depression, yaoi/bl was my light in the dark, it's weird and doesn't make sense I know. I do have to say the first one I found was a scene was i'm pretty from Junjou Romantica and i just needed more so I just kept looking till I found out about yaoi. Till this day I love BL/Yoai, I get it's not realistic but I feel happier and more comfortable reading/watching men be in love.

My first yaoi (anime) is sekaiichi hatsukoi or junjo romantic. For me it’s was refreshing to see new things, news plots completely different from shojo so I wanted to see more but there weren’t many so I have been searching on internet but In French there were a few so I had to learn English seriously to be able to read yaoi lol
