Favorite Pairings (and what series the pairing is from) Shuichi x Yuki, Naru/Sasu ;) (not /strictly/ canon I know)

Quote by darkheart510i got interested because you mentioned it, i watched Zetsuai. and i have to say...man, that's a lot of angst. and the ending was...so open-ended. i haven't watched bronze yet, but i read a review on it and wow, still lotsa angst. it was pretty interesting though. did you read the manga too?

Yes ^^ I read both the Zetsuai and the Bronze Mangas and if you liked the Zetsuai anime I really recommend you read the mangas as well, because those are far better than the anime. I especially like Bronze though I didn't watch the anime yet... yes, it's a lot of angst, but during the Mangas there are a lot of cute and funny situations ^_^

Quote by darkheart510
And i've heard a lot of good things about Kizuna, but i haven't read it yet. did you read the manga or watch the ova's? which would you recommend actually?


I read the manga up to volume 10 so far and they get better each time. Concerning the anime I just watched a trailer... Some people say the anime is not worth buying but in my opinion the scenes that I saw there were okay, though the anime might lack the depth of the manag story... well, I think it's a question of preference. ^^ so... to get to your question. In general I think it's better to read the manga first...

A-hoi hoi to swen and sweetandrogny and kiyomi and yoshe and anyone else i missed. join in da party, yo! *hangs head in shame* gosh, i'm such an idiot. ;)

Quote by lura-sharalsome of my favourites would be Embracing Love ^.^, FAKE, Finder Series, Zetsuai/Bronze (it's old but sooo wonderful), Ai no Kusabi, Kiss me Teacher and Kizuna.

And i've heard a lot of good things about Kizuna, but i haven't read it yet. did you read the manga or watch the ova's? which would you recommend actually?

I read somewhere that princess princess has practically no elements of shounen-ai because the magazine featuring it asked Mikiyo Tsuda not to. is that true? none of the boys fall in love with each other? ever? i'm watching it, but i haven't gotten very far. And the idea disappoints me because her shounen-ai works are a lot of fun.

i just realized how rude it was to talk about statistics when i didn't even give any about myself. I'm heterosexual female with bi-curious leanings (bad for my bf?) my favorite kind of story pairing is probably sempai/kouhai or sensei/student with the student/kouhai as the seme. meaning if i'm reading a summary i'm attracted to status differences, but i always like individual pairs better when the couple is of equal status. and no blood or heavy bondage. i'm of the faint hearted group.

And hey, to all the loveless fans out there, have you read the manga too? is it good compared to the anime?

@SweetAndrogyny and Swen: hi and welcome to the yaoi group ^.^

Hello! ^_^ I'd like to join, if that's okay.

Name: James
Age: 16
Favourite Series: Loveless, Sukisho, & Kyo Kara Maoh. (How could I possibly choose just one?)
Favourite Pair: Soubi&Ritsuka or Semei&Ritsuka. (Loveless)

Quote by darkheart510
Zaou Taishi is the only mangaka i listed with licensed work in the US(as far as i know), which is "The day of revolution" and "Princess Princess." She draws under another name, which is Tsuda Mikiyo. She's not really explicit but her storylines are hilarious.

aahh, yes, I know Mikiyo Tsuda.
I didn't know she was publishing under a pseudonym, though. I just read Princess Princess volume one a few days ago. It's great ^.^ it's really a pity that she's not a little bit more explicit.

Quote by darkheart510
Prince of Tennis is a 178 episode anime about the various unbelievable ways to smack a tennis ball around. I wasn't interested in the beginning, but they grew on me and now...i'm a fangirl. I recommend it as something fun to watch if you have tons of time and no other anime lined up.

I already realized there are a lot of Prince of Tennis fans. But I never bothered. Actually I don't like those hypes. It was the same with me when Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings appreared. I just hated all that great fuss about it and didn't watch the films and read the book until everyone calmed down a bit. Well but now I'm fan as well. Maybe Prince of Tennis is worth a look, too. ^____^

Quote by darkheart510
So which mangakas do you (lura and everyone else, of course) like? i'm always wondering about the statistics of the yaoi fandom. i've heard that it's mostly girls, but then i wonder...hetero/lesbian/bi girls? age distribution among the different types of yaoi stereotypes (i.e. student/teacher.)? and so on. sorry, maybe i'm just over-analyzing. :sweat: don't smack me...

well, some of my favourites would be Embracing Love ^.^, FAKE, Finder Series, Zetsuai/Bronze (it's old but sooo wonderful), Ai no Kusabi, Kiss me Teacher and Kizuna. There are other great series of course, Yellow for example.
But I think those are all quite popular.
My favourite pairing are the main pairings that belong to these series. But considering fanfics I must add YohjixAya (Weiss Kreuz) and IrvinexSquall (FF), too. *drools*

about those statistic: I think most fans are girls. I only know a few guys who like shonen-ai/yaoi. And they actually tend towards being bi or homosexual in real life, too... as for me I'd say I'm hetero ^^ but as a proverb here in Germany says: never say never. There are people who discovered that they are homosexual or at least bi when they were 40 or older... so...


@ Kiyomi and yoshe-chan: ^_^welcome to the group

Hi my name is Kiyomi1819 and I'm 15 yrs. old. I recently have gotten into yaoi. It's a really romantic love. I really like alot of the yaoi anime/manga series out there. Some of my fav's are Loveless, Decendents of Darkness, Fake, Eerie Queerie, Legal drug, Our Kingdom, Only the finger one knows, Gravitaion, Little Butterfly, and Mirage a Blaze, ect. I really would like to join your group. Hope you'd add me to it. Thank you. I'd appreciate it!
-Kiyomi1819-

hi, my name is yoshe-chan, i'm 14 and my favourite yaoi series is gravitation and my favourite pairing is of course yuki and shuichi from gravitation

actually you haven't missed a lot, there are many many yaoi mangakas out there, and i'd be surprised if you knew all the ones i mentioned. if you frequent a couple of the scanalation groups that are mentioned above then chances are you've probably read one of something from one mangakas i listed. i've read lots of series and oneshots, but i can't for the life of me name more than 5 artists ^_^'

of course i'd like to hear recommendations too. XD

Quote by darkheart510hi! I wanna join please!
I'm Darkheart
Age:21
Fav Series: Right now is...Tactics, PoT, Ouran High Host and lots others.
Fav pairing: Seiwa and Masafumi from Koi wa Ino Mono Myona Mono by Zaou Taishi, BUT my favorite slash pairings are InuixKaidoh and FujixTezuka from Prince of Tennis.
The yaoi mangakas whom i'm currently obsessed about are Asami Tohjoh, Naono Bohra, Zaou Taishi and Chitose Piyoko

Quote by Lura-Sharalactually I don't like Gravitation very much. That shuichi boy is just too naive and childish and somehow getting on my nerves (seems to have the running power of the energizer bunny, hu?)

amen to that. i'm very glad to finally hear someone say it. no offense to his fandom, but i really don't get his appeal. and i don't get yuki either... ^_^' On the other hand, i really really like kinya kotani's songs..."No!virtual" rocks my socks

well then, welcome to the group ^_^

*smile* yes, that's true, the Gravitation OST in general isn't that bad ^^ I own two CDs and I really like them.

Quote by darkheart510Asami Tohjoh, Naono Bohra, Zaou Taishi and Chitose Piyoko


wow... I never heard about them o.O... did I miss something? seems so ^.^ can you tell me about them? *always looking for new yaoi and shonen ai stuff* *smile* and I never read or watched prince of tennis either v.v

Fav series: Gravitation & Loveless
though they should have more... of yaoiness... XP

hi ^^ and welcome to the group!
well, when you are looking for more yaoi you should probably read Kizuna (although I don't know if you'll be able to buy it - here in my country it's rated 16+), same goes for Embracing Love and Finder Series (which are 18+ but I can only recommend them ^.^) Ai no Kusabi would be worth watching as well.

*smile* actually I don't like Gravitation very much. That shuichi boy is just too naive and childish and somehow getting on my nerves (seems to have the running power of the energizer bunny, hu?) ^_^'
Yuki is quite okay, though ^^

btw @ Lia:

Quote: yay for Yellow (and I'm itching for the last volume already)!


same here ^.^

Really egnirys? That'd be awesome it you could look that up for me! Thanks

Yeah. I just recently purchased yellow volume 4. LOVED IT! XD

I've only downloaded Princess Princess up until episode 3, I think. I havent seen the two newest ones yet. I think your right, it does seem like kinda shoujo more than anything else . . .
That would be awesome though if it did turn into somethin more though.

I dont think I've seen Angels Feather. o-o
Is it up for download at aarin?

hmm....rising storm mangaka = brother? gotta get it soon ^^ I almost forgot that I had a copy of Brother too ^^"

'bout princess2, its up to eps 5 now in aarin ^^ looks like shounen-ai at first, but I think the genre is shoujo. i'm sure it will be yaoi later regarding the mangaka Tsuda Mikiyo, who's actually another name of Taishi Zaou --> her y-mangas are quite graphic...if she intend to make it that way ;P. well, I only read it up to ch 2, scanlated by peccatore sanctuary & dragon voice.

...and I can't wait when they released sub for Angels Feather XD XD XD anyone watch it? the first eps was aired last april 28 or 29 if i'm not mistaken.

I love yellow too, especially the last book vol 4, that i only have raw scans on it >.< dunno when dmp will release the english version here -_- also 2 more titles i want to own the english version: challenger and the tyrant who fall in love by hinako takanaga...the later currently licensed by dramaqueen...yay!

Deidaralover: I work in a bookstore, I can check on a date for that manga for you.

Lately, I've been reading Yellow, Boy Princess and lots of not!yaoi. Go figure. But there does seem to be more of it showing up where I work. It's a good thing. :)

This was just a quickie to let everyone know that I haven't died, just been quiet and watched. :) School stinks!

You mentioned the new anime from aarinfantasy of Princess Princess . . . I just finished watching both of the new eppys. It seems like a shounen-ai, not yaoi. In the first two episodes there's not really any indications that I see but in the ending song you see some images that make ya think otherwise. I'm hoping their relationship progresses as more episodes are up for download. XD

OMG. Tirdaelyn have you read the manga Brother then?! o-o
I wanted to readdddd it soooo bad. -cries-
I'm waiting for it to come out in stores (Borders xp). I havent seen it yet though T-T
I might have to buy it from amazon instead. >->

yeah, i typically like my yaoi with a bit of a plot. yup, especially the uber-romantic shoujo types. ones like level c are all right, but i guess i find i like the erm -hot- scenes better when i actually get to know the characters.
