Just found this article on how western romance novels are successfully being manga-ised for the Japanese market.

Gotta love those last couple of paragraphs referring to yaoi, clearly the author of the article hasn't done a huge amount of research on homoerotic fandom Big Grin

Lol2 Lol

And WHOOOHOOOO!!!!..

Quote from article:

"Japanese women cannot be satisfied by Mills and Boon alone. Offerings from other publishers include explicit sex scenes and love stories between men.

These are not produced for gay men, but are aimed specifically at women. "


I think Lyon, Ninja, Buff and Yuki can help educate Charles Bodworth <author of article> with the definition and fascination for yaoi..

HUGE GRIN

I have to admit given the way Sayuri describes the Japanese language mills and boon would seem like looking at a black and white pic when you want colour
