Thanks to everybody who wished me happy birthday yesterday :hugs:

Birthday party was fun. I had cake. And presents! Lots of nice prezzies from housemates. Which reminds me:

I'm fairly sure someone on my friends list must read manga (I hope I'm using that word correctly, clueless as I am). connorbeast bought me volume 4 of Fake and I must. Have. The rest. If I'm denied pretty pretty HoYay I may well hulk out and smash things. So... are there any more comics like that, by any chance? Something in a similar homoerotic vein? Because I think I just found a fun new obsession.

Ooh, and glossing wrote me a Dawn/Tara fic that's so gorgeous it's to die for: read it here.

Happy belated birthday! :)

As for the manga stuff - you should check out Yami no Matsuei, or Descendants of Darkness in English. It's shounen-ai, the fun boylove genre. "Yaoi" generally tends to refer to stuff I find unpalatable - all about the "only one guy can top ever and the other is the girl of the relationship" and rape is a frequent plot device, in my experience. But anyway, I don't know if the manga of YnM is out in English yet, but the anime is and it's really very good.

Hmm. Also uber-slashy are Berserk (Guts and Griffith have kind of a Clark/Lex enemies but not really kind of thing going on) and Sorcerer Hunters, though that last one has a lot more girl T&A than slash. And the only two important female characters are sisters, so the femslash is a bust. Curses!

And there's probably more, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. :)

Happy belated birthday!

Also, I know you've used that icon countless times, but I just wanted to tell you that I love it. :)

Hmmm *thinks of manga that I've read*

Pet Shop of Horrors is all weird and creepy and good. There's also a manga about a gay cop and his partner, but the title escapes me. I'll have to ask aoshi since she's the queen of manga in my circle.

Other good mangas with the whole yaoi thing are Gravitation, Bronze and Angel Sanctuary. Hope this helps you out!
