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). [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 birthday!

Sorry I'm late, but this is the first time online in a few days.

And you have Fake! Fake good :) Volume 5 is out next January according to Amazon.

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!
