Here is my experience of my very first yaoi manga and how I got hooked into this genre.
I have always been a fan of anime, but have always hated opened endings, so after finishing a certain anime, it left me puzzled because it finished so quickly. With the help of my friend Google I found the story in a manga 'format'. At first the panels confused the heck out of me, because I didn't know the right way of reading. I was such a silly rabbit.
The first year of reading manga I liked shoujo and at the time I was on a forum downloading. It had a list of recent releases with the image and I would look at the covers and choose the pretty ones. I know I was a snob, don't judge XD I was young so art came before the story then.
Anyways so I'd passed this cover:
My first impression was: "Omg such a cute girl!"
"such a cute girl"
"cute girl"
"girl"
Yeah for some reason I did not see the BOY's highschool uniform haha. Yey, let's read it, let's...wait....@.@ WHAT IS THIS SORCERY? I was jaw dropped thinking they are boys and yet...beautiful!!! T.T At first I was thinking 'I can't believe I'm reading this XD' but the next day I've started reading more. The thing is I fell in love with the story, and the fact that it gave me more feelings than reading shoujo.
