Forum: Yaoi & Fujoshi Heaven ★ Group

Recently, I came across a discussion online about different ways fans consume BL content and how "fujo" they were. Some consume irregularly, some only indulge in shipping, some consume only content relating to BL, and some used to read a lot but not as much anymore. There was a large range of types. One common topic I noticed during were the varied types of mediums people enjoyed to interact with.

As someone that primarily interacts with the genre through BL manga, I often forget the BL content made in animations, TV dramas, novels, fan-fiction, visual novels, gacha, and probably a few more I'm forgetting.

So, what's your favorite medium to consume for this particular genre?

Personally i like to watch BL oldschool animes, play visual novels (the BL visual novels are a masterpiece), and sometimes read some manga. 

But recently the BL manga/manhwa is very popular, but i not read so much manga or mahwa

Oh and I love to read Fanfictions...

I have probably consumed every type of BL media throughout my life, but recently I'm really into BL visual novels more than anything, I totally recommend Hashihime of the Old Book Town! it's slow paced but so worth it, and if your cup of tea is something very spicy that gets to the point fast I'd recommend Absolute Obedience, it's an old one but it's so good I promise.


Don't get me started on Nitro+Chiral games...

Honestly I read bl most of the time either through manga/manhwa/manhua or webnovels that’s mainly because I don’t have enough time to watch a full anime though I do enjoy them when I have the time. (*´ー`*)

Hii! :D 

I started consuming BL/yaoi content by ships between male characters in every fandom I used to be xD I didn't care if they were canon or not, if they had an interesting chemistry, I would ship them.

In recent years I've been more into BL -only- focused media, like BL manga, manhua, manhwa, webtoons and anime. I would like to see more live actions or Thai BL, if someone has a series that would like to recommend, please let me know!!

my favorite mediums to consume BL in are mostly books, manga/manhwas! (and fanfiction of course xD) for books, i mostly read danmei (chinese BL for those who don't know), and for manga/manhwa i mostly read shounen ai with a tinge of yaoi (however not the overly r@pey ones, the ones with plot). as for fanfiction, i am mostly reading ships from media i've consumed. i too forget there are animations, tv shows and movies. i think the few gay-centric (l[gb]t+) movies i've consumed were 'Call Me By Your Name', "Red White & Royal Blue', 'Kill Your Darlings', 'Love Simon', & 'Love Victor'. if anyone has recs, i'd be more than happy to watch em.

My favorite is manga and visual novels! I just find the storytelling so much more intriguing.
