Yaoi is a manga (Japanese comic) style aimed primarily at women. It presents relatively feminine, glamorized male characters in sexually charged scenarios. It is generally more "romantic" than graphic, and cannot be directly likened to either Western homosexual erotica, or the inverse of "lesbian" fantasies targeting heterosexual men. Basically, eye candy for women and gay men.
It's been a long time since the last Yaoi Digest. For this one, I turn exclusively to fashion agency blogs and the photographers who populate them with nubile young yumminess (say "nubile young yumminess" five times fast). We got buns, we got beautiful pouting faces, tattoos and treasure trails galore. I lead with one of the first underwear models I posted about, oh so long ago now it seems: Tyler Riggs and his beautiful tattoo. Taken from photographer William Lord's blog , this one of the...

From: Free Ebooks Reading YAOI Comics: An Analysis of Korean Girls' Fandom 1 By Sueen Noh Introduction Male homosexuality has become a popular subject of girls' comics2 circa 1995 in Korea. The Donga Korean Dictionary (1990) explains homosexuality as an "abnormal sexuality between the same sex," indicating that a majority of our society still regards heterosexuality as a value of tradition and normality and homosexuality as a symptom of deviation and abnormality. The homosexuality in girls... Read Full Story

Here is a question about racism in Japan, and here are the way. Are Japanese People racist against black people? I plan to go to Japan, so I want to know. I don't want to have a bad time you know (Please - I don't want to offend any Japanese people so I am sorry If I offend anyone of you.) The Japanese are not racist in general. All Japanese people are not racist like the kkk would be in America. They pretty much are a changed nation since they got atomicized in two of their major cities... Read Full Story
I've expanded the number of sources I look at considerably, particularly from DevaintArt, and so it seemed appropriate to collect a number of pictures together in one place. Michiko's sets the pace with yaoi sex kitten Naruto and his most common conspirator in smooch. Vishstudio is proving to a reliable source of beefcake and buns, though this lad could use some ink on his left cheek! ...as was the tummy on this shot of Smoothsketch's . Belly button! I admit it: I'm down with emo... Read Full Story
So many pretty pictures, it's time for another Yaoi Digest! Little mixing and matching, this time, some traditional "manga style" images, some boxer briefs. Enough chatter, on with the show! I've always been a sucker (nyuck nycuk) for vampire schtick, a natural yaoi theme, and Natsuki-3 's gallery delivers. Is that Karazhan!? Chic and trendy blog The Imagist also delivers Gregory Vaughan delivering another of Tyler Kenyon's "technically not naked" naughty boy poses. Always a reliable source... Read Full Story
It's been a long time since the last digest. Given such tardiness, let's plunge right in! Although I cringe at watermarks, I understand why artists feel a need to do it, and Sakimichan's final-fantasy-esque duet is worth it (though we could see a bit more of that naughty devil...)! Though again, my puritanical tastes prefer unadorned images, Heise's sultry boudoir scene caught my fancy... as did this mermuffin-in-bondage: Not only does Sandfreak's Gaara offer Naruto cred, the styling provides...

Stepping back from the campaign brink, another round of romantic fantasy! Huzzah! A golden moment, elegant and romantic - from Shirotsuki's fine gallery. SweetMoon's buxom nymphs are so cute, I want to pinch them... but that looks like an ancient magic incantation that's best not to interrupt. A slinky dark moment of fine yaoi conniving, from Ghostfire. ...while Saimain imagines a magnificent moment. The colors washing Tobiee's beautiful watercolor appeal to me strongly. ...as do those in... Read Full Story
Red recently updated its blog with new shots of crowd-pleaser Tyler Riggs, in a series by the photographer Jon Malinowski . Malinowski knows how to exploit the boy's odd planes. In some poses (though not this charmer), he reminds me of a pretty Lurch. I like that. They're creepy and their cooky, they're altogether spooky, the Adam's Family duh-na-na-nah snap snap. Or something. According to the blurb introducing the images, Riggs will be shaking his little butt on runways around the world... Read Full Story
