Hello people
Today I received an email with the content rather odd. they said they had seen my blog (and love it - it's great). They complain about my post too much yaoi doujin. Fact, the story that I posted mostly bara doujin. So, I think I should specify the concept of two types of this doujin so that you are clear. Ha ha

Category Bara appeared in the 1960s with the respected magazine themes pictures and gay content. Besides, Bara Manga longer called GEI Comi (ゲイコミ, "gay comics gay comics"). Bara is a key trend in Japan should be exposed and introduced to the Western countries including Vietnam have very limited through the popular Manga in the gay forum. While Bara faced with difficulties in finding western publishers, it has created a "next big porn wave of Japan".Bara can vary in visual style and plot. But often, masculine men at different levels based on the muscle, fat and body hair, like beefcakes, or bear (熊, kuma) in gay culture. Bara often have adult content (sometimes violent and exploitative) and gay neo-romantic, it is also more realistic and autobiographical themes because it acknowledges the taboo of homosexuality Japan.Western readers sometimes called to Bara "Yaoi", but Yaoi largely written by women and for women readers and the ideal bishonen (handsome) character regular fit "SEME "masculine and" uke effeminate. Conversely, Bara considered a genre contain elements from seijin (male libido) for gay men and it's like comics more for men ( seinen) rather than comics for female readers (Shojo / Josei).The author of popular comic book series bara:
