Naturally many groups have inclinations and will make up a prime audience of various things but I think you will always find exceptions, people interested in what they're not expected to, and that's just fine. I mean, look at how many of us adults still like Pokemon <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('738','tyciol','I don't think it's right to say any form of media should be exclusively for any type of person.

No need for apologies. :-) That's interesting to hear about Miyamoto-sensei's approval of scanlations. I too wonder if it's because of her doujinshi background…

Sorry, my apologies, I only read online because there are no places that print yaoi in my country (Brazil) and I prefer to read in english (I detest brazilian translations) that´s why I point everything online. Most of what I pointed to you is not licensed in US (I don´t even know if someone but the fans knows Yoneda Kou because she mostly makes doujinshis, she is not knowed even in Japan)but since you are researching to become a yaoi author, what I think is really cool, I thought in point to you yaois that are not mainstream (so they are not cliché like reluctant crying girlie ukes, semes that out of the blue decide to rape the uke and other clichés that so many yaois have). I think the western industrie is still learning about japanese manga in general. We don´t see the best titles licensed and translated. Unfortunately for the mangakas the scanlators does a better work than the editors. (Also let me tell you that Kano Miyamoto and Yoneda Kou are aware of their translators, Kano Miyamoto encourage the scanlation, I have a novel she wrote and made available only through the scanlation site. I suppose is something that is somehow connected with the fact that they both make doujinshis, they are very close to their readers). Again, my apologies with all my links. Sometimes I´m clueless. =) <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('605','daniyagami','Oh, I only read this reply now.

They are much appreciated! :-D I'll keep an eye out for Kou-sensei's work, in case a U.S. publisher decides to publish her here. I know it sounds strange, but I don't really download yaoi. I might download bara because there really aren't any publishers here who are publishing it, and hopefully by increasing its popularity, publishers will see it's marketable -- but for yaoi, there are a number of publishers here in the U.S. already. And if I get in the habit of downloading yaoi -- I know myself, it's so convenient to download, I'll be less likely to buy it -- and I really want to support the yaoi pubs here in the U.S. that are still managing to survive. I understand that other yaoi-fans might make different choices around that, but it's what works for me. But from what I can see of the art, I find Kou-sensei's work intriguing, so hopefully a U.S. pub will pick her up soon! :-D <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('602','Alex Woolfson','<a href=\"#comment-593\" rel=\"nofollow\">@daniyagami<\/a> - \r \n\r \nHey - thank you very much for the compliments!
