I had hoped to have another of my tastings or a guest post ready for you today, but unfortunately my life has been a bit blechy the last couple of weeks and I’m ill-prepared.
Instead, I decided to share some of the yaoi cookies which I’ve been collecting specially for a rainy day.
For those unfamiliar with the genre, they just might give you a sense of what some of the artwork is like, not to mention how explicit it can get. 😉
This first image is from Wild Rock by Kazuza Takashima.
Talked about by Mary Calmes in her guest post for this series.
Kris + Books = Good. *Sometimes*. 
Very nice. 🙂

That little line blocks out sooo much…. *eye roll*
Side note: More Viewfinder & Crimson Spell available in scanlations now!
I'm a member of the Ap Yaoi World Yahoo Group and they posted the links today.
So long as there are no pink-haired, blubbering, emo ukes, I'm all for reading yaoi mangas!
I loved yaoi in high school. Don't read too much of it anymore now that I'm in college because I've gotten tired of seeing shota (which I thinks is WRONG!), rape, and pink-haired ukes who cry too much.
Right now, I'm reading a Korean manwah called: A Thousand and One Nights. The artwork is so lush and beautiful. I'm a sucker for bishies! 😀
I was thinking the same thing as SVZ! Yeah, useful, that line… not.
yum yum yummmmeeeeeee 🙂
Tam: We approve of the yaoi cookies. 🙂
Miranda: LOL! But you have to admit that it's a kind of censorship that any perve will really like. 😉
VC: “So long as there are no pink-haired, blubbering, emo ukes, I'm all for reading yaoi mangas!”
I feel you, hun. Only so many eye rolls you can do before your eye balls either pop out or are your own personal version of a poker machine.
I really like manwha. There's an edginess to it that you don't necessarily get in yaoi. I've never heard about this one though. Can you give linkities, VC?
Chris: Do we really care though? ;P
EH: Indeed. *GRIN*
Yummy cookies. 🙂
This is one of my absolute favorite collections of yaoi pics:

JenB: Oh, great post! Thanks for that link, Jen. 🙂
I think I need a cold shower after that last pic
You only think, KC? What's the matter. You feeling sick. 😛
I really like the yaoi pics. I tried a couple of the books, though, and I just couldn't get into it.
*sigh* Now I think I'll have to go “read” Black Wade! Thanks!!
Nice ones Kris 🙂

Richelle: It's not a genre for everyone that's for sure. I will be sure to post more yaoi pics for you in the future. 🙂
Twimom227: Sucker! ;P
Ingrid: That's a site I visit a lot too. 🙂

It's a beautiful yaoi. Really. The writing is top notch. The stories actually have a MORAL (unlike most yaois that are just about sex, lol). The artwork is just so beautiful. I recommend this manhwa to any shounen-ai fangirl who wants something a little more “serious” and “dark.”
I only have volumes 1-3 right now (I've read up to 5). But there are at least 6 out there, I think. Great series. Give it a look! 😀
Wow. That does look terrific. Thanks for the links, VC! I will definitely be trying it out. 🙂
Thank you sweetie! I hope this week is a better one for you!
And I love that first cookie!
Glad you liked them, Orannia. The artwork in Wild Rock is terrific. You should give it a read some time. 🙂
