The romantic tastes of Japanese women

[odycee]

From this news story about manga versions of Mills & Boon novels:

"And when it comes to manga, the romantic tastes of Japanese women cannot be satisfied by Mills and Boon alone. Offerings from other publishers include explicit sex scenes and love stories between men.

These are not produced for gay men, but are aimed specifically at women. While Western romance has made its mark in Japan, it could be that this sub-section of the genre may not be making the return journey quite yet."

Love stories between men? Aimed at women? Women in the Western world would never go for such perverted filth.

lmao!

*ahem* I mean, no, never, it's truly shocking.

Shocking indeed. I don't know what kind of women would enjoy stories like that. Thank goodness I don't know any of them...

Well, I'm simply shocked. Shocked and appalled. Gay sex? Why, next they'll be dancing.

*shuns*

And after the dancing is all over, there will be nothing but anarchy. Anarchy I tell you!

Hee. Those wacky Japanese women.

In a completely unrelated topic, I 've just started watching Queer as Folk (US version). All I can say is, Huzzah for censor-free pay TV! :)

I wonder if they'll ever show the US version over here in the UK. I absolutely adore the original UK version.

And in another completely unrelated topic, I love your icon!
