In Japan!

Oh, little yaoi blog, I haven't forgotten you. I'm just at a school that has really, really bad computers which makes updating all the more laborious and just not fun. Japan has been lovely. I'm in Nagasaki and I'm surrounded by beautiful green mountains. Because this is a BL/yaoi/slash blog I don't want to get too into what I'm doing here if it's not tied to those subjects.

So, yeah, Nagasaki, very beautiful, the nicest people in the world, but, very little doujinshi, from what I've seen. I found a place called Book Bank and they have a doujin section filled with Gundam, RoyxEd, and Oofuri. Their Naruto section is minuscule, which made me cry the saddest fangirl tears ever. But, I was lucky to happen upon a Naruto doujinshi Tanaka Suzuki did in 2000. I also snatched up that Code Geass doujin I wrote about in this entry. So many funny little panels in this one. Also, a lot of CC, which made it all the more awesome.

Used bookstores are my haven. You guys have probably heard of Book Off which is sometimes paired off with a Hobby Off and you can find used comics anywhere from 100 yen to 350 (of course there are those that cost more but those prices are just a fraction of the original price). I am partial to Book Bank though because they have doujin and a lot more BL than Book Off.

Anyway, I still want to try my best to keep this blog active while I'm here. So look for an update hopefully once a week starting from today. Oh, and I want to thank the people who left comments over the past few weeks. I hope no one thinks I'm going to stop posting because I don't get comments. This blog is personal so I intend on continuing it until I stop liking anything with boys loving boys. And I don't see that happening anytime soon :).
