The Fear of Originality

[Infinite Pandora]

You're right, I can totally see your point. And some yaoi DO have sub genres such as fantasy (take most of Naono Bohra's works). I have read a few where it either isn't all about the sex and such. Oh and if you're looking for yaoi minus random sex scene, go for shounen-ai.

Oh and on a completely different note, why does everybody think that Loveless is a yaoi/shounen-ai? Since I don't really see any of that type of romance. Hmm, maybe it's just me. . .

Yeah, heh heh. But that's how it is with most things...you know, too many people do the same stuff, so it's hard to be original.

Dining Bar Akira is somewhat like that, but there's more relationship development and it's quite realistic, if you think about the situation.

Of course, you could always go for something like Shiiku Gakari Rika or Tetsu x Rika (which are in the same world, basically.) for something extremely interesting and twisted. Believe me, it is TWISTED and psychological, and one of those things where you're almost afraid to read it but you can't stop, and the scenes echo in your mind afterwards (or maybe that's just me).

Yeah...but I mean, you find a really good one somewhere every once in a while.

...But be sure to have fun!

There are many original ones, you've just got to find them. I suggest not looking on Gaia 3nodding
