I don't know if any of you have had this experience, but I browse around in bookstores a lot. And a lot of my purchases are manga. And a lot of my manga are BL. And a lot of the covers for BL give it away as such. Very. Very. Obviously.
And I get self conscious. Ahahaha. XD
But sometimes- like just today- I encountered somebody else browsing BL. O__O While I was innocently reading Princess Princess, (It's not BL TECHNICALLY- although I was hugely amused that the author intended it to be at first, but that's neither here nor there.) I looked beside me to see this woman- she had to be nineteen or so- thumbing through La Esperansaca. And I figured, "Okay, it's kind of a shojo manga, even though it has BL. Maybe she just thinks it's pretty. XD" And then I went back to Princess Priness and that was that. But I glance up again and I see she's got Only the Ring Finger Knows and Loveless under her arm. And my initial reactions was, "Holy crap! A kindred spirit! rofl "
What kind of experiences do you have while looking at BL or Yaoi at bookstores? Discuss different experiences with store clerks, with other customers, or while just browsing. :3
