Evil Shonen-ai! Evil! Hopefully Tokyopop doesn't turn into another Animerica Extra.

Well, they've already done some mildly shonen-ai stuff like Dragon Knights, I don't see the problem. It might not be as popular here as it could be, because here, homosexuality is more looked down upon. But I don't see any real problems with it.

I'm not raelly against Shonen-Ai. Its just that I don't underestimate the power of fangirls. Whenever some slips into a place, chances are it gets overthrown with shonen-ai and shojo-type manga. I.e. Animerica Extra, though I think it was aimed at girls to begin with.

Wheee, Shonen-ai rocks but Yaoi is way better. Wink

Anyway, I think it's pretty fair that TP is actually releasing Shonen-ai. There are so many manga that targets guys that I think girls should deserve some as well. Besides, just like some girls enjoy shonen, I'm sure guys with open minds will enjoy shonen-ai as well.

Anybody remember Four Shojo Stories? The story They Were Eleven in there was the first manga other than Ranma I ever read, and it's wonderful; way better than the anime they made of it. The latest issue of The Comics Journal has an article about the artist. Anyway, if Shojo type manga finally takes off here, maybe Viz will finally get cracking on Please Save My Earth.
