When I read that the Sanrio characters were going to be involved, I was really hoping that Badtz Maru was going to profess his love to Kitty's boyfriend, Daniel. I feel so let down by this news.

Kind of a good example of how gay is thought of as a genre but not as an actual, real-life thing in Japan. Assuming the novel is worksafe and doesn't contain any Unfortunate Implications, this is actually rather progressive. Of course I don't know anything about the novel itself. So I can't really make a true judgement.

$57 to see some guys read a book? What!? Also, seeing it's Yaoi instantly put Gilbert Gottfried reading 50 Shades in my head. Now him reading it I'd pay to see.

You know what I'd pay to see a reading of a Show by Rock yuri or yaoi doujin either one will do.

Nitpick: this is not a yaoi novel. It's a BL novel. Yaoi is fanmade M/M material based on original works, BL is the original stuff. So there's no such thing as yaoi manga, for example; just yaoi doujinshi.

But doujinshi just means self-published print work. Just because a manga is published outside of the industry doesn't make it not manga (which is just comics)

It'd have to be pretty tame if they're letting 2 year old kids come in and not have any complaints. At least... I hope it's tame. Then again, being tame certainly didn't stop parents from complaining when Sesame Street had that live action segment with the lesbian couple.

Honestly, even though the show is mostly kid friendly, that show was just asking for people to make yaoi and yuri ships. I mean sure you get a little bit of teasing in shows like Love Live but I'm actually convinced that Retoree is a full on lesbian.

I believe that Japanese mainly use BL for these type of comics (I don't know know when they actually use "yaoi"). I believe yaoi is used more by Western fans..

Really? I mean really?? What possible advantage could this have for a company like Sanrio? One good thing about this is whatever nutbar parent what brings their up to 2 year old in, that child won't have a clue what's going on nor remember it.
