Doesn't look interesting. probably because i'm never a fan of burly men. but still, the artwork style leaves little to be desired

Well, I didn't expect to see this on ANN. Next it'll be on Kotaku, and then my head will explode lmao.
It's called bara, and it's clearly not for everyone. But the bara genre has an absurdly large fanbase. Practically the entire cross-section of the "gay male" and "otaku" cultures, even. |

Bara still have a quite big pejorative meaning in Japan, so I invite you to use th term "gay". Bara is pretty much a term made in the west, and they just says "gay" at the place of bara in Japan.
Thought, "bara" started to get a bit more used there in the last two years. |

Are you playing a 12 year old??? Like seriously, if the dude on the front cover is supposed to be the male hero, he can't be pushing more than 15 lol.

Actually, for it to be pedophilia, there need to be sexual urges that are recurring repeatedly over the course of 6 months, and if the subject of the sexual arousal is under 13. DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition)'s criteria for pedophilia (go to page 3) is...

Sooo it's a gay type of game which is for males and not a BL game for female? -_- no wonder I don't see bishounen,uke,seme, and moe. Maybe I'll try playing it for fun

A game about gay men that's actually for gay men? Why, that's almost as ludicrous as a story about women that's actually for women, or a story about men that's for men. That is to say, not at all. |

Between this and the Massive manga anthology it's nice to see bara material finally getting some official distributions outside of Japan.

This is a game that needs to happen here. Teenage boys going after teenage girls is so outdated and dull.

Really, you are making an issue out of the use of gay? It's not an issue, don't make one out of it; I doubt gay male is offended by being called gay... If people ask for my sexuality I don't say "I'm homosexual". Anyways, I'm not a fan of bara but I'm thinking of throwing a bit of cash at this to help support something, that looks quite fun, aimed at the LGBT community. |

Same. When people ask my orientation, I don't say: "I'm a homosexual." That's so clinical; it makes you sound like a robot. (Also, hi, Tsuna :3) |

Yo zeo1fan, it's been a while!
I know, to me it's not a natural way to respond. Also the initialism LGBT, used by gay rights groups, has a G for gay. If it wasn't politically correct then gay rights groups wouldn't use it. |

Yeah; I've actually never heard anyone denigrate the term 'gay' as a descriptor. So that comment was pretty surprising. It's not even like it's a slur, either. |

And even when someone tries to be offensive by saying "you're/that's so gay" it fails pretty badly these days; there is no weight behind it because it's such an accepted term in today's society.
