Sorry, i also never read Vassalord. And none of my friends does so far.
Mangaupdates is the only help now. It's described as shonen-ai, so no sex.

 

[leeloochan]

Hi there! This is my first post in Mangahelpers and I couldn't find where should I present myself, so I hope I can do it here. I've been reading Yaoi since I'm 18 (I'm 22 nowadays). I've already read almost all yaoi mangas translated and uploaded in manga traders xD My favorite ones are Totally captivated, Bi no Isu, Bóndz, Cut, Doushitemo Furetakunai, Cafe Latte Rhapsody, and some more :P... and my currently addiction are Super Lovers and Elektel Delusion. I hope to get along with everyone here!

 

[Asclepius]

Oi.
Welcome to MH. There is a section called Member Zone, if you want to try too.
But this is the place to talk about Boys Love with passion.

I don't know all of the mangas that you listed, i'm a slow reader.

I didn't really understand the request.
Tell me if i'm wrong, but do you want a website to read the mangas, any boys love manga?
So far, only one official online reader: Jmanga

Sublime is the current publisher in english for most mangas in the USA now, you can check their titles here: http://www.sublimemanga.com

For non official readers, google is your friend.

Japanese Amazon released BL mangas for kindle.
It's just a few, but it's the first step. From the first look of it, i recognized The Tyrant falls in love in the list.

Amazon.jp

Thnaks to fencer_x for pointing this out.

 

[Teeba]

Oh boy, now that I've read Magi I'm really trying to resist buying Sinbad/Jafar doujinshi on top of buying Beelzebub doujinshi.

I find Sinja such a surprise pairing to come out of Magi's fandom, and yet it makes perfect sense to me. O_O And to be honest, the Magi fandom has really surprised me by being totally not bitchy towards its female characters. They in general love all the characters regardless of being male or female, and that makes me happy.

Sex Pistols/Love Pistols Manga to Resume in Japan

Tarako Kotobuki's "science love fiction" story to resume in Magazine Be-Boy's 20th anniversary issue

The official website for Libre Publishing's Magazine Be-Boy has revealed that Tarako Kotobuki will resume her Sex Pistols boys-love manga in the magazine's April issue, which will ship on March 7. The issue will commemorate the 20th anniversary since Libre launched Magazine Be-Boy.

Viz Media's SuBLime imprint is releasing the series under the name Love Pistols digitally in North America, with the sixth volume scheduled to be released later this month. Tokyopop's Blu imprint previously published the first five volumes of the series physically between 2007-2008. Libre Publishing released the sixth volume in Japan in October 2010.

The "science love fiction" story of Sex Pistols revolves around a high school boy who discovers that he is part of a select group of humans. These individuals did not evolve from primates, but from various animals such as leopards and black bears.

The manga received a two-episode video anime series in 2010-2011.

Viz's SuBLime Adds Rieko Yoshihara's Into Illusion Novel/Manga Project

Simultaneous worldwide English release for new boys-love project from Ai no Kusabi author

SuBLime, the boys-love imprint of the North American manga publisher Viz Media, announced on Thursday that it will release Rieko Yoshihara (Ai no Kusabi) and Ryo Tateishi's Into Illusion manga and novel project. The project is being released in Libre's Be-Boy Gold magazine on a bimonthly basis and will consist of novel chapters written by Yoshihara and manga chapters written in collaboration with Tateishi.

SuBLime describes the series as follows:

Takumi, Kouki, and Jin are three boys living a normal high school life, until the day when a traumatic car accident turns their lives upside down. Caught up in a phenomenon that twists the boundaries between the realms of the supernatural and the world of man, their fates seems to be sealed…and yet they survive. What does their mysterious survival mean, and how will it change their lives?

The first installment in the project will be released in the June issue of Be-Boy Gold at the end of April. SuBLime will release the English version on April 29 via its website. Each installment will cost US$3.99.

Digital Manga Publishing released the seventh novel in Yoshihara's Ai no Kusabi boys-love novel series in August. The novels inspired a two-episode original video anime series in 1992 and 1994. A four-episode video anime remake series shipped in Japan in 2012. The anime studio AIC (Ah! My Goddess, Bamboo Blade) animated both the original and remake series. Media Blasters is releasing the remake series in North America.

Tateishi previously illustrated Mizumi Takaoka's Amai Wana de Torokasete and Amai Wana de Aegasete boys-love novels and Kanna Natsumi's Omeruta ~Kochō no Yume no Hate manga.

Update: Background information added.

Digital Manga Adds Boys-Love Titles Apple & Honey, Wolf Magic

Also: Final Vampire Hunter D volume, Castle Mango volume 2

North American publisher Digital Manga Inc. announced at its panel at Fanime on Saturday that it has licensed Hideyoshico's Apple and Honey (Ringo ni Hachimitsu, pictured at right) and Apple and Honey: His Rose Colored Life (Kare no Barairo no Jinsei, pictured far right) manga and Natsuki Zippo's Wolf Magic (Ōkami wa Mahō o) boys-love manga (pictured below left) for print.

Hideyoshico's Apple and Honey and the sequel Apple and Honey: His Colored Life are each one-volume manga. Their stories begin when Natsuki Matsuda, a gay second-year college student, is invited to a curry club by a younger man. Tokyo Mangasha released the two volumes in 2011 and 2012.

Tokyo Mangasha also released the one-volume Wolf Magic manga in Japan last August. The story follows college student Higuchi when he meets the older student Nagase. Nagase is taciturn and seemingly expressionless at first, but he opens up to Higuchi when they get to know each other.

In addition, Digital Manga revealed that it will release the eighth and final volume of Hideyuki Kikuchi and Saiko Takaki's Vampire Hunter D manga and the second volume of Muku Ogura and Narise Konohara's Castle Mango boys-love manga. The company stated that Yaoi-Con will take place again next year, but cannot announce the location and dates yet.

Yaoi day? 801 ? I had to look it up and now I'm educated.

Happy yaoi day! then.

Last Oricon charts showed Sekai ichi Hatsukoi in the top 10. That's huge achievement in a week full of heavy weights like OP, Bleach and Kuroko no Basket releases.
That's something to celebrate along with the announced animated movie.

July 29th ~ August 4th (Credits for Negative Syndicate / revolution_d1)

01. One Piece #71 (1,542,134)
02. Ao no Exorcist #11 (349,758)
03. Kuroko no Basket #23 (314,750)
04. Bleach #60 (255,363)
05. Toriko #26 (148,170)
06. Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi～Onodera Ritsu no Baai～ #6 (119,268)
07. Haikyuu!! #7 (117,022)
08. Shokugeki no Souma #3 (108,389)
09. Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu。#4 (96,764 / 255,883)
10. Sket Dance #32 (96,020)

It has the potential to surpass Junjou Romantica volume sales.

 

[SharkBait]

Aw we dont have a thread for BL that we read. Anyway just read one oneshot from peek a yaoi (tumblr), Laundry which was really good with two dudes in their dorm who had an really exciting experience while washing laundry. Good intimate scene of sorts, and kind of funny reveal at the end, and the artist is really good. Ill always remember.

 

[SharkBait]

I picked up another yaoi manga recently, its always so shocking when I buy it and it comes with the plastic wrap on it. I didnt think Crimson Spell would be that explicit (havent read it yet) but then I flipped to a page, and was like, oh no wonder its wrapped.

Yamane Ayano's mangas are usually pretty explicit. Don't let the smut catch you off guard though, she writes pretty good stories and characters.
