What's manhwa?

Korean comics. They're like manga, but Korean. Like manga, some are really good, some have pretty art and crappy stories, and some are just lame all around. So, like any comics, really.

Junjo Romantica. I've seen the anime and it was kinda disturbing how some of the plotlines included older experienced males with younger inexperienced males who "fought" the older male while still dealing with "their feelings."

I dunno. I just didn't dig on how, especially one plot line, where the guy was practically dragged kicking and screaming into the bedroom every time, but was still "in love" with the guy.

Eh, I haven't read it. XD A lot of yaoi just isn't my cup of tea. But I can't deny that a lot of women buy it.

I haven't read it either so it could probably be radically different from the anime (in my experience, this is true 90% of the time anyway.)

I'm not that into yaoi either. though i am ashamed to admit that i dig the shounen-ai a lil bit as a guilty pleasure *sheepish grin*
