Non-Japanese manga (and yaoi in particular, I feel) is a tough sell in the U.S. I believe this is why the first publication of 'Games' happened in Germany. The fan-base there is a bit more accepting, maybe.

This ideal of it being 'yaoi' or not because it contains 'real gay' is a bit outdated don't you think? Considering that many BL mangaka these days include real gay men in their manga, and considering how many male fans in Japan enjoy BL (there's even companies that market 'yaoi for men' now, most notable is Aqua], just because it's a 'gay historical drama' doesn't mean it can't be called or considered yaoi, even if based solely on its art style. I've seen Ms. Brito's work in RUSH and online, and I call it 'yaoi'. As for Ms. Anderson's story, this one is playing by the yaoi-rules, so it more than qualifies. And it's written well to boot! Will there be print copies once both volumes are released digitally? Z @Sakura, your tone worries me and it smacks of entitlement.

Anyway, my suggestion for OEL manga came through! I can't wait, maybe I should submit something one day! How can it be yaoi, if it obviously states its a gay drama?
