--- Quote from: epitomynut on 05 Jun 2009, 04:12 ---With Magical Love Gentlemen, however, we can see that the front cover is on the right. There are four possible reasons for this.
1. Jeph made an oops. He is only human and so is entitled to make mistakes now and again.
2. The translating company flipped the artwork to suit the western audience. Or they just flipped the cover for some reason.
3. Magical Love Gentlemen is a western manga done with a japanese art style, but formated in the western way.
4. The covers are a rare printing error.

5. It's Korean - their manga ("manhwa") reads from left to right IIRC

I realy dont realy care about the way a book faces,if some of you do,so be it but i dont. I dont see what the fuss is about,but it doesnt matter.
I wonder what She did with Pintsize's "Lot o'Porn" i wonder if she realy did take some....
maddness:
Actually, there's quite a bit of erotica and romance that is m/m that is marketed to women. I think the part that weirds some people out is that in yaoi there are pictures. Some people like to pretend that if there are no pictures, it's not porn.

Waha, nothing to bring me out of non-postan mode than misreading something.
I thought the yaoi manga's title was "Magical love goddamn"

LOL. That's true. Also in my comment I didn't factor in erotic literature in general (which ... I THINK is more for women than men, but obviously making generalizations like that is unfair of me, anyway. Porn is for everyone who likes it! Yayyy!!!).
My point is just, ... I don't understand why people would be more squicked out by yaoi than they would be by say, a romance novel, or, lesbian American porn. I would try to point out a more specific double standard, but I don't even understand what it IS. I think people may not fully understand how basic yaoi is as a genre though, and that unless you're squicked by buttsex, then ... you're probably not gonna get squicked by run-of-the-mill yaoi.
Also, these people are reading a comic with Tai in it. TAI, people. Her entire life is way more squicky than yaoi.
