Euhm, let's see: I consider Naruto, Kuroshitsuji and Death note as the hottest mangas now (well in my opinion LOL) That's why I would like to see more doujinshi of those three :) onion0

Euhm, the few ones I have bought were based on the fandom (though I mostly look at the pairing) and the story line. The art style is not something that I look for when I purchase one, however if it's really not to my liking, then I won't buy it. The eyes wants something to look at too, right? ;D

So like above, I consider fandom/pairings and the story line the most important when I look for them.

Things that hinder me from purchasing it ... Do you mean the problems I encounter while looking for them? If so, the main problem that I have is that most doujinshi are found in Japan and that's always with payment methodes that I can't use. Or that doujinshis (like those from Kuroshitsuji) are sold out quickly because the fandom is so popular. :cuteonion24:

I prefer English because I can understand that language (it's actually a language I most prefer) but I wouldn't mind it if the Japanese version was in it too - it would be a great help to check my progress of Japanese XD

I don't have a favourite mangaka, mainly because I only look at the story line when I buy mangas :cuteonion50:

I hope that this was a bit useful :cuteonion53:

hmmm... let's see...

 

1. if it's BL, i think its the JunRom , Sekai-ichi and others... (hehe ...sorry... don't know about the others)

if it's not BL, i think it's Naruto, Bleach, One Piece... in my opinion... here in my country... but Beelzebub is a rising anime , too

 

2. and yeah, i'd like to watch a Kuroshitsuji in a BL doujinshi, umm.. Inuyasha.... and UraBoku...

 

3.It's takanaga Hinako... since i read her/his work Koi Soru Boukun... i fell inlove with yaoi... (*heh)

But I also love SERA, Kae Maruya...sakuraga Mei, Moegi Yuu... and many more...

 

4> Base on Art style and then storyline...

 

5. The storyline, of course (*heh)

 

6. Opinions of others... haha... I'm fairly known at school as a serious type and i was once a president so

appearances are quite important...

 

7. I'd like english since I can't understand JP but it's not that bad... :)

 

Here it is!

1. Which Top 3 anime/manga(or more) do you consider the hottest now?

Death Note, Yu Yu Hakusho, Evangelion ( actually EVG I only watched some, but after Kaworu dead I stopped watching ) rabbit11

 

2. Which Top 3 anime/manga(or more) would you like to see in a BL doujinshi?

All three above. Esp. DEATH NOTE :leaf15:

 

But please allow me to add Prince of Tennis ( TezukaxFuji) too. onionn5

 

3. Name your favourite mangaka/BL mangaka and why?

Takanaga Hinako! Since she made such brilliant manga of The Tyrant who fell in love.. foxy1

 

 

4. Do you buy a BL doujinshi base on...

pairing/fandom ( since it's doujinshi after all )

 

5. Which do you consider more important?

ALL actually, but then if the pairing I want is not there I don't read it since I'm usually a faithful sucker for the pair. So the pairing I want WILL DEFINITELY not read by me if they are paired with someone else.

I got angry and then depressed if I did continue reading. :_red_fox 12

 

6. Things that hinder you from purchasing a BL doujinshi

English translation not available, Out of order stocks, the price and the dj just sucked.

 

7. Would you prefer a BL doujinshi to be published in English or dual language (Eng/JP)?

Hmm.. I'm leaning more towards ENGLISH since I still can't read Kanji. But I usually save the JP Dj for if I have mastered Kanji, but REALLY I want to have English translation more.. Esp. DN LxLight Doujin.. foxy3

I'm stillmore or less new to this genre, so I'll leave out point 1 and 2 and not embarrass myself by mentioning mangas that to me are "new" when they're actually a million years old

 

3. Name your favourite mangaka/BL mangaka and why?

Ayano Yamane. I love the way she draws, the sex scenes, the drama, the story and she was the mangaka of my first ever read yaoi

 

4. Do you buy a BL doujinshi base on...

a. storyline

b. pairing/fandom

c. art style

d. others:

that was a hard one to only choose one!

 

6. Things that hinder you from purchasing a BL doujinshi

They don't sell doujinshi (had to look up what that word even meant) where I live- my city lacks any type of alternative bookstore where yaoi manga in general and even less amateur works of art are sold. Unfortunately!

 

7. Would you prefer a BL doujinshi to be published in English or dual language (Eng/JP)?

English- I wouldn't understand much if it were in Japanese

1. Which Top 3 anime/manga(or more) do you consider the hottest now?

I think Free!, without a doubt, and shingeki no kyoujin and knb. But I think Natsume's Book of Friends is quite hot now too.

 

2. Which Top 3 anime/manga(or more) would you like to see in a BL doujinshi?

I basically read only Free! doujinshi and sometimes Gintama.

 

3. Name your favourite mangaka/BL mangaka and why?

I fear I don't read enough doujinshi to have a favourite mangaka, but my favourite BL mangaka is Est Em because her art is absolutely amazing and very delicate. I also like Mishima Kazuhiko for all her reverse tropes manga.

 

4. Do you buy a BL doujinshi base on...

a. storyline

b. pairing/fandom

c. art style

d. others:

(Basically artstyle is my first concern and the pairing, of course. But then there is also the price and the language)

 

5. Which do you consider more important?

6. Things that hinder you from purchasing a BL doujinshi

The language. Also the language of the websites that sell doujinshi or the personal websites of the writer/creators. I would gladly buy English translated doujinshi.

 

7. Would you prefer a BL doujinshi to be published in English or dual language (Eng/JP)?

Everything is fine as long as there's English :D
