I randomly came across an old BL manga online. I believe it was “Yokan Ex Noise”. I didn’t know what the BL/yaoi tag meant at the time so I was pretty shocked when I saw the interaction between two male characters. I dropped it before coming back to it, I was debating whether to continue reading it or not. Since I grew up in a homophopic environment I felt ashamed for reading it. I did start reading more in secret after a while.
