I’ll be frank. Illegally, BL is very easy to find. I’m not exactly a veteran, but neither am I a newbie, so I know what to search for and where to go when I need to find something online. However, in terms of hard copies or tankobons, it’s very hard to find or order things to my country, although I do believe that’s a subjective opinion with regards to my country in particular.

[tankobon (単行本, “independent/standalone book”) is the Japanese word for a book that is not part of a series.]
