My country seems to have some people who are now aware of the BL genre, some started reading it. Vicious commentary is everywhere. But I have found some people who read not only manga, but [BL] literature as well. I wouldn’t have realized people existed like this in real life if not for the internet. I managed to get much entertainment as well as many insights about this. It became a new genre of romance for me.
