I was totally enamored with the flow of all the yuri teasing and flirting and then had a shock when the yaoi short was flipped through . Now I need to go get a mop , seeing the yaoi made me spit out my ice cream everywhere . Now I have to make a whole new bowl of Mint'N'Chip .

Jin really has a problem with faces, I cant till if this is or is not meant to be related to my beloved.

I disagree.

Wow. That was really good. That credit page though xD

I'm checking the Not Yaoi tag, and so far it's been used for:

• This one, which has some BL but not porn, therefore it isn't yaoi.
• A manga by GAN that has the exact same title as the KyoAni anime about teenage guys with a water fetish.
• An Evangelion dj where Kaworu tries to do yaoi but fails. Hence, not quite yaoi.
• Two Code Geass doujins where two gender-bent male characters do yuri porn. Thus, not exactly yaoi.
• And an author whose style makes girls look like transvestites.

For a tag so seldomly used it is quite diverse, isn't it?

Kek, not yaoi.
Either way, I liked both shorts!

That "not yaoi" tag made me laugh
Though in regards to the short at the end, I could've sworn one of them had boobs.

That description of Free is probably the most accurate I've seen so far xD

Or both of them, at one point I was convinced that they were girls, started searching for pronoun and did found a he x)

So that was great, but what exactly was the purpose of the not yaoi tag?

In this case, it's to inform readers that there are male characters in the manga (though it's only a short at the end), and one of them just blushes at the other, thus it's not yaoi. Definitely not yaoi. Yep, there's no yaoi here. Just a guy blushing from another guy holding his hand and their foreheads touching. Perfectly normal for a senpai & a kouhai.

Unacceptable! Cant believe Jin-sama got second billing! Pfft :p

The author tags seem to be sorted alphabetically, and as far as I know there's no way to tag guest authors.

Not to mention it's hospitable to put a guest author first if you think about it.

Who said anything about alphabet ? That's stupid. Guest is first because Jin's good manners came through the internet.

-But there is yaoi in this. Tag should be removed.

Well THAT'S. THE. POİNT.

No, the point is that some people can (be triggered/have their moods ruined) by a varying array of circumstances, and these people need to be able to rely on and trust the tagging system to get the best usage our of this site.

Even if the tag is technically accurate (and that's debatable) it is still used in a deceptive manner to spring a nasty surprise on the people who are trying to avoid the very thing they have been tricked into seeing.

A more useful and considerate tag would be something like yaoi on pages 19-22, or for those of you who might want to argue the technicalities implied yaoi on pages 19-22. That way the people who are here for yuri and nothing but the yuri can stop at page 18 without being lulled into a false sense of security.

It's just basic etiquette.

Well, for certain I really liked this side of Takemiya Jin leaving aside the usual angst and drama for a change.

the usual angst and drama

LOLOL

Why the Not Yaoi tag? XD

Why the Not Yaoi tag? XD

I believe the implication is that it didn't have much in common with yaoi, despite being two males.

It's not even that big a deal, lol. You can always just close the tab when you reach it. And if simply seeing two guys on a page is enough to ruin your day you have far larger issues to be worrying about than whether something is tagged correctly.

Jin really has a problem with faces, I cant till if this is or is not meant to be related to my beloved.

I disagree.

The way she positions the side views of her character faces is a bit... different, but I would liken it to a more stylistic choice versus a failing in artistic ability. That being said I don't think she a particularly good artist though, she just has style that makes up for it. She is good enough for manga, but only just.

I saw those too, glad I wasn't the only one
it's hard to translate pronouns from japanese because they don't have he or she so I'm taking the translation with a grain of dust
