It's been 3-4 years or something now, but when I first kinda got into anime, I was watching Higurashi on a certain anime site. One day (it was summer) I decided to check the genres page of the site, and saw shoujo-ai. It got me curious and so I decided to watch the highest rated one from the genre.(surprise surprise it was Strawberry panic). It was pretty difficult to watch, it was embarrassing and felt like a guilty pleasure, but I watched it in 2 days. The amount of impact it had on me was pretty ridiculous, I was sad for days when it ended. A few months later I watched Kashimashi, whose pretty sad story affected me heavily,and it got me addicted to the genre. As Aoi Hana and Sasameki Koto got rather unsatisfying anime endings, I got into yuri manga, reading them first, then moving on to the rest. I had emptied Lililicious and was searching for a new source for yuri when I found this site a year and a half ago or so. And thus I have stayed an avid fan of the genre ever since.
