I think I saw the first Kizuna OVA before I read any yaoi manga, so that was probably my introduction into yaoi. However, the first manga titles that I bought were Only the Ring Finger Knows and Golden Cain.

Continuing with the reposting of my old Snupin fics. As with Phoenix Rising, I'm not sure exactly how many chapters this will run as I'm still dividing the story up into LJ-sized posts, but the story is complete, and I'll correct the headers when I'm done.

I only recently read Love Control by Ai Hasukawa, but it's quickly become one of my all-time favorite yaoi manga titles! The premise is that interior designer Yamashiro is annoyed that his client Okumura is always flirting with him. He thinks that Okumura is merely toying with him, and as revenge, he decides to make Okumura fall in love with him for real, to reverse their positions so that he'll be in the one in control, playing with Okumura's feelings. But as one might expect, the hunter becomes the hunted, and Yamashiro finds himself falling for Okumura in earnest.

I used to be a huge figure skating fan, but my interest has slowly been waning ever since the 6.0 judging system was replaced by the more complicated and confusing system where points are allocated to each element a skater performs, which was instituted to combat corrupt judging following the 2002 Olympic Winter Games figure skating scandal. I'm not entirely convinced that the new system really eliminates bad judging, and it might have been better to try and reform the old system, which was much more popular with the fans, since it was easier to for them to follow what was going on and think, "Well, I would have given that skater a 5.9 instead of a 5.7." And of course there was the excitement of seeing a skater earn the coveted perfect 6.0 with a stellar performance--somehow, seeing a skater earn, say, 212.38 points just doesn't generate the same level of excitement. This probably had a factor in the huge ratings decline of figure skating from its heyday, along with disillusionment about the judging system, and the retirement from competition by the more popular stars like Michelle Kwan.
