I normally buy my Yaoi online as the only comic store in my area no longer stocks Manga. I have a budget each month to spend on entertainment re: books.

I love to have the physical book in my hand but will buy ebooks or read online for those I cant get in English

I buy yaoi manga once in a while. The bookstore here doesn't carry anything more than Loveless or Betrayal Knows My Name. I tend to purchase my books off of Amazon, since you can find good deals for them there. I've bought books for 99 cents and payed like $1.50 for shipping, which is a lot cheaper than paying cover price.

I buy yaoi manga if I find it at the right time and if i know of it or started reading it in the book store. I could have gotten the first issue of Punch Up, but I didn't...; n ; Maybe next time!

 

I have the full set of La Esperanca (I can't put the C in the french's cillia...; n ; ) and a book called From Up Above, but only the first volume. ; n ; I have not found the other volumes, I was at an anime convention.

 

long story short, I do when i get the chance!

Soon I will buy this kind of book genre but need to find first a place to hide it.

Who knows what will happen if my mother accidentally reads it(even just the summary). Lol

I buy yaoi at least those series I am a real fan of. (not many anyway)

Since living alone I am not having a problem to "hide" them no one would care (not even my parents did back then)

I used to buy mangas (it was 10 dollars each) until that chain store closed. People are no longer buying CDs so they shut all these stores down, and nowadays you buy online. I miss the old days!!! Cuz then you can take one from the shelf, read it a bit and see if you'd like it or not. Argh! Besides they're not the best investments. I managed to sold all the mangas through ebay for like 5 bucks for the lot... the better investments are DVDS. I buy BL DVDs more.

 

I don't even have any comic stores around where I live that carry mangas ): the closest one is two hours away...

I'd love to have at least one complete collection, preferably in Japanese. Moreover, I don't like reading manga online, most of these free mangas sites carry viruses and always attack my computer.

Oh guys consider urself really lucky and be happy, in my country its a complete taboo, they even filter most of the website containing adult stuff. We should use proxy to get access to them. I wish I could buy online but international shopping website don't support our region. all we have here r free reading/downloading site, that as I said many of them r already filter.

So im really greatful to those who provide free links and i never could appreciate them enough.

Well, in my country is prohibited, so i don't have any.. But the yaoi author also have the shonen ai or shoujo books so i buy that one here.. In some event, the local mangaka who create doujinshi sold they dojinshi but i prefer the pretty draw so i rarely buy

I regularly buy yaoi manga. I even have the guts to buy them at actual stores. I used to buy every month yaoi mangas but most of the series i am following now are released very slowly.I do have some yaoi anime in dvds, mostly popular anime like junjou romantica or gravitation.

I have recently bought Seven Days on dvd, as well as the main 3 Takumi kun dvds and the behind the scenes dvds. I had make a amazon.jp account to get them and they were far too expensive but worth it! They are the first I've bought though. I don't tend to read manga or watch much anime so haven't bought any of that only read online a few mangas. The main problem for me in buying them is shipping is so expensive it can double the cost of anything bought which when you are poor like me means a lot of saving up.

I can't, for the life of me, buy yaoi goods. Though I really prefer reading it from books it's just that my parents are very nosy. But I'll buy it when I'd bought a house someday.

This is just me but I always feel awkward buying yaoi in person. xD I usually try to purchase mine online if I can. They tend to be less expensive online than in the stores.

Feeling awkward while buying yaoi in person makes me feeling awkward. 'Cause I I never felt like that while buying a yaoi. Actually the only time I felt like that was while buying "Futari Ecchi" in 6th Grade. <__>

 

But yes, I bought and sold yaoi manga (novels)/ DvD's.

 

I prefer to read manga on paper sometimes, but sometimes I just want to put the books away an read them on my tablet (or PC).

 

But at the end i think I have around 120-30 Yaoi at the moment and 2 DvD's (Gakuen Heaven & Haru wo Daite Ita )
