Me and my media team went to Tokyo, Japan last week (my first time in Japan), and we took one day specially for a "BL Day" where we went to Animate Cafe who is currently having Junjou Romantica's theme cafe (only in September!), visited bookstores that sell yaoi manga and doujins, visited an exclusive BL cafe but most importantly, we went to visit Libre Publishings where we talked about AarinFantasy forum members and they are aware of the site's content so we talked about legality issues too. From AarinFantasy site's feedbacks, I've mentioned to them that it will be great to make more English published works and more accessible for international market. They were so kind to give us the latest BExBOY and GOLD magazines, cute shark character book and manga of Dakaretai Otoko Ichii Ni Odosarete Imasu.
Anyways, I had tons of fun in Japan even though it is typhoon season. How shall I say... it was really a Life Changing Experience for me (yes, I said it in capital letter)... not only the BL Day part but just knowing or visiting Tokyo alone... that I have seen, understand and learned many things. So if you like to know more about this particular BL Day in Japan (with more exclusive info and pics like what more we talked about with Libre, places to recommend etc), do stay tuned by end of this year for AarinSecret magazine! I will be writing a long one there
Important: Please don't worry that the site will be getting into trouble since we talked about legal issues with Libre. They have an understanding towards it but they do not support illegal sharing in any way, of course. It is more like a fan or acquaintance's visit to discuss about things, not business.
