I think this is one chapter out of several stories in a book. Both the seme and uke play some sport, basketball maybe? The uke is taller and bigger than the seme and seems to be one-sidedly in love with him, former has black and latter has light hair. One day, the uke starts crying (probably related to his feelings for the seme) and the seme sees him, consoles him (?) and they end up going out.
The sex scene was kinda funny cause they had to find a position that would suit their height difference xD
Please help me find it owo

http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/puchi_puri/ reminded me of some other BL story, but I don't know its name or other stuff aside from it being a teenie and a kid. The former has light hair and is a bit insecure/angsty/emotionally closed off I think
Please help me find it~ (=・ω・=)

This is gonna be a long post so yeah... you've been warned xD
I once heard that statistically, one in 10 people is gay. So I was thinking about manga and Japan today... and wondered how the fictional homosexual population (in manga that is, not counting novels, movies, etc.) compares to the real one in Japan. Like .... are there actually more fictional gay Japanese people than real ones?
( ̄∇ ̄") I'm just talking about the men, as BL is more popular so there are far more of those stories.
But then I did a bit of research... even though it's probably more like 5% are gay (counted in the US, I'm just adopting it for Japan), and even that is an overestimation, that still leaves us with about 3 million gay men. (I took 127 mil population, subtracted women according to men/women ratio, divided by 20 and rounded down from 3.08 to 3 mil cause overestimation)
So that's when I realized.... there's no way there are more fictional ones ( ̄∇ ̄") as there would have to be about 1 mil BL stories (I'm taking 3 gay men per story as average, most often there are gay friends or rivals too)....
I read on a site that there are about 4000 mangaka in Japan working fulltime so (I have no way of estimating accurately lol) let's just generously say there are all in all 1000 BL writers, including the ones not drawing anymore and the ones drawing part time or using their leisure time. Then each would have to draw/have drawn already 1000 stories ( ̄∇ ̄") my god this thought seems so idiotic at this point XD
But even so, I'm curious when the amount of fictional ones would surpass the real one... like in a couple hundred years when the real ones stay constant cause yanno humans die but the fictional ones keep increasing ...
Does anyone here know how many BL manga stories there actually are and how many are produced each year? xD this topic is oddly interesting to me XD

Where is that stats based? I highly doubt 1 in every 10 men are gay in Iraq.

Even if someone chooses to get married to someone of the opposite sex, and their country might stigmatise, and torture those that are gay, doesn't mean people aren't gay. You are born gay, just others have greater freedom and respect in order to being able to live truthfully, others have to live a lie.

Shit I triggered 2 responses. Time to dip

That's another way to say it.
![](https://pic1.mangapicgallery.com/r/avatar/98/u248191_50x50.jpg?2)
I'm pretty sure that 10% (as someone else pointed out) from OLD stats is way off base. In the 70's that was OUT gay people. Very very few were willing to admit to being gay.
There are still a LOT of people unwilling to come out. If there is less than a solid 25% (both out and not), I'd be really surprised. This goes for pretty much everywhere. I'd be willing to bet MOST places have a much larger gay (and lesbian) population than statistics would show because most places still have a high percentage who are firmly in the closet.
If you're talking about how many OUT gay men there are versus what's shown in BL... I don't know because a huge percentage of the BL I read has at least one of the members still in the closet (and the other identifying as "straight except for you"). So...

If you are really interested in this, then your own country should have government data available on their affiliated websites about those who identify as LGB and social attitudes.
It might be interesting to compare how in your own country progress has been made in people feeling able to identify as LGB, and maybe disparities between age groups. Now, considering that people from Iraq could and do claim asylum due to being persecuted for being gay, might not be able to be open about their sexual orientation meaning any polls aren't exactly going to be truthful when people are scared to "come out" in case they get killed by their families.

Lool your estimate reminded me of this http://news.gallup.com/poll/6961/what-percentage-population-gay.aspx a lot of people guessed the same xD

You have too much free time ..

That's a great link. Thank you!
I think because there are still so many unable or unwilling to admit to being gay (and let's not even talk about being bi/pan!), the public perception is based on faulty data and a lot of anecdotal evidence. I wouldn't trust the Family Research Council any farther than I could throw them (which is... not at all). They're going to skew shit. Same goes for any other private organization. I'd still trust surveys more than "professional" statistics because so many of those are based on assumptions going in. (Also, I took statistics and I dun' trust them one bit. You can make them say ANYthing.)
![](https://pic1.mangapicgallery.com/r/avatar/b8/u128381_50x50.jpg?2)
Ikr, it's really difficult to find objective, accurate and trustworthy statistics and even surveys... cause you can never know whether they really represent the whole or not, whether someone purposely or accidentally manipulated the result (goes for both the people giving and handling the data), etc... but it's still better than nothing xD

As per definition, I don't think they are. However, some surveys just had the criteria of having had sex/sexual interaction with the same gender... as the boundaries aren't always very clear, it was easier to group bi- and homosexual people together I guess
However, those three expressions are mutually exclusive (I think). You can only be one of them xD like orange has both red and yellow in it but it can't be called either of those
![](https://pic1.mangapicgallery.com/r/avatar/98/u248191_50x50.jpg?2)
Haha! That's a brilliant way of putting it.
Bi people are, in fact...
bi. As in both male and female, hence "bi." Neither gay, not straight. The orange, as opposed to red or yellow (Like peace_yow said above).
In a lot of statistics that discuss the number of gay or straight people in a sample do not question or include bisexual people. (I read one study in fact, that specifically excluded anyone who said they identify as bi.)
Then again, some people insist bisexuality doesn't exist at all. (I've been told, to my face, that I don't exist. >.>) Erg.

Hey can you help me find something? I don't know where I saw it (like the site, I'm not sure if it was just for manga or if it was a hentai/porn site xD).
The plot it: girl breaks up with boyfriend; girl's younger brother, who has a crush on the guy, proposes to him to go out, he can crossdress to look like his sis; they do that and have sex while the younger one is still in girl clothes with wig n stuff. Guy realizes he has fallen and the next time they have sex, he undresses the other and admires his body, being like " you're attractive af like that, you don't need to look like a girl" or so. The younger one's hair is black and the other one's is light.
Please help me find it~! ╥﹏╥ >w<

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the one you're looking for, but they both have similar plot, waaay too similar. Check this out ^^ http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/i_fell_in_love_with_my_girlfriends_brother/

Waah silver diamond is in the top 5 shounen ai again >w< one of my favorites owo so precious those two~
Any silver diamond lovers here? *raises hand for high five*
(☆▽☆)ノ
![](/images/home/manga-img-anonymous-30.png)
I used to be a fan until I read through that stuff which was classified as shounen ai didn't contain an ounce of boy love. We really need a bromance tag.
![](https://pic1.mangapicgallery.com/r/avatar/b8/u128381_50x50.jpg?2)
I think they're a bit too far in for it to pass as bromance xD or maybe our definitions of bromance are different lol. They're so into and devoted to each other, definitely seems like platonic love in a romantic sense to me... btw have you read silver diamond gaiden? That "yaoi" tag, I was like "frghhaaaaaa don't fucking get my hopes up ok *cries*" XD
![](https://pic1.mangapicgallery.com/r/avatar/b8/u128381_50x50.jpg?2)
I really like 2 of her other ones, shuuten unknown and that (uh forgot the name xD) one with the devil or so in the cave. The one with the 2 childhood friends in high school was a bit too dark for me *sniffs* pwq and I haven't started the Cinderella one cause incomplete manga can be torture XD I love how the couples always have that devoted and special to each other feel to them (☆▽☆) (≧∀≦)
![](/images/home/manga-img-anonymous-30.png)
There are only two chapters out yet right? Really hope to see some sex but I doubt it haha. The thing that disappointed me the most with this author though isn't the lack of BL content. It's the art. It was so so beautiful at first but it's not the same in the more recent chapters of her works. Check out that Koori.. something. It was breathtaking at first but now it's too different and lacks that detail and charm.

Does anyone know BL stories that are as cute as that one? It just seems so nice... how a lot of the characters seem to accept same sex couples for example.
So basically looking for cute, fluffy BL with nice accepting characters without unnecessary drama where the leads cherish each other :3 help me please~ >w<
