Where the boys (making out with other boys) are

Some interesting yaoi discussion going on at Cognitive Dissonance. Definitely not my field of expertise, but I have quite a few friends who are very much into "boy's love." Suffice to say it's one of those fandom-driven phenomenons where, if you don't "get" it, you don't get it. I don't get it. (The artwork's usually too spindly and sparse for my tastes.)

Since Del Rey is still a few volumes behind Japan with Tsubasa and xxxHOLiC, few English speakers may be aware that both titles were put on hold due to a CLAMP member taking ill. Fortunately, she's back now, but we don't know yet what impact it may have on the publishing schedule for these series.
