Hello! There's passed quite some time since I last was here, editing the encyclopedia. And now, due to manga related school work I checked the genres for a select titles (all of them boys' love). And I spotted this after a few quick searches.

Published BL-titles in English not yet in the Encyclopedia:
  • You’re so cool

  • Allure
  • Because i’m a boy
  • Ichigenme…: the first class is civil law
  • J-boy by Biblos
  • The judged
  • Kissing
  • Landa series
  • Last portrait
  • Man’s best friend
  • The Moon and the sandals
  • Our everlasting
  • Pleasure dome
  • Sound of my voice
  • The summit
  • Sweet revolution
  • Thunderbolt boys: excite
  • Virtuoso di amore
  • Wagamama kitchen
  • Your honest deceit


BL-titles in the Encyclopedia not having a single genre:
  • Eternity
  • Not so bad
  • Roureville

  • Alchol, shirt and kiss
  • Almost crying
  • Antique bakery
  • Challengers
  • Clan of the Nakagamis
  • Dear myself
  • Embracing love
  • Flower of life
  • Gerard and Jacques
  • Golden Cain
  • Hands off!
  • Hybrid child
  • Jazz
  • Kimi shiruya: dost though know?
  • Level C
  • Lost boys
  • Loveholic
  • Lovely sick
  • My only king
  • Passion
  • Play boy blues
  • Poison cherry drive
  • Princess princess
  • Same cell organism
  • Seven
  • Shinobu kokoro: hidden heart
  • The sky over my spectacles
  • Solfege
  • Trash
  • Until the full moon
  • You and Harujion


At the moment I don't have the time to make any edits here, but if this is to any help of anyone in their editing spree, I'm glad.

Hahaha! Very Happy

I will put some of it in myself, but will take some time before I do that... So I thought I'd share with you, in case someone... (Regardless, it probably won't be coming around for me to have read all these series anyway, which hampers the ability to select good genres. Which I won't do.)

In this list, no shoujo-ai. My friend did those and from what I can find in that (partial) list,

GL-title without genres: Passion fruit
GL-titles not listed: Flower language, Sweet cream and red strawberries, Works

by the way... What happened to the "Not Manga but related" section? I've looked all over the website and I can't find it anywhere anymore. I have to extend precious effort and type in a specific manwha title in the search bar, and hope that I spelled it right.

The link was removed as an attractive nuisance, but the page still exists here. (I would show you the multiple threads on this, but the ANN Forums search engine is giving me insufficient memory errors.) BTW, it's "manhwa".

Found this thread when searching for J-boy, which still isn't in the encyclopedia (or I couldn't find it).

These titles (all in English) I couldn't find in the encyclopedia:
*Delivery Cupid (http://www.boysenberrybooks.com/books/deliverycupid/)
*J-Boy (http://www.junemanga.com/titles?n=49&t=123)
*L'Étoile Solitaire (http://www.junemanga.com/titles?n=91&t=211)
*Zesty! (http://yaoipress.com/products.htm - choose Zesty)

And these I'm not sure if they're in line with the site, but are mangas, so I decided to list them anyway.

* I want to be naughty (By Mei Sakuraga... the web link on the manga cover is to www.kittymedia.com, but that site just scares me. Full name is 'There are no boundaries when... I want to be naughty'.) I'd rather read about it on Amazon; http://www.amazon.com/Want-Be-Naughty-Mei-Sakuraga/dp/1598831348/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1217139460&sr=11-1.
* Love á la Carte (By Haruka Minami. Be Beatiful is the company logo, link http://bebeautifulmanga.com/ which currently is having issues) http://www.amazon.com/Love-Carte-Haruka-Minami/dp/193344021X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217139537&sr=1-1 works for basic info.

Of the two Passion Fruit works published in English, only one (Sweat & Honey) has any lesbian content and that's already been marked as such.
Since the "Passion Fruit" consists of short story anthologies by three different authors, it isn't really possible to give it genre tags - it makes far more sense to simply add them for the individual titles (and that's already been done).
