Heh - I presume you'll end up reviewing them, and then discussing titles? I'm unlikely to have read them anyway, as I don't like most yaoi/BL, despite enjoying a fair amount of slash fan fiction. This is largely because a) fixed sex/gender roles (very common in BL) bring me out in hives b) I don't usually like the art style (too many angular pretty boys) and c) nowhere near enough plot. Two of the manga titles I read, Silver Diamond and Loveless, have BL elements (e.g. gratuitous hugging sequences :) ), but it's not the main point of the story.

(oh, and if you get confused about how to read manga, I have some links somewhere which analyse panel order and so forth. I spent my first few volumes confused over right-to-left, top-to-bottom, and ended up going round in spirals!)
