Vampire Knight (ヴァンパイア騎士, Vanpaia Naito?) is a shoujo manga by Matsuri Hino. In Japan, Vampire Knight entered serialization in January 2005 in LaLa magazine, and entered serialization in North America in the June 2006 issue of Shojo Beat magazine. In recent issues of LaLa magazine, it has been announced that the manga will be adapted into an anime series. It will premiere on the April 7, 2008, and will use the voice cast from the drama CD.
Read the first 20 or so chapters of the manga, skipped the Shizuka Hio Arc and went straight to the main arc. All i can say is that from chapter 30+ onwards, it gets awesome.
Yaoi (やおい) is a publishing genre which focuses on male/male relationships and is marketed at females. The genre originated in Japan and encompasses manga, anime, novels and dōjinshi. In Japan, this genre is called "Boys' Love" or simply "BL", and "yaoi" as a genre name is mostly used by western fans. Yaoi has spread beyond Japan; yaoi material is available in the United States, as well as other Western and Eastern nations worldwide.
Yaoi began in the doujinshi markets of Japan in the late 1970s, mostly as parody works; but male same-sex love had previously been presented in shonen-ai, june and tanbi works. Yaoi authors and fans are careful to distinguish yaoi from “gay manga”, which is created by and for gay men.
The main characters in yaoi usually conform to the stereotypes of the older, masculine seme who pursues the younger, feminine uke.
Incest
QUOTE
Incest is defined as sexual intercourse or any form of sexual activity between closely related persons, especially within the immediate family. The term incest can include sexual activity between family members of either gender, and can include family members of any age. Which family members constitute those covered by the incest prohibition is determined by the society in which the persons live. Some societies consider it to include only those related by birth or those who live in the same household; other societies further include those related by adoption, marriage, or clan.[1]
Incest can be either consensual or non-consensual. When it is non-consensual, it is a form of sexual abuse, and if forced intercourse is involved, it is a form of rape. When an adult engages in incest with a child it is known as intrafamilial child sexual abuse
