Wanna know the truth?
I'm a real life Fujoshi. I love to read lgbt with a very strong preference for boys love.
I'm not japanese but I love the Asian Culture.
I also read other stuff (genres), of course, but I take romance seriously in everything I read cos I'm really trying to escape from my relatively romance-empty life and so I live vicariously through main characters in books, animes, cartoons and movies.
That said, I'm  also a big fan of Reverse harem.
