Today is a special episode because we have a guest on the show Tao, who will chat with me about BL Theme and Manga piracy ethics.  Guest intro: I’m Tao from the US. I have been a BL fan for a long time. Started BL with ships and then moved into reading original BL. I started scanlating when I realized there were a lot of great series that others didn’t know about and wanted to share or have people to talk about them with, before picking up some legal work thanks to skills I honed as a scanlator. Had a brief break from BL but am now trying to get back into the community and catching up on the scene. So this episode will be long but I hope you enjoy our conversation.  Manga mentioned on this episode: Embracing Love by Yuka Nitta (drama, Adult industry) Junjo Romantica by Shungiku Nakamura (age gap) Beast and Feast by Norikazu Akira (police/yakuza) Metro メトロ by HONGO Chika (age gap) Papa Datte, Shitai パパだって、したい by Seo Serina (Drama, family) The Revolutionary α 革命のα by Kotaru Kashima (Omegaveres) Haga-kun wa Kamaretai 羽賀くんは噛まれたい by Sakishita Senmu (Omegaveres) ‘I'm threatened by the number one guy I want to be held’ 抱かれたい男1位に脅されています。by Hashigo Sakurabi (actor, drama) Kashikomarimashita, Destiny/Yes, My Destiny かしこまりました、デスティニーby Sachimo (omegaverse, butlers) Gin no Kutsu銀のくつ by Shinomiya Shino (family, slice of life) Koketsu Dining　虎穴ダイニング by Moto Haruhira (slice of life, beastman) Super Lovers by Abe Miyuki (family, drama) Sasra by Unit Vanilla (novel, reincarnation) Flesh & Blood by Matsuoka Natsuki (novel, time travel, pirates) MADK by Suzuri Ryo (supernatural, horror) Listener of *It’s A Yaoi Recipe* can get 15% off of any Manga at The Isle of Manga www.theisleofmanga.co.uk Use Promo Code: *REBEKAH* for a 15% discount at the checkout.
