It was so difficult to choose, 5 votes honestly saved my ass 
too many good options 3 would have been impossible 
Edit: F&B and KKM being in the lead feels like it should be telling us something about our age

I’m feeling so much nostalgia reading this thread 
Remembering things that I’ve read or watched >10 years ago.
Also thanks everyone for recommendations. An ever growing wishlist grows even more. I hope I’ll read all of this someday

F&B’s advantage is that there’s so much helpful material already over on WK, which makes it a good pick. 
If KKM wins, I’ll have to also watch the anime and read the manga, for nostalgic reasons. 
I’ll be reading 美しい彼 regardless of whether it wins or not - it’s kinda the whole reason this club started and I’m desperate to get into it!
Sad that 心を半分残したままでいる 1 hasn’t received any votes yet, that would have been my 6th pick if we had more votes. Already bought the book since I liked the premise, so it will be read at some point.

Literal clickbait.
It’s fine in that regard, yes. 
Honestly… past 35 I have stopped caring if people find me odd. Honestly, if guys can do it, why shouldn’t we as well? I am not hurting anyone. (That reminds me: A guy tried to nanpa me in the BL section once… that was awkward. )

This morning, I was trying to remember how I even got started with BL and I think, potentially, it was like shoujo (I mean, there was always at least 1 gay person with at least a hinted at love interest… at least afai remember) → visual key / stuff like Weiß Kreuz → doujinshi/BL 
anyone remember Weiß kreuz? 
Which reminds me, that was also the time of fanmade AMVs…

Bought it! Thank you for the heads up!

I started caring less, but that’s more like I went from having panic attacks in public down to being extremely self conscious. Honestly, that woman I mentioned is goal.
Now that is also someone who doesn’t care. True dedication to the craft.
But not goal, because he is annoying, contrasting the lady not bothering anyone.

If you end up starting it in November/December, please let me know; I may be able to read with you!
Go, F&B, go! (I’ll still be happy if KMM/something else wins, haha. Just gotta cheer for your team, right?)

one step at a time. 
Yes. Honestly, I thought he was gay, so it took me a while to realize what he wanted… and then I couldn’t get rid of him. Luckily, getting older also means, I almost never get bothered by men anymore.

Will do! 
Wow, that takes me back!
I loved the Wolf’s Rain AMVs, even though the anime broke me. Darcia…
The BL vibes were strong between Toboe and Tsume.

A manga that would have been an excellent suggestion just occured to me so I’m writing it here now and hopefully I’ll remember to add it to a nomination next time

There were some guys in a college town near where I grew up who would go to the gay bar to hit on women. Their “reasoning” was there was less competition at that bar

Just a small update: everyone wanted book type included in the nomination list (done!), but nothing else reached 50%, so this poll is now closed.

Another little update: most people wanted voting to be open for a week, and taking @Naphthalene’s suggestion into account, the vote for nominations will run from a Saturday to the following Sunday.

I was kind of interested in this club, but now I see that most of the nominations are novels and pretty much all of them are level 30+ RIP

Once this voting period ends and a the lowest-voted books get chopped out, you should nominate something you’d be interested in reading!

It’s a long shot (3 votes behind) but my nomination is a LV25 manga 
(The 女装 one)

I don’t see any votes from @obscureniche, so that could turn into a 2 votes behind situation. Just think of how close to a tie we are.
