sulwenSo Kyou Kara Maoh (or Kyo Kara Maou, or any one of half a dozen other spellings) is officially the SLASHIEST THING EVER. It's the only thing I've ever seen where the ho!yay is actually intentional rather than incidental. It's like the writers sat down and said, ok, you want gay subtext? We'll GIVE you gay subtext!
A good example is the scene I just watched. Two male main characters are sitting in the desert at night, talking. One of them shivers and complains about the cold. My inner fangirl screams this at them: OMG CUDDLE! And, unlike pretty much all my other fandoms, they proceed to do so. And then one falls asleep in the other's arms. And THEN they get handcuffed together, a plot device that I will NEVER GET TIRED OF, no matter how many times I see it!
I know some people have a problem with such blatant fanservice, but I say that if it brings the boylove, then bring it on!
*is really, really spending too much time watching anime/reading manga lately*
