   I wish I knew more about it than I do, but the pricing on R1 release   
   yaoi titles is ridiculous. $10 is bad enough for regular manga, but $12   
   to $16 per book for a niche genre?   
      
   I generally only buy yaoi manga if I can get it for less than $10/book.   
      
   Earthian is the only one I consistently buy despite the price. The   
   printing quality on this one is really high, though. Not sure if that   
   makes it worth $15/book though.   
      
   Wild Rock was a good one-shot that I picked up recently. It was   
   actually far more amusing than I was expecting. Man's Best Friend is by   
   the same author, I may have to pick it up soon.   
      
   Don't forget to have them order Fake and Gravitation from Tokyopop.   
   These two are far more mainstream than most other yaoi titles, and I   
   enjoyed them both immensely (for completely different reasons -- I think   
   Murakami must be insane...).
