I'm not asking for details, but does anyone know about the mangas Legal Drug and Eerie Queerie? A friend of mine recently bought them and I'm a little concerned that he's reading them, but I've had a hard time finding any information on them.

Both blatantly shounen-ai. ^_^;; Well, I'm positive Eerie Queerie is (Ghost in Japan), and I'm pretty sure Legal Drug is as well. =/

I know eerie queerie is shounen-ai. Dun know about Legal Drug though, but CLAMP is known to do some shounen-ai.

I flipped through the first volume of Legal Drug, and it does seem to be patently shonen-ai. Whether that should cause you to worry depends on your friend, I suppose.

I'm sure I read on the net somewhere that Legal Drug was a shounen-ai title.

My friend has those as well. As everyone else said, Eerie Queerie is just.. blatant.
-__-

As for Legal Drug... well... the only kind of blatant stuff so far has been the dr. and the weird guy with the glasses and in the third book at the weird school. Yes.. I have read it. Do not ask why. -__- I first saw it and thought, "ooh.. clamp..." and then.. I dunno. :shrug: It could be worse though. :shivers:

Anywho. Yah you gots ta watch out for these things. <.< ... >.>

Considering Legal Drug is all about marijuana (and if you don't belive me, check the side bar logo), I'm pretty sure there is more to worry about there than shounen ai.

I'm pretty sure its not about marijuana (yeah, I know what's on the side bar). It's about two guys who work at a pharmacy. Then at night, they do some kind of supernatural work. I haven't read it though...but considering its Clamp, yeah, shonen-ai is a big thing with them. (My friend's a Clamp fan...I like some of their stuff, but I'm not big on it)

I know absolutely nothing about Eerie Querie.

Legal Drug = Definite shounen-ai overtones. A lot of CLAMP's work has those overtones, even if certain people politely ignore them.

Eerie Queerie = Weird shounen-ai. One of the male characters is possessed by the ghost of a girl, I believe, and that girl, of course, ends up with a crush on a boy. Hence the weird part. It's like pseudo-shounen-ai.

Neither is appropriate for young audiences, or for non-shounen-ai-fans.

The Title alone for Eerie Queerie should give some ppl hints about...that stuffs...

And Clamp started off as Yaoi Doujinshi writers... so...OF COURSE their stuffs will have that...filth in them...

If you don't want your friend reading these, Plan a sleep over at their house (if they are of the same gender as you) and while they are sleeping take the books and burn them..

SIMPLE NE?

------OR-------
you could just tell them how wierd those books are...


I know the annoyance of these type of things..my guy friend for some reason likes to buy a certain "can't talk about on CAA" title.. and it freaks ME out!!
