I've found most of the supposed "Gateways" into BL to be pretty awful. Gravitation, Loveless, Junjou. To be perfectly honest, a lot of the BL output is pretty awful and even today a lot of the problems I used to have with it, still exist. Still so much rape into love. Bleh.

I think the best "Gateway" is to sort of stumble on it organically in the course of normal anime/manga viewing/reading. For instance, watching Naruto and getting on the Naruto/Sasuke train.

But even then, as far as quality and lack of crappy tropes goes, people like what they like. Some people will move on to bigger and better things, while other cling to Junjou Romantica or 50 Shades of Grey or whatever it is that tickles their pickle and nothing anyone says will change that.

My initiation into the BL world was from reading doujinshi of shonen manga's.

Fan created content is so much more varied and looks nicer than most BL I've come across.

NAYRT

You do realize that a large proportion of current BL manga artists started out doing doujinshi, right? And some continue to do so - Yoneda Kou, one of the most popular artists right now, has a large back catalog of KHR doujin for instance.

....And that contradict's anon's point how? Some people are better fanwork creators than original work creators.
