Apparently, any manga created by a female is meant to be interpretted as secretly having BL codes, no matter how much a character's sexuality is bashed over our heads, and the male mangaka work it in.
Seriously, contrary to popular belief, I do NOT read anything based on what kind of pairings there are, and couldn't care less about that(it's just the WAY 99.9% of m/m is written in canon...if they're coding as a girl, I'm just going to read something where it actually IS a girl, unless it's set up as a parody), and I've read enough light shounen-ai that I know perfectly well what BL coding looks like, thankyouverymuch.
see, I don't mind being told to watch for BL codes...as long as I'm ALSO told to look for f/f codes(which are much more prominent in manga than most want to admit) and m/f, and expected to acknowledge them just as much.
