Well, apparently there aren't too many in Japan, either.

Honestly, the frequent appearance of the errant nipple has been the biggest setback for me in this genre, so if some gay men are willing to step up and illustrate women as normal looking and men as Viggo Mortensen looking, then, heck, meet your newest lover of manga! Confession: this is my first manga so it took me a while to adjust to reading back to front pagewise and right to left cellwise, but it was worth the effort.
