I TOTALLY agree with Aki on this! The amount of non-censored, good yaoi published in English is almost nothing compared to the amount scanlated. Especially the harder stuff. I still buy all the published stuff, even if I've read the scanlated things, but HATE it!
Also, I HATE it that even soft-soft stuff, like Our Kingdom, comes with HUGE printed on (so can't get rid of it) stickers saying: EXPLICIT CONTENT in a round, cut edges, black background with screaming white letters on it. Not only does it make me feel like a perv for reading it (when it is just simply a GOOD story), but it makes me embarrassed if someone sees it on my bookshelf! Then I pick up a shounen title like Kamikaze, with a naked huge boobed woman forced to strip and have sex by a sadist as a punishment when she screws up a mission, and there was no sticker or "warning" anywhere!
