We've already had Manhwa, which are Korean comics. Now we have Manhua, which are Chinese comics.

"Manhua (traditional Chinese: ??; simplified Chinese: ??; pinyin: Mànhuà) are Chinese comics originally produced in China. Possibly due to their greater degree of artistic freedom of expression and closer international ties with Japan, Hong Kong and the Republic of China on Taiwan have been the places of publication of most manhua thus far, often including Chinese translations of Japanesemanga."

Anyone know of any Chinese boys' love comics?

Hikaru is in love with his teacher, Shima. He expresses his love for him like any high school boy with a crush would; he attacks him in an empty classroom and has his way with him. Realizing just what he’s done Hikaru is humiliated and asks how he can atone for his actions. Instead of turning him in to the authorities, Shima decides Hikaru will be his “make-believe” lover until he graduates. Hikaru could not be more thrilled and so their make-believe relationship begins.

This is a really sweet, sexy, romantic story, which at times is also heartbreaking. Just from reading the synopsis of the story, it doesn’t seem like there would be a whole lot of depth to it. Two boys at a prep school fall for each other; one a loner and one a soon to be popular jock. Sounds kind of corny, right? This story is so much more than that and I devoured it completely in one sitting.

NETCOMICS publishes a lot of manhwa either online or in print.  Here is a link to all of the boys' love titles NETCOMICS currently publishes.  Probably the most well known Korean manhwa is Totally Captivated which is up to its fifth volume with a sixth on its way.  NETCOMICS allows readers to buy a chapter at a time online of many titles (for as cheap as 25 cents), most if not all are GloBL titles including titles from Yaoi Press and Dany&Dany to name a few.  It's a great way to introduce yourself to manhwa titles without having to shell out a lot of money.  I've read a few of theirs already and like any publisher, some I liked and some I didn't.  They do list the age rating so you know just how much dirtiness to expect and you may want to see if it shows a date completed so you know if it is just a short story or an ongoing series.

"June was an early publication featuring male/male stories in the tanbi style. People used to refer to the category of male/male relationships targeted at the female audience as June, but since that was a trade name for a magazine, that meaning of the term has fallen into disuse. The category has evolved and changed so much and the types of stories so varied that the entire category is now called BL by the industry and most fans. In some places, including Comiket, original stories are still called 'sousaku (original) June'."
