HK airport bookstore is the most open airport bookstore for gays in Asia?

I am not sure. But at least, it seems like that to me. I found two English gay magazines(GT and Attitude) and two HK gay magazines(Good Guy and Achilles) at the same bookstore. Achilles is targetted to gym-goers. But if it's solely devoted to body building does it have to show so many men with so little clothes? I doubt it.

Japanese gay novels in English

Several weeks ago, I came across a few gay literatures of Japan in English at one secondhand bookstore. One is Comrade Loves of the Samurai by Saikaku Ihara and the other is Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima. That is selective stories from Saikaku Ihara's " The great mirror of male love " and easier to read so I'm reading the book while commuting. I also bought two more books of Ihara, Scheming World and Life of an amorous man . What an unexpected suprise! Even when I visited Japan this summer, I couldn't find those books.
