If you ever see me saying "we need more CEOs in BL" then this acc has been HACKED. We don't need more nepo babies with bad attitudes & tailored suits, what we need are more characters with blue collar and/or skilled labor jobs right now.

One of my favorite things in stories is when characters have extremely niche, highly specialized & specific jobs we don't typically hear about. I read Yes No Maybe YEARS ago but the couple still has the most unique jobs I've seen (news anchor & stop-motion artist)

Read Kono Koi wa Ofureko de! & really liking it so far. Some elements remind me of Ask & You Will Receive, but old man yaoi. The ML is MC’s boss, like Shinobu he’s shabby-looking & doesn’t really put his heart into work, but at night he’s this legendary top every guy at the gay bar wants.

I saw a moot of my moot being excited over having a baby & they're only 19 😭 Ofc I'm happy for them but man when I saw that I had to close the app as a defense mechanism. I'm in my mid-20s & I still feel like a child, just the idea of a kid at 19's too much

Real sexy, highly erotic BL manga for the real perverts (me) that had me blushing & giggling Names: - Second Time's The Charm - Under My Skin - Junai Dropout - Liquor & Cigarette

hyel-nim has been posting art related to their new work <신세계에게> (new world order) each day as a countdown to release and this one IS SOOO GOOOOOOOD AAH #신세계에게 #NewWorldOrder

Coming soon! ✨ Touch Within the Abyss Deluxe Edition by Moyori Mori A special deluxe edition of the hit manga featuring exciting extras. Hitman Chinatsu once failed to pull the trigger on his target and it cost him his brother's life.

The irony of Yugo Kobayashi being a former doujin-ka drawing BL TenniPuri ships when its fandom consist of mainly dudebros so the fan content is drier than the Sahara desert whilst all the other big sports series get regular traction & fanart from their fujos fans.

They say a bad ending ruins a series, I say what actually ruins a series is releasing a NEXT GENERATION sequel that can never live up to expectations because it's riding on its predecessor's coattails, or a sudden cheap melodramatic continuation for a series that ended YEARS ago.

need that

I’m curious, do people consider the epilogue as the actual conclusion for a story or the series ends at the main story finale? For me it depends on which concludes the story better, like I don’t consider Yona as finished.

Whenever somebody on this hellsite makes BL the punching bag & do the whole "all BL is toxic rape", imo the solution isn't to suggest good titles but actually doubling down. Why should somebody not pure of heart deserve nice things?

saw this on tumblr and it's literally so true woah

I've muted most of my Twitter notis so it's very peaceful but the people on there are genuinely obnoxious. I was talking about how I'm jealous of Europeans cause the environment over there is great for fostering multilingualism & someone had to qrt me to laugh at me. If I'm wrong just educate me

I get how annoying HQ fans look whenever another popular shonen ends badly but ngl, as long as another mangaka fumble Haikyuu fans will always be part of something. Can you blame us for bragging when Furudate beating the odds was truly a miracle, it's been 6 years of constant validation baby.

So I heard CSM is ending horribly? You know what series just ended & had the loveliest, most heartfelt conclusion? Oh Our Sunny Days they could never be you, most satisfying ending to have come out recently *by far*

I'm sorry but the way the "feminine vs masculine ukes" arguments reveal how far removed a lot of people are from queer spaces, these aren't random words you can throw in nilly-willy, they're important terminologies in the context you're using them for.

I hate how people use the word "feminine" for BL characters when it's an actual term in the queer community & they use it wrong!!! The word you're looking for is "bishonen", and for starters a lot of characters ppl claim as "feminine" don't even classify as a bishie.

An ongoing interest in the history and cultures of the Mongolian steppes and Iran, as well as curiosity about the upcoming Science Saru anime adaptation led me to the manga A Witch's Life in Mongol. I'm enjoying it and I think it's worth your time.

Heated Rivalry is a nuanced thing but lately the emotion that's coming out on top is that corpos are allowed to feed us sex and queerness through its eyes but my artist friends are getting their groceries snatched out of their hands by those same entities

happy international women’s day 💛💛 to celebrate, i made a list with favorites mangas (and one manhwa) of mine that covers different feminist themes and, in some way or another, left a mark in me

which incheol energy are you radiating today

Happy International Women's Day!!! I find so much comfort & strength in my favorite female characters, that no matter age, sexuality, circumstances, or the voices belittling their worth, they'll still push through & have the courage to choose themselves & their happiness.

Read the first 2 volumes of Yang Can't Live Alone & I enjoyed it, don't have much to say though. This has the same notes as Isso Anata in that another baddie has fallen victim to low standards, all the men she dated were bums. I like the ML tho so I like it better than Isso Anata

Idk about everyone else, but tracking websites/apps are so inconvenient when you want to track your reading both by volume & chapter. That’s why spreadsheets are the most optimal for me, it’s easier to customize for consistency, and I don’t need the extra features.

Potentially controversial opinion but can brands stop making their social media accounts have a personality to appear #relatable. Best case they just come across as cringy because they're larping as a hip young person & not actually one, worst case they're so rude to customers.

As I get older I'm coming to increasingly radical views like "you have to do things to get good at them" and "you have to think about problems to solve them"

Korean authors stop putting an amnesia arc in the side stories when they run out of ideas challenge I blame Kieta Hatsukoi for this cause ever since I read the manga, I've noticed this trope way more & I can't stand it. And they add nothing to the story!!!

Pppanghouse getting asked about the age gap in a first of summers...they're so real for this

my darlings

We finally have the cover for Sensei no Kinyobi (Teacher’s Friday) by Dayoo’s. It's about two teachers who meet on a dating app and agree to see each other every Friday, but things get a little complicated when they end up working at the same school.

I need to stop checking out series purely because someone advertised it purely based on hype moments, aura, sex scenes & how hot the characters are. It's incredible how pretty much every rec I got from Tik Tok is a miss, should have learned my lesson

there it is

I’m studying for my exam so I’ll be less active for the next few weeks.

My daughter & her gigantic bald head oh how I love you 🥰

This is my bias talking but I genuinely think people who leave negative comments about Our Sunny Days as monsters. Look at my whimsy joyful bald-headed daughter, just staring at her brings a smile to my face

My IRL friend that I've mentioned a few times found my Twitter account, why is the BL community so small😭

Constantly thinking about this incheol... he's just so breedable

Thank you for addressing our concerns. We hope you keep your word moving forward.

I say this as nicely as possible, I fear a lot of people have been leaning into TERF rhetorics by implying that female mangaka that write for a female audience are morally superior, and that has led to so many creators getting away with being horrible people.

MangaOne has revealed that the writer of “Act Age” Tatsuya Matsuki is writing the series “Seisou no Shinrishi” under the name of Yatsunami Itsuki. Matsuki was arrested for assault on a middle school student August 2020, and subsequently received a guilty verdict (1 year and 6 months in prison.)

Not so fun update, it turns out Shogakukan’s Manga One department didn’t just employ one child rapist, they employed TWO. Throw every single one of them in jail too

ICYMI we’re finally getting the first volume of "I’ll See You At Ebisu Studios" by Nishu in English on March 22! It’s a workplace BL set in an anime studio. If you can, please consider supporting the English release! It could help bring over more self-published BLs in English print 🩷

"They were girls who went to school to learn, with hopes and dreams for their future," Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai said. "Today, their lives were brutally cut short.” Read more: https://wapo.st/4r7izC7

Everyone say thank you to the animator at studio ENGI drawing him with one hand cause he’s way bulkier than in the manga lmao The way the episode just zoom ins on his chest for no reason 😭 #theyknowwhattheyredoing

Reading fiction depicting arts & artists is not for the weak (and the ones in the know) because they’ll glaze a character as having unique tastes or exceptional prodigious writing and then they’ll have the most basic taste & their works are shit from a butt.

Hobby accounts bragging about not commenting anything political in fear of “ruining the vibes” are so obnoxious I swear, you are not important enough for it to ruin your life you’re just a cowardly piece of shit

I don’t know why I’m first hearing about this from a famous JAV actress turned videogame content creator, but this is the first I’m hearing of this really horrific story and SIX YEAR COVERUP by Shogakukan (CW: sexual abuse). And it’s not like the perpetrator is even famous. Are there others who are?

I’m so sick of hearing about mangaka being pedophiles & child rapists over and over and over again. How tf do you “accidentally” hire a child rapist, the concept of one of the biggest publishers in Japan not doing criminal background checks for their employees
