The worst question to ask a BL manhwa reader: What's your top 3? This is such a cruel question! 😱

Didn't get to read as much compared to 2023 (busy year this year), but I got to complete and discover lots of stories this year nonetheless. This is not the most comprehensive list of completed works, but ones I've enjoyed this year. Maybe I'll write out my 2025 TBR soon~

Title: Hotel Phryne Author & Art: Studio Sibo Exhilarating, Thrilling, Reflective and Sweet! Had such a good time reading this, every chapter had its own twist and turns and surprises yet still remained grounded in the characters.

keying in all the stories I’ve read on anilist and wow, there are some stories I have no recollection of having read it and some of them, I let out an audible awe (I need to make a plan to re read them)

Said starter pack is here, btw. 💁 go.bsky.app/4V9Rhto

does anyone have that one story that you love but don’t have to heart to read it again. mine’s murderer llewellyn 😭😭 my heart can’t endure it again~

my boysssss 🥹🥹

I demand a sequel to Koi no Tsuru wa Hanarerarenai!! I need 6 more volumes!! BL, Kyūdō, First Love and beautiful art!

I should open an anilist account… it’s been harder to keep track

Title: 40 Made ni Shitai 10 no Koto Author & Artist: Mamita Age is an odd thing, at times it feels liberating to hit a certain age and at times, it feels like an imprisonment. But at the end of the day, the big question is: what do you want or hope to have experienced by the end of your life?

Title: Just Something I've Heard Author: onwoozoo Art: seolang A lovely and cute read! Such a well paced series too. The beach sequence and the moment at the playground between Woojin & Jaehyun are moments I always return to.

OH MY GOD FREAKING FINALLY 😭🥹

one of the most beautiful chapter openings of hirayasumi 💛💛 in love

Just finished rereading this, will probably do a longer post on it soon.

mangas with disability representation — a thread

I like them both!! It honestly just depends on my mood but colouring usually isn’t a factor when I’m considering what to read on a day to day basis.

I’ve always wanted a long running medical drama series. Either set in a clinic or hospital, and featuring a large cast of characters as well.

From Points of Three. I haven’t delved much into BDSM in BL/Yaoi, but this stands out in my mind.

contemplating on rereading Red Candy. missing them a little.

Title: Romance ni wa Hodo Tooi Author & Artist: Amamiya Tender & beautiful. Amamiya’s art feels so delicate yet sharp and exact. Because of that, you feel like your heart is beating at the same time during the moments of romantic tension and comedic releases as well.

Pre-order here: a.co/d/7dcazm3 This is a US Amazon link. Search for the title "Couples: Akahachi Short Manga Collection" on your country's Amazon!

Title: Labradorescence Author & Artist: ymz Such a delicate tale. The art is incredibly atmospheric, you can almost hear the trees rustling. The story simply softly dissolves, subtly revealing its characters like watercolours on a page.

Share a crush you have, no explanation.

Title: Red Candy Author & Artist: Hanse Damn. They’re such a perfect pair. But I’m getting ahead of myself. To start, I’m amazed on how well this story was able to shift gears and tap onto different “genres” from drama to comedy, action to romance. It’s incredibly well balanced and well paced.

Title: Park Hanhoo’s Manager Author & Artist: Kim Tac I’m so glad this has gained a cult following. The intrigue, the mystery & the love that has always been seeping in the undercurrents of the wonderful story.

←Japanese　English→

Title: Daraku Kazoku-ron Author & Artist: Tsurukame Mayo Such a fun & wild ride with all 3 characters! Their dynamics with each other leaves me cackling and makes my heart melt. Finding a place in life, our relationship to others, parenthood and finding a home in each other… thing of beauty.

Title: Oishii Machiawase Author & Artist: Higure Kure The tragedy of a oneshot! The chemistry between Machiki & Amekawa is so palatable, and watching the relationship deepen and leaving us with glimpse of their blooming bond, just chef kiss.

Title: Konosaki wa Futarikiride Author & Artist: Machio Yu There’s an earnestness to their relationship & a moment in chapter 2 really cemented this as a story I’ll remember. Side note: I also think I have a soft spot for characters that appear nonchalant and are kind.
