Wasn't the last time this got a new a chapter like 5 years ago or something? It has nothing to do with retarded westoids harassing the author, which happened just now.
A lot of artists say they are planning to continue something, but that doesn't mean it will ever materialize.
I wish it came back, but the chances are not in our favor.

After Nakamura ends, it's all downhill for me. It's not the best BL out there but it is so real, there's no BL with a protagonist so close to the actual gaycel experience like Nakamura. The loneliness, the awkardness, the sweetness and the occasional fluff, and the characters are so adorable to watch. I will have a small depression when it's over probably even if we get the best ending ever

there's no real ending, the manga is unfinished, but the last chapter ended with Nakamura thinking of ways to compete with Otogiri after Hirose asked him his number in the nurse's office, basically ep 5 ending without the China town tease. Then there was an extra chapter where Nakamura embarrasses himself with Hirose trying to deny he reads BL so he shows him he was searching for a loli pedo manga. Hirose is severely weirded out and everyone in the library berates poor Nakamura, that's episode 2 ending but Hirose is just very embarrassed in the anime. The manga is more mean spirited. Every manga finale got adapted, so we're 101% getting something new and leaks suggested it's a happy ending
>>
>>288224805
Nakamura deserves a break, even a timeskip where he just finds another guy because he's a sperg is fine.

judging from merch and the way the anime is going, I think it's more likely for them to hint at him and Aiki getting together in the future rather than him getting a new guy, it would feel unsatisfying
>>288225440
Yeah the anime has an actual plot and blended the chapters in really well, so you can see Nakamura actually making progress through it. It's like the anime does care for Okuto after all, while the manga uses him as the butt of the joke most of the time. It's a different medium and it was finished around 5 years ago so the tone is different, still I like the anime more personally

So is he bi? The only boy we know he likes is Hirose. And he didn't like Todoroki's stink, although it did make him fantasize about seme Hirose. But he was already reading BL before he met Hirose and seemed pretty sure he was gay. So surely he's liked other boys before to figure that out. If the only girl you are attracted to is the one that looks like your male crush, does that count as bi?
>>
>>288228185
The main philosophical question is: does liking crossdressing/女装 makes you bisexual? I don't think so. Women came up with a lot of cute stuff, and you can just steal those.

>tfw I will never have a cute Nakamura calling me late at night

No it's just how when you're a straight guy, you sometimes come across a boy and think he's very cute and you want to kiss him and go out with him you know but you're still straight. This must happen to gay people too.
>>
>>288228513
I don't think so, either. Fashions change so much over time and place that sexuality can't reasonably be tied to it. Otherwise basically all modern straight men would be gay for being attracted to women wearing what was, not even that long ago, exclusively male clothing.

I wonder when this scene from the BD trailer would show up in the show. I don't think Nakamura ever acted this flustered in his imagination when interacting with Hirose, so perhaps this scene plays out more true to life.

original poster here.
Long post ahead and I'm restricting this to Japanese BL who got serialized, I have yet to read something from China and Korea and I'm only considering stories where the two guys don't look like clones, honestly that's a turn off for me most of the time

Honestly it's a hard question for me when it comes to anime BLs. Much like you I haven't read many BL mangas because I have very specific likings and many seem like more of the same. I said Nakamura isn't the best because its plot is pretty linear and it's an episodic kind of series with fluff. Not a bad thing per se but I guess a good BL would have a compelling story to tell too. However thinking about it Nakamura is one of the best because as I wrote it's the best at capturing the actual teenage gay experience, we've all been Nakamura in our awkard gay lives and frankly I have yet to watch or read a BL with an MC like that without the "relatableness" not feeling forced. Nakamura feels genuine because Syundei does seem to understand what a gay boy's life is like, unlike many BLs who seem to be straight romances but with two dudes made for fujos or just way out there.

The genre is ever expanding and the BL anime adaptations are growing a lot compared to 5 years ago, so we'll get a universally acclaimed one one day.

For now, Nakamura is the best one at feeling real, so it's my favorite
>>
>>288236230
The big issue is how plotless japanese BL is for the most part.
Danmei has its issues but some of the actually feel like
>genre fiction with a homosexual relationship
and some are really good.
>>
>>288221211
now, for the recommendations, I'd say:
>watch No.6 if you want a nice plot with the boy love story on the side
>watch Given if you want something more psychological and complex with gay guys
>watch Hikaru if you want both with horror elements

for my restricted knowledge, I'd say Hikaru is the "best" BL for now because the boys feel real enough to be two dudes, the story is interesting, you feel a lot for the characters and the monster analogy is brilliant. While Yoshiki isn't Nakamura, his gay experience is pretty close to reality too
>>
>>288236244
what's offputting to me about Chinese and non-Japanese BL is how ethereal and unrealistic the boys look, I know it sounds silly but it's something I can hardly overlook. They're explicitly made for the female gaze, which isn't a bad thing but I am a gay guy and I look for something different
>genre fiction with a homosexual relationship
see that's great for me because we need good stories with homosexual relationships instead of straight ones, but I want both protagonists to feel real and distinct from each other, like they're actual characters and not idealized versions. Also not a big fan of ancient settings, but I make exceptions for good stories

It's just me probably but I'm not much into porn for this show. Don't get me wrong, have as much fun as you want with it, they're not real and some artists did draw sexy stuff, but to me they're not just kids profile wise but they feel like kids too unlike most shonen protags, I cannot think about them sexually unless they're aged up, and still I like the fluff art more. Their relationship feels very innocent and puppy love

Teenage boys are super horny. I get this sentiment for younger boys. But the only thing stopping high school boys from fucking is their own social ineptitude.

>>288246205
for gay boys, the world they live in too, expecially in some places. I wasn't horny throughout all my teenage years because I was deep down in the closet and thought that maybe I just didn't find the right girl. Turns out I was very horny, for other boys, but I suppressed it
>>
It feels like the anime is properly building hirose's side of the relationship, like, I can see him falling for Nakamura
>>
>>288246205
>>288246205
oh don't worry no need to explain that because I'm not saying they wouldn't fuck given the chance lol I just don't feel aroused by their doujins because they genuinely feel like kids to me, Nakamura expecially. If I was their age, I'd be horny about them, but I'm not, I feel like a big brother watching two baby gays falling in love
