Hey guys, I'm working on a BL novel with heavy philosophical themes and I wanted to ask if any of you have recommendations for a philosophical BL novel / manga. The closest I've read were Heaven Official's Blessing and watched MDZS, and yes these novels are loaded with philosophical ideas.
>>2836724There's no top/bottom roles in 10 dance. One of them can't get it up to another man. It's straight
Does anyone here know if Papa Datte Shitai is on hiatus or finished or discontinued?
>>2836784It's ongoing in Jap, ch.25 came out three days ago.
>>2836789Great! But I'm confused about the chapter numbers since the site I've read it from has like 72 chapters
>>2836753Usually people will point to pretty much any work made by Priest. Perhaps Can Ci Pin? It did won the highest literary award in China.
>>2836792Maybe the western release has them divided in shorter parts.
>>2836784Oh is the manga still going? I thought it was just the anime.
>>2836753I like While Being Seen off by Campanella/3 Ban Sen no Campanella
>>2836800Yes, the manga is much, much better. I binged it yesterday
>>2836809I might give it a shot then, thanks for the info anon
Can someone please explain to me what is "Homo Yuri"? I got curious after searching up Dhibli doujins. I don't really come here though, but they told me ask here.
>>2836671Anything with the Josou Seme tag.
>>2836842"Homo Yuri" is also called "uke x uke"
>>2836795Been avoiding reading danmei for a while but I guess I'll check it out.
Shame this didn't happen before the mangaka died
>>2836753Nanchan, Dinghai fusheng records, Seizing dreams, even Thousand autumn brings up the question of morality. Just go to NU and browse the BL tags, filter the fast wear novels though
>>2836632Kaze to Ki no Uta is a must for any BL enthusiast. One could literally pick any from well-over 3000 pages of Takemiya's magnum opus, but this one, though comparatively simplistic in composition, still leaves one of the best lasting impressions on how to economically segue from reverie to reality.
>>2836843Back in my day we just called that shitshotaonii.
>>2836842Is homo with "a fluffy femenine yuri-like appeal"Aka: Absolute garbage for tasteless fags and women.I guess back then it was called shonen ai before it became outdated and too vague.
>>2836632>>2836912Speaking of legends, this is the page that convinced me to read Zankoku despite the tragedy. Both Takemiya and Hagio excelled at emotional page composition beyond face closeups. Not to say face closeups didn't become the staple of their manga as well, esp after Takemiya's realization that the more of those she made, the better her manga sold.
>>2836632They Wrote A Fanfic About Us
>>2836924Some of the pages are funny as fuck, it doesn't help that the second manga becomes a parody of itself.The schizo twins, the sisters, that dumb fuck Ian and everyone in the main character's life was the shittiest part of the manga
>>2836931I agree that some pages aged worse than others, especially because Hagio's art can be a bit stiff. The second part had a couple of redundant characters and it could be shorter, but Ian's plotline itself was good. He was annoying but realistically so.
>>2836918The Josou is not always a shota though.Sometimes they're a trap or look feminine.
>>2836632Senpai wa Joshikousei
>>2836941And most times that "feminity" comes by looking like a little dainty kid with a big ass a little bulge and that's it.All your trapfags are just shotafags with a new coat of paint don't try to deny it. If boku no pico came out today you would be drooling all over that shit.
>>2836941>>2836965'Jousou' is literally just 'dressed in women's clothes' so crossdressing. It doesn't matter if it's a shota or burly ojisan in a maid dress.
>>2836968What's it called when it's just a fem not a kid or a crossdresser as a seme. I love that but it's hard to find.
>>2836632Total Eclipse of the Eternal Heart
Anyone know how to download manga from cmoa (besides using their retarded offline reader app)?
Your honest opinion of incest?
>>2836972There's no specific tag like this afaik. Josou is still your best bet, if not, 体格 小 (small build) or 美人 攻め (pretty seme) will probably also work. That's for Jap terms, if you want to look on chilchil or sth. English is random with tagging, so no idea there.>>2837049Will read sibling incest as long as the story is okay. Not a turn-off, not a turn-on, just there. Parent-kid is kinda icky. Ofc not counting pseudo incest like adoptions etc.
>>2837033Why he dead?
>>2837049Brother x brother >uncle x nephew > cousin x cousin >> son x father > father x son > every other form of incest
>>2837049Brother/Brother is a classic, but really overused and hard to get fresh material nowadays. Father/Son is super rare but can be really hot if the writer doesn't too many retarded fetishes in it. I can't say I ever found any with a decent story though.
>>2837049shit
>>2837077Read it and find out
You know I'd like to read a BL with a gay guy and a "straight" guy where the straight guy decides to give a try because he's curious but instead of jumping into sex they take it slow and slow get comfortable and do minor stuff until after dozen chapters of build up they actually have sex.
>>2837033isn't this by the nakamura-kun author? mental
pay juné eight fujobux anons it’s worth it for the most relatable awkward sex in BL.
Thanat's futekiya inteview was fantastic and pretty revealing. I didn't realize that the one-armed seme from Perfect Fit was based on Finn from Adventure Time, but Thanat being a westaboo makes sense given the vibe of her manga. https://futekiya.com/creators-corner-interview-with-thanat/
I remember seeing the raw for this but I can't find it anymore, annoying.
>>2837131Pic related very much fits this mold and I'm shocked more anons don't talk about this series despite there already being like 3+ volumes. It's about the relationship between a "straight" construction worker and a gay bartender. The humorous tone, vivacious supporting cast and even the art all are very reminiscent of Hebiko Habuyama's best works, with greater emphasis on slice of life dramas than any relationship angst. Hell, we don't actually get a full-on extended sex scene until the straight guy bottom's for the first time in Vol.3.The first chapter is up on dex, but lamentably the scan team seems to have dropped it. If this was translated it would be an automatic rec for the bin.If your looking for other slow-burn bi-curious romances (that are already translated), try these:>Tatoeba Konna Koi no Hanashi>Kekkon Suru Kamoshirenai Otoko>Neko x Neko >Link and Ring>The Love That Binds>Ameagari no Bokura ni Tsuite>Suki Kirai wa Iwanai yo>Blue Lust>Don't Call Me Dirty>The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese
>>2837151Yes, most of her output is actually pretty dark. Nakamura seems to be the exception.
>>2837157https://mega.nz/file/0c8QRAZB#7zT_BJ9aBg3AWeoGlWrYjiHcWrZchUgppS_xwUi0oJ4
>>2837167I've had it on my backburner for a while, I guess I should get to it.
>>2837169Thanks anon. Was it posted here the first time too?
>>2837171yup, I shared it a couple threads ago
>>2837049a favorite. i actually just re-read this one last night.
>>2837156Holy hell, Thanat is based as fuck. That interview had such a great vibe. The questions were really interesting too for once. It's funny how a lot of anons' favorite (A Marked Love Match) seems to be the one she cared about the least or at least thinks could have been better.
>>2837154I did, but I just couldn't get into this one. I love awkwardness, but I was expecting it be good bants too. Instead it kind of felt like they didn't like each other that much.
>>2837183Can't believe it has a BL CD.
>>2837049Guilty pleasure.
>>2837196Sauce?
>>2837222Dogma by Akabeko, from Immoral Sex anthology.
>>2837156I'm surprised that they didn't mentioned Here and There and Us considering it's general acclaim and being the editor's favorite from the catalogue.
>>2836632I did not regret this purchase
>>2837229I'm very glad you're enjoying your fish vagina, anon.
>>2837229It's really cute. Even more than the merman stuff, I enjoyed the other true rarity: established relationship.
so i went and read what of gesshoku kitan was on man-gag-o... honestly it seems kinda dumb. just didn't click for me
>>2837049The best.
>>2836632These opening chapters were so well-executed.
>>2836632The struggle is real
>>2837298They were fantastic. Shame about the rest.
For the other local 2 anons who like cnovels and can stomach live actions, tian ya ke love action is pretty good. Subs will be out on Friday
>>2836386That link is down, anyone have a new one?
Thoughts on the end?
>>2837298A shame Volume 2 was shitto.
>>2837328It's not dead, it won't load until you have vpn set on Japan. Use Jap name in the search bar, click on what that comes up, and find it on the list.
This comes out 29 March. Cover looks good.
>>2837338The art is great, pity the plot was so overdramatic. Seems it's the author's debut work, so maybe she'll get better with time.
Who draws the best and most delicious looking buttholes?
>>2837340Haiki. Every other answer is wrong.
Any of you anons bought this yet? And if so, do they finally switch in the extra?
>>2836632For the incest lovers
>>2837357they weren't related tho
>>2837357sauce?
>>2837363filename, c'mon
>>2836632>updates 10-45 pages (that's right, 45) bi-weekly >has a cute artstyle>it's exclusively in Mandarin Chinese (fuck!)https://www.creative-comic DOT tw/book/131/content
>>2837379You should know that chinese BL is the future so you may as well learn the languages to pirate more efficiently
>>2837387Yeah, only as long as China doesn't step into Taiwan with harsher censorship. Chinese scans that shouldn't exist can be useful though.
>>2837357>Not blood related.Shit.Absolute garbage.
>>2837379Ugly tumblr tier wiry art made by some tasteless chink wooowww the innovation
>>2837236>I enjoyed the other true rarity: established relationshipTo be frank, that’s kinda the main draw for me too. It’s arguably the weirdest and most refreshing thing about the manga: a couple comfortable with each other and devoid of any relationship angst.
>>2837424This exactly. The guy may've became half fish, but they still behaved all comfy and natural with each other, the contrast actually made it even better.
>>2837330Source?
>>2837433Until I meet my husband. It's on mangadex
>>2837379Wait...I don't get it? Why the hell did he do that?
Update
>>2837229>Umi no sokoWhere can I find this? Preferably translated?
>>2837459You can buy the raws on cmoa. It just came out, so no translation yet.
>>2837459No translations yet, and since it’s published in a lesser known BL magazine I think we’ll have to wait a good while. You can get the less censored version on cmoa for no extra cost.Alternatively, the mangaka actually posted the entire first chapter on their twitter if you want a preview.https://twitter.com/jnnKleeche/status/1353650837990457346
>>2837466>>2837467Thanks! Love the style, I really hope we get it in enlgish sooner rather than later...
>>2837457Nice refI've never been able to draw the body quite as rectangular in the shoulders epecially
What's the status on /a/'s homo threads? I haven't seen one in a long time. I know there was someone who kept spamming them with a less than savory OP, but was that really enough to kill the threads permanently?
>>2837560There are at least 3BL anime confirmed for this year. They’ll be back.
>>2837560No, it's just that there isn't enough to discuss. It's full of negative people hating on the latest popular series and not interested in latest minor series, half of them hate homo and keep sucking off to the people who hate them to feel superior to other fujoshi.
>>2837560They pop up once per month, because some retards are unable to ignore the retarded spammer and therefore the threads become incredibly shitty. Except for sk8 this season is extra straight, so there's nothing new to discuss
>>2837626Volleyball one is homo at times but it also sucks.I heard wave is pretty homolust but no one is watching.But they are all super mediocre. Sk8 has adam but not enough to pull old fujo expect twitter retards jumping on the latest trend (Reminds me of fuguo keiji)
>>2837229But are the buttholes good?
>>2837346Based as fuck. I wish more people drew buttholes like Haiki. I also wish lot of mangaka didn't forget that tops have buttholes too.
>>2837629I was really excited for Adam because I love that type of character, but he just can't carry the show on his own.
>>2837664Yeah it's too formulaic for me too case and stale bait in an original show is boring as fuck.
>>2837629Volleyball also has the weird straight shit they're pushing. It's also just shit
>>2837684They are not pushing it anymore but yeah it's shit. I wonder hat the director was thinking.I only stuck around because I like the MC and the other boy with backhair's designs and the accent.
this looks hot, a shame the censor shit
Today I binged the Rules/ Hybrid series by Kano Miyamoto. Christ anons, never have I seen a series go from good, to great, to spectacularly meaningless trash fire by the end. I was ready to reverse my preconceived biases about early 2000’s BL, only to have them viciously reinforced by the end. I’m not even mad or frustrated, just jaded and empty.
>>2837638No idea, they’re all censored unfortunately
>>2837728What was the trashfire about?
>>2837698Yeah, it's kind of a pity given that it's nearly all porn and no other plot.
195 KB>>2837733High school kid has crush on friend, so he goes to Shinjuku gay district and loses his virginity to a bisexual guy 9 years his senior. First volume focuses on the kid and his undefined relationship with bi guy and his unrequited feelings toward the friend.The second volume focuses on the friend discovering his bisexuality after he goes to Shinjuku and patronizes a male prostitute. The rest of the series switches between these two couples. Yes, it does do that annoying trope were even the side characters end up with each other, but it actually gives adequate justification and treats the subject matter of latent homolust seriously. It doesn’t just read like a naked trope.Unfortunately it stumbles at the end of volume 3, and the sequel mangas just careen off a cliff.
>>2837737I was mostly curious what happened at the end that it ruined the manga.
>>2837739Succinctly put, everyone becomes a serial man whore whose actions not only defy they’re own self interest, but basic human logic to the point that they’ve been rendered unrecognizable as characters.
If possible, can onBlue anon share the new Etranger chapter?
>>2837744Sure, when the digital comes out on March 1st.
>>2837748Many thanks!
>>2837347Damn was Zetsubou ni Nake a mess. The plot is a melodrama sped up 4x, but with really nice art and sex scenes. I have fondness for imperfect series so I didn't hate it, but it's objectively not well written. It shares a lot with concurrent Kono kiss wa kiji ni dekinai by Nishimoto Rou also in onBlue, where the nicely drawn sex scenes get glued with messy plot and inconsistent characterization.
>>2836636Pinboard anon. Replied to your email.
>>2837815Agreed, but was it riba in the end? I NEED to know.
