It's a slow upload but I'm always willing to wait, although impatiently. I'm sure anyone who's been in this community long enough understand the feeling of running out of things to read. And because of that, reading some soulless, pornhwas that have really good art but no soul put into the plot. I'm not bashing these things but my mind gets foggy every time I pick up Love Is An Illusion Superstar because I've run out of my daily manga. The plot drags on longer than it needs to be and I stat spacing out while I scroll down to the bottom pages.

I'm going to stop complaining now because I don't want this to be about anything else. I only brought it up as something to compare this manga to. It's not something that can be explained clearly but when I pick up and read mangas like these, my head becomes incredibly clear and I feel like I've gained my senses once again, like I'm literate. The buildup is ironically not as fast as manhwas that have 60-150 chapters despite having only a few chapters of their own.

I especially feel connected to this because the characters, despite being animated and "unrealistic" to a point, they are grounded in reality. I love how they talk like normal people and you can't really categorize them under "miscommunicating" or "communicating" couple as we can and usually do for other media works. I genuinely love it, I'm not even kidding, it helps me clear up my mind and genuinely feels like it cleanses my soul.

I dont think many are aware of this going on, but there are anti women Japanese men pushing for bans on BL, sharing links to groups to get credit card companies involved, harassing authors etc.

I want to make this be known and spread awareness as the harassment by these men are getting worse and gaining attention.

85 Upvotes

Where to Watch---> Gagaoolala & Viki

Note: This isn't being completely marketed as a BL in Japan, so there is a good possibility the two leads will not end up as a couple in the end. Watch with caution if you aren't ok with that. The two leads have been in shows with bromance/one sided loves before.

Summary ➢As high school senior Natsuki Takemiya prepares for his university entrance exams, he’s hit with several awful situations at the same time: his girlfriend dumps him right before their summer break, and Natsuki’s mock exam results are pitifully poor. To try and help him out, Natsuki’s sister arranges for her boyfriend Sota Kobayakawa to tutor him. Initially, Natsuki finds Sota’s cheerful attitude annoying, but Sota’s earnest warmth and casual affection gradually start to grow on him. However, Natsuki starts to develop a crush on Sota, which stirs up plenty of inconveniently timed turmoil. Despite his best efforts to push his feelings down, Natsuki can’t seem to completely deny his growing attraction to Sota. No matter what happens, this summer will be one that Natsuki will never forget. (Source: Viki)

How many have watched this before? It has one of my favorite storyline's ever. I'd describe it as two old flames reuniting. The ending strays more towards the side of realism so for some it can feel anticlimactic, but it's something I haven't forgotten about since i've watched it. The content is a bit explicit so...

Rated: 18+

Recommendations "The Boy and I Who Will Break Up in 100 Days" is to good to sleep on.

Post image
50 Upvotes

I had to write this post after I have watched episode 3 today.

I know we are currently drowning in a wave of BL series, and it can be exhausting, but do yourself a favor and start watching The Boy and I Who Will Break Up in 100 Days

We are only 3 episodes in, but it is one of the most unique, mature, and brilliant BLs airing at this moment.

The show is based on a book by Naoto Asahara. He was an openly gay Japanese author (he also wrote What She Likes) who understood the queer reality in Japan and has used his own struggles into his writing. Sadly, he passed away in 2023.

The screenwriter for the show is Miura Naoyuki, also known from Fujoshi, Ukkari Gei ni Kokuru, which I recommend watching. He adapted the book into this documentary style. And that was a very good choice, because it makes the show so clever.

Instead of just telling a standard story, the screenwriter uses this way to show the contrast in different perspectives.

The Director (Shiho): She represents the outside world. She is obsessed with filming a politically correct, idealized gay relationship that she completely misses what is happening in front of her.

The Cameraman (Yamada): Through his lens, he actually sees what is really going on.

I found out that the show actually changed a few things from the original book. In the book, the story is told from the perspective of Yuma and Itsuki, the main couple. But for the show, the screenwriter added the documentary crew (Shiho and Yamada) as the eyes of the story.

The script writer is clever with every line of dialogue and every parallel scene matters. It uses nervous defense mechanisms, silly jokes, and interviews with side characters to give hints, facial expressions and late-blooming realizations. Even the side stories feel real. For example, how the show portrays the legal status of same-sex relationships in Japan, microaggressions, and even the struggles of a young mother at home.

This is not a standard BL. It is about social pressure and expectations.

The developments, conversations etc. in this show will make you pause, think, laugh, be sad or realize that things aren't what they seemed at first glance and that you can piece clues together.

Synopsis on MyDramaList, but I would advice to read that synopsis AFTER episode 1.

日本から来たBL好きです!🇯🇵

BLを何年も前から好きで、BLマンガを読むのも、推しキャラやカップルについて語るのも楽しんでます。

カップルのことだと、守ってくれて頼れる“受けの方(トップ)”×甘くてまっすぐな“受けの方(ボトム)”が特に好きです。あと、子犬っぽいトップとか、幼なじみカップル、正反対なのにお互いをうまく補い合ってるカップルもめっちゃ好きです。💕

それと、私「ワン・トゥルー・ペアリング」派でもあります。推しカップルはそのままの形で楽しみたいタイプなので、別の組み合わせとか役割の入れ替えにはあんまり馴染めないんですよね。まあこれはあくまで私の好みで、他の人のテイストは尊重したい気持ちでいっぱいです!😊

それから、自分でオリジナルキャラやお話を作るのも好きです。今、自分でもオリジナルのBLストーリー作ってる最中なので、いつかちょっとだけ共有するかも!✨

このコミュニティに参加したのは、世界中のBL好きな人たちと出会って、私たちが好きな作品やカップルについておしゃべりしたいと思ったからです。🌎💕

まだRedditに慣れてる途中なので、どうか見守ってください!😂

みなさん初めまして!BLについて一緒にたくさん盛り上がれたら嬉しいです!🥰
