I feel like that's a risk w/blind buying manga that I find that I fall back on scanlations. Like then I need to store the actual books in my limited space and life is hard :effort:

I wish I could just buy ebook/PDF of my favorite manga instead of subs but I guess I can take pics of it? Ik technically the site could go down so I'd lose all my books on Renta but I like to pretend I own them.

I like the part where they share Renta's manga but you only get to read them w/a sub instead of forever once bought.

The 2nd CH of Old-Fashioned cupcake cont :3:

They visit the local cafe for parfaits.

Thanks for the recc'd list, I will check out soon :3:

Yeah get the same feeling w/josei like it's neat to see ace characters but there's usually then find the Right Person and everything is resolved in the final ch. I've always thought of being ace like a default/major aspect of my personality regardless if I dated or not.

Woo Boy Titan's Bride anime: I expected nothing but I'm still disappointed feeling is constant every time I see it mentioned.

I cont reading BL during the winter break and looking for nice art w/happier stories.

Attachment Love: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=152781

I've been reading Attachment Love as well, it's pretty interesting. I'm curious what the younger guy's deal is after the last chapter!

Yeah, I like the artist's other works before too. I admit, I just want to move on from HS settings a lot too...

I'm still dreaming of the day I get to have a real personal IRL library now.

Sep 24, 2013

I read the Given chapter and conflicted about dropping it since the 1st couple was good but all the following side couples were bad and felt bad :thunk:

I hate moments where decent LI end up threatening terrible actions b/c they want to "prove" something to the other person or "scare" them away. I'm like why?

I want to get it but I need to get paid first :retrogames:

The first volume of Sasaki and Miyano is out as well, and I think there was something else I saw that just released ...can't remember what now though.

Glad to know it's good! I read the first chapter before it got licensed and it looked interesting.

It's cute and I love how there's a bunch of different cats in all the chapters since more cats = better.

Does that mean MC is now an immortal? otherwise their time is still limited on earth :(

Sep 24, 2013

I rmb that manga and I'm eternally sad it was a waste of cute character designs and bun boys.

Yeah, a lot of BL I start reading is me wondering is this really dub-con or straight-up non-con which is never properly tagged? Also reflected in romance manga so I start series thinking at least Shojo is less extreme when it shows up.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:

is there not an and/or selector?

also ive always wondered if people cast consensual noncon under the dubcon umbrella



vvvv oh poo poo!!

Not really. I slowly moved to 85% reading BL for my manga hobby but usually, it's just filed under normal themes.

Old-fashioned cupcake has a sequel and it's good :kimchi:

Speaking of manga readers I've been relying on TachiyomiJ2K to pull links from Mangadex and it works pretty great on my Kindle Fire 8 HD. It's insane how in 2021 to think I can read a 35 vol manga series over a weekend compared to the days I'd camp at the local B&N for a few hours back in 2009.

Got a little more info on 6 Lovers since clips of it are floating around --

It seems to be fully animated, *not* a motion comic like I was afraid of :toot:
Each chapter is ~5 minutes so they're more like little teasers for each manga, which makes sense since they were made as a promo for the Dear+ 20th Anniversary (which was like 3 or 4 years ago now lol)

don't really have anything to link since that's just stuff I saw random people posting on twitter but shouldn't be hard to find anything if you search it, but right now it's just :filez: so I didn't want to post any actual links.

Lol the Ten Count OVA reminded me that it'll be an anime series one day. Oh, memories.

Alder

So I read the first manga and here are my thoughts: It's super bittersweet even though as readers know all are aware that there's only one realistic kind of ending so yeah :sigh:

I don't know why they decided to focus on the story of the girl esp since that her ending epilogue was just and goes against the entire story. Really? It was so important you immediately forgot everything in 6 months and dated a co-worker? Then lost your virginity in 1 week. Thanks.

I think the MC deserved much better and I wish he had that chance.

If anyone is looking for good ace representation I recc'd Our Dreams at Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare available on amazon. I felt like people just accepted one of the ace characters w/o being judgmental for no reason.

E: Mangadex is readable through api, so tachiyomi works. :toot: though it'll be a while until group's can upload and update again.

Honestly, I'm p sad since shipping from Japan is expensive atm and now another venue is closing for readers. Also, I use AO3 mostly since it's useful with tags and endless free entertainment.

The Amazon Kindle app p great for BL but I struggle to find new series even though it's recommending me stuff but just not a manga I'm interested in right now.

I bought manga off Google Books and it's OK but yeah mostly cluttered with super mainstream and other questionable series when I check out the section.

I thought omegaverse was p popular already? I've seen josei with a/b/o themes and a lot of fanart for in BL on twitter. I still feel baffled w/josei + omegaverse like it's just an extreme version of most manga and it's kinda eh.
