You are welcome, I hope it was a great day C:

Hahaha, don´t worry about it; take your time to reply if you want, or maybe we can start from zero. I recently saw the visuals and the trailer from The Summer Hikaru Died, and it is looking quite great. I hope it is as faithful of an adaptation as possible.

Sorry, I don´t use Discord; I found it a bit complex and I am a bit too lazy to learn hahaha.

Are you watching something from the Fall 2024? This season has been better than the Summer 2024.

That's essentially my definition of BL as well. I'm surprised to see you read GL as well. For whatever reason, GL isn't as popular, which is surprising, seeing how popular garbage genres like ecchi and harems are. I've never focused on a woman's sexuality when reading her manga, but I suppose it would make a difference. If you have a short BL rec by a gay woman, share it with me.

Yeah, I think this entire pronoun fiasco is just overhyped. If people respect you, that's what matters. There are people at my office who address me as "sir" simply bc it's a force of habit for them. Do I get offended that they "mispronounced" me? No. they respect me and do whatever job I give them to do. Labels don't matter much.

Depends on your definition of trans, then. I've found out that even within the LGBT group, there is no single definition of the word "trans", and more and more LGB people are speaking up against how flexible the word "trans" has become.

No. I don't think you did. I think someone else told me this a few months ago, and seeing how we weren't even talking then, I don't think it was you. It does make sense, though. Sucks, seeing how I am not attracted to women sexually, no matter how hard I try ;p

For me, bara is art based. If it features unbelievably muscular/hairy/stocky gay men, it's bara. Doesn't matter who wrote the story. And yes, older people definitely write better/mature stories

I agree. This younger generation of children is so needy. They need validation for everything and get offended whenever someone disagrees with them over the simplest of things. I'd like things to go back to when it was just the LGBT, without any alphabet soup in it. No, I do not want to address you as ze/zir. No, I do not think you're a wolf living in a human's body. No, I do not believe you feel like a girl at 11 am but a boy at 2 pm, and then non-binary at 5pm.

I believe most BL mangaka have never met gay men in their lives. Their stories are attempts of what they think gay men talk and behave like. However, I do feel you're talking about older BL. Most modern BL treats gay men as men, but since the primary plot point is romance, the focus is always on them finding/loving another gay man. IDK who said it but I do believe the average human's sexuality is bisexuality. However, internalized homophobia is so prevalent among men that most just live in denial about their attraction towards other men.

Hey how you doin? actually i have created a yt channel recently and i'll be making anime related content. it would mean a lot if you sub nd share if you like thank you it's called Shudh desi weeb 3 videos as of now here's the link https://youtube.com/@gtsenpai21?si=zwyEUVN5sMk3Q2eJ

Hey! How have you been? I am sorry for the late message, but I want to wish you a happy belated birthdat! I hope it was a wonderful day filled with joy C:

You're welcome, have a great day ~

Oh, I assumed you meant "difference" content wise. Yes, obviously the art is the most striking difference between bara and regular BL, but you'll have to be more specific about the story differences, because whatever you're telling me about bara is stuff I've already read in regular BL manga.

Yeah, I myself am not fond of the 100s of nicknames any specific community decides to give its members based on their physical appearance. I'm guessing its most prominent in the gay and lesbian circles. Oh, but also those hundreds of genders and pronouns.
Yeah, it's kinda stupid, seeing as you're all just human beings at the end of the day.

I also think it's interesting how many BLs focus on the gay dude (usually the uke) falling for the straight guy, who, instead of rejecting him or being disgusted, magically becomes gay just for this special little uke. I think the straight guys exist because of several factors - gay-straight couple fantasy, most guys in this world are straight, the het dude brings out the gay dude's internal dilemma and tensions between the 2 MLs, which is often what many romance BLs focus on anyway.

Have you checked out this mangaka's other works as well?

I like how she strays away from regular BL tropes and creates stories and characters in very unique situations.

I read Asterisk in 2019 and I rated it a 7. I really don't even remember reading it, honestly. It happens when you've read as many manga as I have.

Happy birthday! 🥳

You´re welcome :-)

Happy birthday! :)

Happy Birthday

Yes, agreed. But the average human being has very low standards when it comes to anything, so I'm not surprised gore and jumpscares are what they consider "good" horror.

I've read a few bara manga and I've not noticed anything different in terms of story or characters, when compared to regular manga. What are those differences?
And hahaha twunks. Nice term.

I've already read Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu. Gave it a 7. Not gonna read Black guard since I have a short attention span and there's no way I'm completing 27 chapters - even if it's BL.
Why don't you read this one and let me know what you thought? https://myanimelist.net/manga/162648/Konna_Koi_nara_Owari_ni_Shitai
It has a lot more dialogues, esp internal ones, than your average Yaoi and I liked how it dealt with realistic topics/issues not usually discussed in BL

I myself feel that blood, death and torture are a "shortcut" that horror "writers" use to make their works appear more horror. Real horror is.... dread. And uncertainty. It's not pools of blood and jumpscares. I was anyway under the impression that gay dudes really like the bara genre. Is that true? Then why do so many twinks exist irl?

I remember reading a dark manga about a father-son relationship, but since it was meant to be a dysfunctional relationship, I didn't mind it at all. What gets on my nerves is brotherly relationships portrayed as uwu gay love. If you have good josei/seinen BL recs, feel free to share them.

IDK, I liked Given but there was this one (or two) scenes with the second couple with dub-con, which ruined an otherwise perfectly wholesome BL for me.

Haha. You remind me of another gay friend who likes dark BL content.

IDK man, sibling or blood related, incest is just as disgusting for me. I wouldn't say that there is a lot of them out there in today's BL manga, but they do exist in enough numbers for girls to enjoy such trash writing, and for them to seek them out specifically.

> the gems are hidden so well that I can't find any
LMAO same. I used to do that too but I realized that was way too much hard work, so I stopped watching anime eventually. You should try and go through my anime list. Most of is full of lesser known anime. You might end up enjoying some of them.

Internet Love was very cute. The best BLs are often that are part of the Josei or seinen genre, I've found. Mature, well written, and often free of the sexist tropes of the uke and seme that BL is inundated with.

Wow. You are this familiar with mangaka's works? I've read so much that it's impossible to keep track.

Yes, Die is incestuous but the shock factor wore off pretty quickly for me bc incest is something that happens often in BL, esp threesomes, for whatever reason.

It's easy to be over anime, you know. Watch the top 10 anime from every genre and you've watched basically all anime there is to watch, bc there's little to no variety in most anime. They're generic trash.
