21st night ~ A BL manga that deserves better recognition
I wanted to recommend something by Satosumi-sensei. I think she plays confusion and reality very well, but people tend to hate her habit of leaving loose ends. So, Sakende Yaruze, because Lucky-kun is just plain sad (albeit better). Annoying characters, yes, though I think they have a very realistic depiction of confusion in discovering love once again, with someone unexpected. Some guys just need a big push.
22nd night ~ A BL manga you wish didn't exist
As not to stir emotions, I'll leave more of the manga I hate to myself and concentrate on the ones I like. So... Bronze. I HATE bronze. Not because it's horrible (the art is), but because it transforms a story which should have ended in sadness into a soap-opera melodrama even harder than the series before. Sometimes it's too forced. And as it spoils one of my fav manga, I wish the author didn't make this rip-off :/
23rd night ~ The best long BL series
There are probably better series out there, but Kusatta has its particular charm. The characters are lively and they go through hardships, heartbreaks and face happiness as they mature, even the adults. You actually root for them! I think this is a charming series no one should miss.
24th night ~ The best BL One-shot
So, Naono again. This manga is the cutest, and for the usual Naono Bohra standarts, it is quite sensitive despite being cute and warm as always. I love this couple, and I love it even more that you end up with a feeling it doesn't matter if the pages ended quickly, they love each other and they're gonna be happy :)
25th night ~ A non-BL manga you wish were BL
Darn! I always complain about Kaori Yuki due to my Angel Sanctuary trauma, but I'll give her kuddos for making me wish Cain and Riff were an actual couple. Man! Innuendos aren't enough, woman! They look so good together, and their master x servant relationship based on understanding and trust...! Fanfictions are writting themselves!
26th night ~ a BL manga you'd never buy
Loveless is being published in Portuguese, but I quite dislike this manga. Call it bitching, but I think it doesn't quite cross the line as a good Josei, as a fighting shonen nor as a shounen ai. It's too moe, too slow paced and too melodramatic for me. These types of emo characters are not my cup of tea. I'd recommend it, but never invest my money on this project. Sorry publishers!
27th night ~ a brilliant BL manga you think should be considered literature
I'd name anything from Est Emu to this position, but since I couldn't decide between one of her works, I'd like to congratulate Asumiko for this piece of artwork. It's a beautiful, fluid painting along with a plot full of twists and turns that you see in shapes and patterns all along this manga. This is raising the standart from comic to Graphic Novel.
28th night ~ The most bizarre BL manga you've ever read
No! It's not THIS! But it's from Kotobuki Tarako and also involves dogs. There's this one shot called SHIRI HORE, not available on mangago... OH LORD. I'll put the tags here #incest #zoophilia #shotacon #weird little doggy #why does it all lead to horrible yaoi?!
29th night ~ The BL manga that best covered your personal fetishes
So, if you've seen my kinks album, you know I'm pretty open minded. I've never found a manga that covered all my fetishes, but some get pretty close. The one that got closest was Darkness Hound, available on MyReadingManga. But The Miscreant Next Door gets pretty close, for I love them big, bulky, with well drawn dic*s, wrestling tights and lovely sensitive nipples <3

30th night ~ Your favorite BL cliché
So, I thought of something BL didn't borrow from shoujo. It's always fun when the couple is close/thinking about about each other and one pops a boner. It can be played in the comedy, sensual, angsty angle... I don't like it when it ends in sexual violence, but the usual responses are always so adorably awkward.
Sakende Yaruze!
