Dead ass the first time I've seen "flowerverse' in my 16yrs of reading yaoi (yes I'm ancient 1998) drop some recommendations!
This place is full of babies. I'm early 20s and even I know hanahaki.
Then give me some recommendations! It's not like mangago or known for their search engine. (Clarification, I'm 28)
It comes from the doujin scene rather than BL manga itself. Bakaupdates probably has a tag for it, idk.
Try in mrm, there's lots of doujins there
Thank you very much for the meal! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
"Ancient" and you ain't even 30 yet lol
I'm 33 and I know people way older than me that know of hanahaki disease.
In terms of tropes it's not really used that often, but it isn't a "verse." Verse implies there are two sides. Alphas and omegas. Espers and their guides. Forks and... cakes...
Anyways, hanahaki is a disease caused by unrequited love and can lead to the death of the one afflicted. If the love becomes mutual, the disease goes away. If it remains unrequited then the person runs the risk of dying 'cause the flowers literally sprout from inside their lungs, ultimately drowning them.
Thank you for the details! I love a good summary. Absolutely perfect.
Deadass makes me feel waaay better about my age lol. I feel like fujo/fudon I've met are sooo much younger.
I think hanahaki is more popular in fanfics than in manga/webtoons. I do wonder tho why no one ever tried to use it on these mediums like it isn't even ip protected or something. Hanahaki would make such good angst man.
How many of you have never heard of the hanahaki disease? It's not something new, its been here for a while.
