WAIT WAIT. I JUST SAW COMMENT ON THE ORIGINAL WORK AND I SAW COMMENT SAUING THAT THE ORGIN...

Also in the raws it doesn't HAVE BL TAG but romance comedy tag??? Bruhhhhhhh

Are you serious

Yeah?? Like they said the author also MENTIONED IN ON TWITTER THEY SAID??

Bruh

I'm reading this for the BL if it's going to be a shoujo then I have plenty other options than this

I'm gonna jump down the cliff I swear if ouri ends up being heartbroken and alone !!

noo, im starting to think it's queerbaiting, like having the brother stuck in himeri and getting together w the prez, so it counts as somewhat bl

I think thr story gonna be roaming around the siblings relationship and the sister emotional journey and the brother understanding his sister and ouri best friend and president getting interested in SISTER rather than ouri. Because as far we know ouri think his best friends like his sister because he stare at her like he stare at him. Meanwhile the president is somewhat coming around for sister because who knows he might be think that HE FINALLY GOT TO SEE SOME INTERSETING SIDE OF HER, as he was one of the ppl for the sister who ACKNOWLEDGED her and her hardwork which is mind yoy is very touching and sweet. BUT WHAT ABOUT OURI??? WHAT ABOUT HIM????

Just because the marketing and genre is shoujo doesn't mean it can't have gay relationships in it, y'all just don't know how the magazines work Banana Fish is shoujo too you know

yeah but shoujo and BL are not mutually exclusive, so getting rid of one in favour of the other is kinda weird

They are in the Japanese publishing industry, they get seperate magazines and separate marketing efforts. That's why I mentioned that ppl don't know how the genre labels work in Japan . The author wanted this to get a shoujo audience (wider net, more geared towards the youth) that's why she republished it from the original and changed the genre labelling

Fyi, banana fish also didn't have the BL label, neither did No.6, or Blue Flag, and all of them depict gay people and gay relationships but they don't have the genre labelling due to magazines and marketing. Genre manga work in Japan is often very gated and doesn't allow for the same fluidity like how we have for Korean webtoons or dramas etc

lol I thought it was under shoujo as a demographic and then BL as a genre, which can happen with online publishing VS physical magazines. and then the author randomly got rid of the BL genre bit. that's mb, I know about the shoujo shounen josei seinen etc thing. Just did some digging (i'm very bored and ignoring my responsibilities) and found out that it was originally published under Be Boy (BL) and now published under manga-no (self-publishing, doesn't seem to have any specific genres tied to it. lots of AI work too, eugh)

if u go to the official publishing site, it has a bunch of tags, none of which are BL (School romantic comedy, romance, human drama, vertical reading, color, according to google translate), so I wonder if there was originally a hashtag for BL that is now gone and that's what people are mentioning? or maybe it's about the republishing which was all the way last year. it's probably the latter. there's a romance tag so we'll see what that's all about. looking at the thumbnails of the original publication there was a little something between two dudes, so we'll see if that gets changed

I looked around the website to see if I could find anything like a shoujo/shounen etc. demographic tag and it doesn't seem to be common, it's mostly just tagged by genre instead (I did try ctrl+F for 少女, it did not work I fear). BL is a tag on there too, just not on this story. rankings, which often will be separated by demographic, are cumulative which doesn't help here either lol. so not even sure if it's being published under a shoujo demographic or with a shoujo publisher. all that's for sure is that it's a school romance comedy, likely targetting a female audience but there's no real label for it

btw, it seems like the original story was discontinued by Be Boy. here's what the author has to say:

"As announced by the Be-Boy editorial department account, *Kaichou, Kannan-san ga Hen Desu* has concluded its serialization with chapter 40, and distribution has been discontinued.
We sincerely apologize to all readers who have enjoyed the work up to this point."

and then another tweet:

"While it has ended up in this form, it was a work that I carefully crafted over approximately three years, including the preparation period.
To everyone who supported me during the serialization, thank you very much."

doesn't sound like they're too happy about it so probably not a publisher change on the author's end. title change w/ the publication change probably, pinky promise

once again sorry i'm just really bored and really trying to ignore the real world. i personally don't care if it's a BL is het romance. or no romance. they could randomly shove a harem and while i'd be a little peeved i'd probably keep reading
