I thought eventually the son would give up, and find someone else, and we’d get to see him start a new, less toxic relationship. However when I started reading it, I didn’t realise quite how many BL had incest in them. I hate this whole “who can tell reality from fiction” discourse. I know it’s fucking fiction, but I don’t want to read stuff that makes me feel uncomfortable. People expressing their opinions about something aren’t “dumb bitches complaining”.
I personally think the problem is that when fiction normalises something to the extent that manga normalises rape or incest, that’s when there’s an issue. It shouldn’t be normal to read rape and incest and not feel some discomfort EVEN WHEN ITS FICTION. You should be able to read something that you know has unhealthy dynamics and enjoy elements of it, but also discuss how it makes you feel uncomfortable. Manga isn’t just fap material.
I could almost understand some people’s point of view”if you don’t like it don’t read it” for a one volume manga with little story, but this is three volumes and has a fucking plot. Is it really too much to ask that maybe this pseudo son/father relationship wouldn’t turn into actual sex? I don’t think so personally. It’s not a one shot. It could have been nuanced.
Im with you here and thank you. You saved me from wasting my time on this. I cannot do this incest/pseudo incest stuff. Whether related by blood or not, if someone raised the child, they are the parent. I just can't get behind a child falling and listing after a grown adult and a whole ass parent at that. I despise how normalised it is.
Thanks to a lovely user, we’ve got a different set of Raws!
The Raws site we used had missing pages unknown to us, so we’re going to be going back and adding any missing pages. We might also try and reorder them, as the two Raws sites we used the chapters are in different orders. So once we know the correct chapter order, that might be happening.
Sorry for any confusion/mistakes - the two of us working on this both just really want to read this story and share it, so we’re doing the best we can, as fast as we can
I’ve just commented this to someone else, but there’s a release coming later this year of this - https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/nagaku_mo_mijikaki_koi_no_hanashi/ no the same author.
So, if you love ‘blue sky complex’ and would like to see an official release, please purchase this manga to show the publishers there is a market for this mangaka, and if you can/wish to, message the publisher saying you’d love to see more work by this mangaka. If you want you can even say you’ve read the official digital translations of BSC and would love a print version, but DO NOT mention fan translations please!
It’s already out in America I believe - https://www.amazon.com/Long-Short-Love-Story-manga/dp/B0FMQW8HXX/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 - also I got the name wrong









The art is stunning, he always looks so wrecked in the love scenes
