Okay so can someone tell me why the hell it's genred as romance? It's just a kid eventually developing stockholm's syndrome for his abuser wth. The dude might love the kid but it sure isn't mutual.
Yeah I probably won't read the manga just watched the animé but he's really abusive and I just don't get why this kinda material keeps getting labeled as romance. *shrug* You get the idea that you love them based on any less violent or more gentle action compared to the person's usual force and violence but it's really just an all abusive relationship.
I just watched Ai no Kusabi and I'm so confused. Why was it labeled as romance? Didn't have anything to do with that at all. Also didn't get the end I guess. ╥﹏╥
The literal meaning of Ai No kusabi is the space between. So it's about blonde people as the highest people with position in society, and their slaves (there's a huge space in there). Romance maybe because Iason, despite of his mean attitude, he's actually fall in love with Riki and doesn't want anyone to touch him. Idk maybe that's why, because that's what i understand( ̄∇ ̄")
yes, the older version is http://kissanime.ru/Anime/Ai-no-Kusabi why the newer version says (2012) next to it.
Are there any good mangas with martial arts in it? Especially interested in Aikido, Bujinkan, Judo and Jujutsu but others are fine too.
Evil Heart, Kenichi: world's mightiest disciple, How much do you lift (more about lifting weights and general gym stuff, but very informative), Rurouni Kenshin, Hajime no Ippo, Judos,
Sure! I practice Aikido myself and Evil Heart really captures the spirit of the art. Highly under appreciated in my opinion.
Are there any good BL with well.. more masc men? Doesn't need to be bara but maybe leaning that way with more realistic men/some body hair/facial hair/not as feminine looking
Vassalord :3
Try Zaria's works. Her uke's are masculine but at the same time very sexy. I leave a few here.

Have you tried Tetuzoh Okadaya's mangas? They fit ur description. I don't usually read Bara but they are kinda like in between usual BL & Bara (which is my tolerance level). I specially recommend her "Senya Ichiya - Shitone no Himegoto". It's a beautiful story - http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/senya_ichiya_shitone_no_himegoto/
Ohh hey thanks for the suggestions, this helps me out a lot. And same Takame, will also check out your other list (that one on plain looking uke haha). Got some reading to do now. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I have read Zariya's works actually and loved them.
Oh I haven't! Will look into it!
