Didn’t like the novel writing so I think this is a bit better than it writing wise and the art yeah as someone who read SB for years seeing the artist’s progression over the years is crazy fun it’s beautiful. I don’t think anyone who feels bad for Jiwook is terrible even though he did that to Juyeon rn it’s like he’s just raping and beating an innocent person rather than getting his revenge on equal grounds. I’d like to see how this goes preferebly with longer chapters but Korea is allergic to giving artists manageable schedules that won’t retire them in 10 years.
Tbh, I liked the artists style a lot more in SB... the art is still good, but something feels so off, and the features of the characters look a little too sharp, especially the faces compared to SB... I'm still here though I guess. Story is whatever; I was just happy to see the artists drawings again...
the first one I'm looking for is where there is a blonde fml who basically lives on some sort of planet(?)alone yk like shiki from eden's zero and she has some sort of butler idk but he's not human and they fall in love at the end.
another one is as shoujo manga with a princess and some other guys it is based on king arther and the knights of the roundtable legend and i'm pretty sure it has a novel as well. it's pretty old.
both are niche manga sorry for the trouble
Don’t know first one sorry, but the second is probably this https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/qishi_huanxiang_ye/
It’s been 30 years…jk came back and saw that some probably new readers are confused about whether this is BL or not well copying my past answers I’ll answer that:
1. “Sensei said on twitter that it isn't a BL but you're free to see it as one. Some sites put it under BL which Sensei says is not but doesn't mean that you can't ship. As for their blood drinking scenes that are super sensual they say it just happened LMAO hope they continue feeding us such scenes”
2. “I was in fact the commenter but they don't mind that perception and the English license is by a BL publisher which obviously has to go through the author so labelling it BL would be okay too!”
3. “Also the new volume is coming Japan the author joked about how the cover is a bit more BLesque. For those who are confused this isn't a BL cause it's not published in the mags for it "it's aimed to the general youth demo but depicts relationships between male characters" these are the author's words in a reply to someone on twt”
Now for some words of wisdom from an old fujoshi. BL is huge I mean massive and diverse basically that it is a genre with sub-genres most see it as romance but BL isn’t solely romance. Not every BL will come from a BL mag in fact our roots are actually in shoujo BL is technically at its heart shoujo that’s our mother we have shounen BL i.e. Blue Flag and Seraph of the End. This manga in particular is seinen and we do have Double as an example. What you need to understand that if the central romantic or sexual relationship is homosexual by all technicalities it falls under BL but if the author rejects then by respect we’ll just say queer for example TSHD is a BL but we’ll call it queer since the author doesn’t see it that way. “But the relationship here is pretty ambiguous
Also the author put out a BL oneshot on the 28th of August their twt is @higemoku
I think my comment is either glitched out on my side or everyone but following the ambiguous part I said that The Night Beyond The Tricornered Window is similar in that aspect but labelled BL because it was published in a BL mag so it basically depends…people think Killing Stalking isn’t a BL(hilariously) just off their presumption of BL needing romance when it’s broad and not that confined. Also go read Requiem of the rose king
Waaaaaaah! Thank you so much for all this info! Has definitely brought clarity upon the premise of whether it was BL or not, haha. Also thanks for the author-nims twitter! Will be looking forward to the oneshot!!
I also agree that KS is definitely a BL, simply a toxic one that focuses on thriller and horror, like plenty do
“It just happened” hahahahha I totally get the author sometimes the characters you draw just possess you and you make smth that wasn’t intended
Yessss one of my faves is The Beast Must zdie and the seme can’t feel love but that doesn’t make it a BL still dates and sleeps with the uke so I always scratch my head at KS being debated
*not
Lmfao like vampires are pretty erotic why stop at hetero and not go homo
Exactly! And The Beast Must Die is absolutely well written! The amount of time I've reread it has surpassed double digits, haha
