I also don't remember most of my highschool friends also middle school friends or primary school friends and also I don't remember most of my university friends. I only remember few people that I was close. I always wondered how some people remember everyone lol (I don't remember most of my teachers too)
Seriously? You probably have lots of friends. I remember them all, even my classmates that are so freaking loud and even teachers that I have one-sided beef with lmao.
I am just bad at remembering people generally. I have to force myself (study?) if I want to remember face and name of someone. Even if I learn, I forgot people I am not so close after some years. That's why I don't remember most. For example high school, I remember my best friends and some of my classmates I talked. I don't remember my other classmates but if I saw them again even if I don't know their name I can recognize them little like "Yes I was in same class with this person." . But I don't remember others. Like people from other classes, or my seniors or juniors. Even people I went to abroad together with school, it was my first time going to abroad so it was exciting memory but I don't remember people I went togheter (students and teachers). I think remembering people also is talent.
I remember the ones from university less than the ones from high school. Because of covid, 1.5 year of my university was online. I forgot most people's faces and names in this process. I don't remember the names of any of my teachers. I remember about 5 of my department friends and I don't remember rest. I probably can't even recognize people I was in same classes. It was a 4-year university department.
Another jerk boss manga with age difference (Oyajiiiii yey) but with bottom boss.

Guess people don't know Naono Bohra anymore lol
She's my absolute favorite, I love her manga. （/TДT)/ Ren aí nenrei is adorbs <3
But real story: I visited Japan in January and went to the Otome Road Animate... they didn't have a single Naono Bohra manga.
I clicked post by accident lol
But just to continue, the girl in Animate had a hard time just to recall who Naono senses was. I finally found many Danna Sama manga in Mandarake, and brought them home with me as souvenir. So I was surprised when new manga from her were posted this year, and veeerryy happy. Don't let people forget her. You did God's work (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
It sad people don't know her anymore.I love her mangas so much. In the past, when webtoons were not yet common and popular series were series such as Koisuru Boukun, Rutta to Kodama, a translation group I followed translated a manga of it. (Not in English.) I liked the originality of the stories and the diversity of the couples so much. In my opinion, the most original BL mangas in the fantasy genre are still her mangas. (Same for not fantasy too) I love her mangas a lot!
Precisely that! When most of the couples were good looking 20-30 something characters, she was doing oyaji, bald samurai, zombies... and her manga are so quirky and light hearted. I worked on the translation to Portuguese in an scanlation group long time ago, for Three Wolves Mountain, which is my fav from her. Now there are more manga (and many many webtoon) being translated, so she's a little cast aside, but it's refreshing to see her art, which has an oldies feel, it's kind of messy in a good way, different from nowadays anime-esque simpler style. Glad to see someone show some love for Naono-sensei today (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I think most of the fans of yaoi for so long will still remember sensei. Miss that time where most of the yaoi mangas are unique (▰˘◡˘▰)
I also miss original (unique) plots a lot. Most of what has been translated lately is (in my opinion) not very original. Many forgettable stories are based on the same clichés. I guess it's partly because popular culture was created in BL/GLs. Different stories don't come out very often anymore.
Maybe it's a thing of production. As it increases in amount and must be done faster, you lack the same time and care on the plots. Not that all clichè is bad, it's just some authors thrive on producing more rather than better.
But could also be because back in early 2000s we didn't have as much access to imported manga nor ways to translate them, so scanlators curated more whatever they were going to dedicate time and effort to translate. Now you can buy them digitally and translate using apps (or steal from some websites, that mangago does amazingly well), it's easier to have access to the actual whole crap BL had to offer. Lol
Genre tropes can actually be nice, since when you like a particular trope, it's easier to find similar manga. But I do think things are lacking originality more and more these days. I see the numbers of omegaverse and Domsub verse Mangas coming out as a sign for a lack of creativity, same as seeing more artists with similar simple art style (which I like, but it's never too striking). Not that I wish to return to 90s and 00s rape-fest-yaoi-hands manga, but it's the slowly finding authors and plots that have me hooked for the next chapter I miss.
Or maybe I'm just saturated by the sheer amount of manga I've been reading. Lol
Yeah I don't think genre tropes are bad. I, myself, always in for arranged marriage tropes. But this and orginality is different. You can also create a manga with original plot with genre tropes. I just don't find recent series interesting I guess. Whenever I start reading something most of times I don't have desire to completely read. There are still some series I am following with curiosity but very few. Also I feel like recent series focuses sex/sex life more than romance and story. Which is also one of reasons why I lost my interest I guess.
This was such a nice read. Honestly enjoyed this more than this manga

Glad you enjoyed it! ヾ(☆▽☆)
Ehem ehem. Tamamen şahsi fikrim bu, sonuçta zevkler ve renkler tartışılamaz, herkesin sevdiği şey farklıdır.

Bu son zamanlarda çıkan BL'ler ne kadar rezalet yahu. Şu baktığım dikdörtgen ekrandan her bir serideki karakterlerin tek tek sıfatına ve şahsiyetine tükürmek istiyorum. ML'sinin de MC'sinin de gına geldi yeminlen. Zerre sevilesi tarafları yok. Bir açıdan tencere kapaklar iki sevimsiz , biri psikopat biri salak (ama sevimsiz bir salak ve sevimsiz bir psikopat) , konu, hikaye yerlerde, romantizim desen leş. BL'ler her zaman hikaye açısından %80 zayıf olmuştur ama hiç bu kadar dibi gördüğü bir dönem olmadı. Niçin mi bu seriye yazdım? Özellikle garezim buna değil, genel bir garezim var piyango buna çıktı diyelim. Psikolojikmişmiş toksikmişmiş, gidin harada okuyun, asada nemui, nakamura asumiko, ogawa chise vs okuyun onların iyisi için. Bu webtoonlar toksik ilişki adı altında hikayesi çok zayıf, rezalet seriler. Bunu da içimden attım ya iyi oldu. Bana katılan yorumlara da (olursa) canı gönülden hazırım , linçleyenlere de.
I wish more people read this! It is funny and cute but most important thing is I ship Leo and Suya so hard! I need to see their babies in the end of series!! (Not me reading this series like some kind of slow-burn romance T_T)
Tbh I prefer fluffy plots more most of time but I kinda trust to and have exception from this artist/author. Even I don't know why. This is only this kind of webtoon I am reading lol (I used to read every kind of things btw but when you read a lot your taste also starting to shape lol)
Shizun gongs are so rare (even in novels) we must cherish.
Dam true ! You remind me of that Husky and his cat shixun
And all other novels with apprentice x shizun. Tbh if it is a story with a shizun, most of time shizun is the shou. I read very few stories with shizun gong, Idk maybe 5? And 4 of them were in chinese so I used MTL. Tho recently I didn't look at novel uptades so maybe there are new novels with Shizun gong.
This villian has something to say is also Shizun gong
This one, I also want to cultivate spiritually with shizun , Devil Venerable also wants to know (honestly don't know if this counts) and maybe some other novels I don't know. But I don't think there are more than five (translated)?
I actually prefer shizun gongs but I also want shizun gong with good plot. I mean there are already a lot of novels with good plots with shizun shou, but as a gong?? Not even close.
Devil Venerable Also Wants Know is good tho but I don't know if it counts shizun gong. Shou was more like a right-hand man / guardian than a student.
Oh no that is a disgust piece of trash, hate that so much
IKR, there are almost none shizun gongs, they’re all bottoms TT
Ughhh love this !! I wish there were more beastman mangas that didn't have human faces (or human forms). ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
