So... Neokinema's Ghost is alive (though apparently not very healthy) and he's the lover of Neokinema's boss (but also apparently his employee)?
I've reread this one countless times in the past 10 years. I just love it so much. Would LOVE to watch this as an anime.
The special went in a completely unexpected way to me but it was silly and made me laugh
I say this because there is no romance (so far). Only mostly politically-driven noncon sex.
If you look at the definitions, this can, indeed, be considered yaoi. But not BL.
- Yaoi: media focusing on romantic OR sexual relationships between male characters.
- BL: media focusing on romantic, emotional, and often intimate relationships between male characters.
are those your own distinctions, or did you get those definitions from somewhere else?
when I was newer to BL way back when, I thought it was shounen-ai vs. yaoi - both had romantic/intimate relationships between men, but only yaoi would have sex scenes. and that was because of how manga sites used their tags.
I couldn't tell you where exactly, but then I read somewhere that Japanese fans wouldn't make that distinction along those lines (shounen-ai being literally, [underage] boy love) and instead, BL/boy's love was the umbrella term that included everything that would be considered shounen-ai and yaoi to english speakers. they would just use "adult" or age ratings (r15/r18+) to indicate if it had sex in it. meanwhile yaoi was a doujin term whose English equivalent might be "pwp" because it was fan/derivative content of an existing work that was focused on sexual relationships between men and not much else. if you go on Japanese sites, officially published and fan works will both use BL, while yaoi is more so for fan works.
all this to say that I don't think the "love" in "boy's love" isn't so strict that master-peace wouldn't be considered BL, especially when that's used as a tag to indicate that it's got an intimate, non-platonic relationship between men in it, even if it's not necessarily romantic.
This is what showed up when I googled it.
Indeed, the authors made at least some changes to the original season 2 plan. A couple scenes shown in the season 2 preview ended up not in season 2. Not sure if they will come in season 3, but we don't see the white haired prick talking to Yeonjo and we don't see drunken Yeonjo coming all over Hee-ryang for sex in his final episode. Interesting
which I can't read but, you know, I looked at the pictures. And it's a very open ending. Like. It feels like there is more coming. I'm almost certain there will be a third series. BUT even if there isn't, that goodbye did not feel like a last goodbye at all. Of course I don't know what they are saying to each other because, again, I merely looked at the pictures. But this feels very much like a "see you later". By merely looking at the pictures, it feels to me like their current relationship will stay as is. At the very least, we can write fanfiction of what comes after this. Or am I completely delusional?
The bottom of the last page says "expect sensei's new work to be released in 2027!"
so fingers crossed!
Yay!! Thanks
This state official gets it like many readers don't. It's not only Yeonjo. This toxic obsessive love will also destroy Hee-ryang. They will be each other's downfall.
Your English is great! Thank you so much for doing this
