Read Manga

Okay so everytime i read something a bit intense (for example dark heaven) i have to take a break.

and its not because im triggered by anything (at least i dont think i am...cause i can handle reading a whole bunch of stuff and have read things that had worse stuff in it just fine)

but i get sooo much anxiety about whats about to happen next. like its so bad i get super overwhelmed and i have to pause the story (and not even for a day but like i literally bookmark it and remove it and read it later, like maybe months later. it depends on if i remember to do so or not)

idkk maybe i am triggered by smth, but ive read many things similar to dark heaven and ig it "doesnt get to me". i think im too immersed into the story but idk

just wondering if this is normal tho lol

I want to know what's the most fucked up thing you've read on this site,
mines feeding lamb.

So I read this one story that just popped back into my memory that I wanted to reread but I couldn't think of the name or find it in my already reads. It was basically about this one famous swimmer/diver who was said to be really beautiful but he ended up retiring and the main character found them when the swimmer/diver was older like in the 50s and confessed to them making the man self conscious about himself saying that he wasn't beautiful anymore but he main kept confessing and later his feeling went through. Some other context was one of the reasons he retired was because of a scandal that he was only at the top of the swimming world was cause he was sleeping with his coach selling his body for the top spot basically. Idk if that's enough to have someone know the same story but I thought the story was nice but I couldn't think of the name

As users of a manga piracy site I'm wondering how you guys feel about Tachiyomi no longer being actively developed, likely due to threats from the company Kakao.

I find it a bit surprising that they can do such a thing because (iirc) Tachiyomi is like a front-end and doesn't really contain any pirated material itself?? I'm not sure how many of you guys use or know tachiyomi as the mangago extension for it stopped working ages ago but it's like another manga reading app essentially, where you source the manga from other sites.

It's always the manhwa companies man, as someone who reads exclusively manga someone should just create something that only hosts manga (which probably won't stop copyright issues but they seem less aggressive than korean companies as of late.) Let me read my manga in peace (╬￣皿￣)凸

And mangas are quite different from manhwas. I feel like most manhwa authors are just making story to earn their living. As a result their work seems way too corporate, filled with cliches. On the other hand I feel like mangas are a lot better in the sense that the stories feel more heartfelt. I know mangas also have clichés but it's not like how manhwas overuse the same trope again and again and again until you get sick and tired of seeing it everywhere.

Anyways if you had to recommend one BL manga (as in Japanese black and white manga not manhwa) what would it be ?

Can someone help me find this manga "Childhood Friends With a Two-Year Age Difference"?
