NutMan's question (12)

It's not a hot or cold take, but lukewarm. For example: harada makes mediocre stories carried by decent art and shock factor, authors like Asada or Akabeko cover similar ground but with actual substance behind the distracting shock.

Okay lets do this; both the MC and douchebag in 10 years where I loved you most, the twink from Jinx, and pretty much any other bottoms

I know this is a godless site, but there are some overlooked wholesome moments...right?

I swear to christ, every day there's at least one comment or discussion talking about rape. I get it, it's a hot button issue, but please can we have ONE day that doesn't circle back to atrocities. Sometimes it's not even the OP's fault, it'll just get brought up and it'll be pretty much the same discussion over and over again. I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about it, but I just wanna geek out about manga and want to be reminded of horrific atrocities every time I look at the forums

I've read a shit ton of bl, not as much as others but still more then average. I've come to realize that with bls, the ultimate purpose of the plot is to serve as a device to establish the relationship and dynamic between the ml and mc. In that sense, story itself in bl is a plot device. Some do have a comprehensive storyline, but they are usually still there to establish and explain the characters.

Stories that started off strong but just didn't maintain their appeal. The most notable example I'd say is Cherry Blossoms After Winter, with the hard shift to basically a pornhwa.

Besides Lost in the Clouds and Our Sunny Days, those are basic ass answers.

For me, I've been a hardcore fan of lost media since about 2016

Its a very serious question. I understand that frogs are more visually appealing, but I personally prefer the vibes of a toad, this sort of grumpy little guy that knows it's not as cool as a frog. Any thoughts?

Turkey for me

What I mean by lukewarm is not a good one, but not a bad one. It could be forgettable or just mid in general. I put forward 30 years old: It's something I've read and remember nothing about.

Anyone with half a brain cell can recognize rape and toxic stories are bad, you're not a trail blazer for saying that. And everybody backs them up like they're the shit for saying something that's common sense. Like we know Jinx and stories like it are bad, you don't have to circle jerk each other for not having shit taste.
