Nah. Looking back I had a bunch of ppl from my past who supported my love for anime and manga: gave me recs and let me borrow their volumes, showed me how to draw the style, anime club events, I even got to be club pez. Folks even gave me recs on BLs when I started getting into it. The schools I were at had normie kids who may not know much about a......   reply

1) Love Triangles. Please just let them be in an open relationship or a polycule. 2) Omegaverse. Very strict, almost heteronormative hierarchy that revolves around terms for wolves. Must this really be the only time we see mpreg? 3) Enemies to Lovers. Please do not make me watch two tsunderes get together, I hate tsunderes. And lastly, 4) Reveng......   reply

Anything by Oshimi Shuzo, he has a way of showing the dark psychological state of characters that is just so disturbing and facinating, like I feel my anxiety rise just like the MC as I watch things unfold.   reply

Level 999 Goblin. I enjoy it for what it is: a really absurd comedy manhwa. It's just one of those guilty pleasure slop stories you never take seriously (until is sprinkles in serious moments that actually hit you in the feels a lil).   reply

Concept artist and art vendor. Is it tough? Yes. Am I rich? Mm, nah. But gawd I love doing what I do Without my craft I am literally nothing.   reply

If we're talking authors as in mangakas/ creators: BWAT (Brothers Without a Tomorrow). They manage to pump out story after story and they somehow are always good. Only creator to make me enjoy an Enemies-to-Lovers Omegaverse, two genres I genuinely hate. 2nd would have to be Ranmaru Zaria. I've followed her work for awhile and just love the way sh......   1 reply

First to really set me up for success was Hare and Guu. Watched it on F*nimation channel (rip).   1 reply

I'd say right now. While I can note some positives about the 90s-2010 era BL mangas, doujins and anime that I grew up on, the current era of full-color BL manhwa just has so much variety and I just think webcomics in general are a great medium, I'm so glad Korean fujos started contributing more to the BL scene. I'm also glad for the increase in ......   reply

Highly recommend reading "I Wanna Die Before I'm 30" if you havent already, an actual "we all into each other" type couple with three guys.   reply

Oh, if it's stuff that needs more attention, I'm giving it to "My Sweet Psycho Baby". For the folks that needed Killing Stalking to be a comedy on cocaine, this is for you.   reply

Ok so I'll come clean about one: I'm currently reading Reverse Thinking cuz I really gotta see what tf Jiwook did to end up with the worst fucking life possible and the most twisted ML. Also the top is fking pretty I'm sorry bruh, Juyeun looks fking beautiful As for the rest, I mean I knew what to expect when I saw Lee Geumsan was doing the art. ......   reply

(No way we're calling Killing Stalking old school now Im getting fking old) But anyway yeah, it's primetime drama. It engages us with all the things that'll garner the most obvious reactions. Nothing inherantly wrong with that, just a matter of how long you can handle bad writing.   reply

I'm more lenient with mangas than manhwas, but overall no. If the plot is insanely good idc, I'll usually tell based on the summary and genre if it's worth starting. Plenty of mangas that have awful/ mediocre art but incredible story (Mob-Psycho, Shinjuku Swan, Shutline, Helter Skelter). Meanwhile, plenty of stories I've read with incredible art ......   reply

Kizuna OVA. As a kid, I asked the question "what does two guys kissing look like", and since I was into anime I searched for anime dudes kissing and found that alongside a bunch of drama CDs and YT yaoi manga scans. It's been a cool journey ever since :)   reply
