Why yall complaining sm about it not being a shounen ai anymore. It doesnt need to be bl to make it a good book? If youre talking about the queer bating yeah, the author probably did that to get more readers (I'm one of them) but I see no problem on this being straight or not bl

    Thats absolutely correct but the problem is marketing it, labelling it as bl only to change it. The problem isnt the author wanting to make a bl story or not, it's the fact it started as one and now it's apparently not anymore

    Why is it queer baiting?? Yoshiki is definitely at least bi, it seems so was Hikaru, it’s just that the story isn’t so much focused on the romance right now, it’s more focused on the mystery and “Hikaru’s” origin and what he actually is. The story even said “Hikaru” is an otherworldly being that doesn’t really have a concept of romantic love and human grief, the story is more about Yoshiki coming to terms with his grief for the live he had for Hikaru that didn’t have a chance to develop and now can never be

    But with the removal of the the tag that gives confirmation that there IS romance between them, now its like- is everything just speculation? Plus another comment here says the author posted on their twitter that they dont have feelings for each other. Idk if that's true but if thats the case... we have been baited

    I don’t thinks it’s baiting because Yoshiki is definitely still queer even if nothing happens between him and “Hikaru”. Something happening between “Hikaru” and Yoshino is like something happening between Yoshiki and an alien, that wouldn’t really be bl

    It is most likely done by the author so it can get as much reader as it possibly can. The author seems to know that some women/girls fetishize mlm so the author made a book with a 'shounen ai' tag at its release. Now that the amount of reader is a lot, the author probably wanted to remove the tag (I apologize if this doesn't make any sense. English isn't my first language)
