I clicked post by accident lol
But just to continue, the girl in Animate had a hard time just to recall who Naono senses was. I finally found many Danna Sama manga in Mandarake, and brought them home with me as souvenir. So I was surprised when new manga from her were posted this year, and veeerryy happy. Don't let people forget her. You did God's work (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

It sad people don't know her anymore.I love her mangas so much. In the past, when webtoons were not yet common and popular series were series such as Koisuru Boukun, Rutta to Kodama, a translation group I followed translated a manga of it. (Not in English.) I liked the originality of the stories and the diversity of the couples so much. In my opinion, the most original BL mangas in the fantasy genre are still her mangas. (Same for not fantasy too) I love her mangas a lot!

Precisely that! When most of the couples were good looking 20-30 something characters, she was doing oyaji, bald samurai, zombies... and her manga are so quirky and light hearted. I worked on the translation to Portuguese in an scanlation group long time ago, for Three Wolves Mountain, which is my fav from her. Now there are more manga (and many many webtoon) being translated, so she's a little cast aside, but it's refreshing to see her art, which has an oldies feel, it's kind of messy in a good way, different from nowadays anime-esque simpler style. Glad to see someone show some love for Naono-sensei today (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

Maybe it's a thing of production. As it increases in amount and must be done faster, you lack the same time and care on the plots. Not that all clichè is bad, it's just some authors thrive on producing more rather than better.
But could also be because back in early 2000s we didn't have as much access to imported manga nor ways to translate them, so scanlators curated more whatever they were going to dedicate time and effort to translate. Now you can buy them digitally and translate using apps (or steal from some websites, that mangago does amazingly well), it's easier to have access to the actual whole crap BL had to offer. Lol

Genre tropes can actually be nice, since when you like a particular trope, it's easier to find similar manga. But I do think things are lacking originality more and more these days. I see the numbers of omegaverse and Domsub verse Mangas coming out as a sign for a lack of creativity, same as seeing more artists with similar simple art style (which I like, but it's never too striking). Not that I wish to return to 90s and 00s rape-fest-yaoi-hands manga, but it's the slowly finding authors and plots that have me hooked for the next chapter I miss.
Or maybe I'm just saturated by the sheer amount of manga I've been reading. Lol

Yeah I don't think genre tropes are bad. I, myself, always in for arranged marriage tropes. But this and orginality is different. You can also create a manga with original plot with genre tropes. I just don't find recent series interesting I guess. Whenever I start reading something most of times I don't have desire to completely read. There are still some series I am following with curiosity but very few. Also I feel like recent series focuses sex/sex life more than romance and story. Which is also one of reasons why I lost my interest I guess.
Another jerk boss manga with age difference (Oyajiiiii yey) but with bottom boss.
