feeling like a creep rn

No literally why tf did 6 ppl dislike this

The way I forgot they were that young while reading the story

i forgot i was too old for this cuz i was their age when i first read it

weirdos...

So is every other high-school themed BL manga though

yah but drawinf them fucking and doing sexual things is pretttyyyyy weird

Maybe. But the intention matters. And as bad as this may sound, anime and manga have always been mostly about teens. Even the r18 ones. You can't ostracise this single mangaka when everyone is doing it the same way. And like I already said, intention matters. Based on the story, do you think the author made this because they wanted to see teen boys screwing? No. They wanted to make a cute story set in high-school. And they're a yaoi mangaka. Ofc there's sex in this. But it doesn't feel predatory because imo their intentions are clear. If you're uncomfortable with stuff like this, I suggest you avoid any BL manga set in high-school, unless it's labelled as shounen ai. Check the tags. Avoid the yaoi tag.

This should not be normal to you … just bc other mangakas do it, doesnt mean its normal dude .??? The author couldve made a cute story about teenagers without the sex yknow!! Like how paskim does it.

Sex isn't inherently a bad thing. I agree it shouldn't be normal, but most teen shows still show sex between teens. Euphoria for example. I'd say that is inherently worse as it features real people. And paskim? There are a million better examples you could have chosen as an example of a "cute story about teenagers" but you chose the manhwa where said characters beat up each other and are frequently toxic.These two are 1000 times a more healthy couple than that. All I was trying to say was, why are you surprised a YAOI manga has YAOI? avoid the yaoi tag with a high-school theme from now on, and you won't be uncomfortable. And I've been watching/reading anime and manga since I was 10. Unfortunately, a lot of things have become "normal" to me as a result. There are many things wrong with the anime and manga industry. Sex between two consenting teenagers in a cute story is not one of them.

Lol the characters might beat tf out of eachother but theres no age limit to that, no? Im sure this story couldve been cute without the smut too!

For sure! But our conversation seems to be going nowhere. It doesn't look like we'll see eye to eye on this. I would have a problem with this too of I sense this was predatory in any way. But in my opinion, it doesn't feel that way. And healthy sex between teenagers is just as important of a representation. But even I wouldn't wanna see it if it was real people acting it out. Drawings on a paper and real people acting has different nuances to it. But ofc, just because they're drawings on a paper, doesn't mean they can get away with drawing anything. Such as pedophilic content. But the characters in this story do not look like children, and it's all shown in a healthy and respectful way in my opinion. If you feel another way, that's understandable too. Hence why I was suggesting you things to look out for.

And also, sure, violence does have age limits. Many things can be labelled as r18 cause of the violence. If you're trying to say teens fight, then by that logic, teens have sex too so what's your point? And encouraging violence among teenagers isn't a very good thing either. But these are two entirely different topics. Lost in the clouds and Golden Sparkle simply can't be compared because of how vastly different they are in terms of genre. BL is just a label to denote mlm.

They can't ne compared just on the basis that they're both BL. Their genres are different

Suzumaru Minta also has a few other comics that feature adults. I suggest you check those out instead of this if this makes you uncomfortable. Cupid ni Rakurai is also a fave of mine among her other works and is simply a masterpiece, and you'd be missing out if you didn't read it, but it's also set in high-school so it probably wouldn't make you feel comfortable. You might like Koi wo suru tsumori wa nakatta though!

And you said this could be a cute story without the smut too . But, like, the whole premise is based on sex and masturbation so you should've stopped reading it then. It would be a completely different story if they took away the sex

Yeahhh i see what ur saying now ><! The characters r painfully cute, but I think the creator has a thing for making smutty stories set in school life in general, so I was a bit guarded

TEENS UNDER 18 SHOULDNT BE DEPICTED HAVING SEX BECAUSE irl thats child porn ! I know this isnt real life but it stills feels weird, bc if this were off paper then readers would be arrested realll quick

lollll thank u, ill give them a read! (▰˘◡˘▰)
