Lololol i don't use tiktok but wth dark themed stories doesn't mean it's bad writing. What I like about Harada is that yeah some of her stories are effed up but like she's so wicked good at writing them. The way she sets up the panels, the pacing, the writing itself. I feel like her approach to dark styled writing is
Bruh i got cut off . But yeah I feel that Harada's approach to dark stories differs from others in that the dark twists that are infamously incorporated are slowly developed. Idk how to explain like usually w other stories sometimes the dark aspect can feel so sudden or forced but w Harada it just slowly creeps into the story . Like everything is normal and then bOOM . The gradual approach makes the dark stuff even more disturbing for me ( ̄∇ ̄")
Right like I think Harada is rly good at storytelling and I like that her characters are kinda realistic in the way they deal with it bc I think ppl think that when trauma happens people have to take time and deal with it but for a lot of people they tend to laugh it off or try to continue with their lives and sometimes breakdown which Harada shows rly well (ex. Yatamomo)
Yeah I mean good for recognizing those mangas but let’s not forget our roots. When I started reading BL it was mostly b&w and I still prefer those to the new Color ones. Like these days ppl be starting on KS & BJ Alex whereas I started on Junjo romantica & YBC. Also if this site gets taken down bc ppl keep putting it on tiktok im coming for necks
I hate that on tiktok Harada-Sen is only known for their rly dark works and everyone’s like ewww they’re such a bad writer when they have such bangers like Yatamomo and Yoru to Asa and this one. Like yes some of their stuff is fucked and they writes with a dark undertone but let’s not act like they’re not a good writer.
