Nobody's Things

Usually if there are foreigners in manga, manwha manhua and anime or if it’s based somewhere not in their country of origin, it’s usually another Asian, American, German, Russian or ambiguously Middle Eastern character/country.

Just curious, what other foreign characters/countries have you encountered in your readings/watches?

Here are a few I remember:

Burlesque Night
Kaede is 1/4 Swede. (Grandma is Swedish).

Bleach
Chad is 1/4 Mexican (grandpa was Mexican).

Yuri on Ice
Ok, this one is cheating a bit, because it has an international cast, but even with it’s international cast, there’s a few characters from countries not typically featured.
Examples:
The American character isn’t a stereotypical blonde blue eyed person, he’s actually of Mexican descent.
There’s also an Italian, Czech, Kazakh, Canadian and Thai (these characters also have a fairly big spotlight).

G Gundam
Some of the Gundam pilots are from countries not typically featured much like Sweden, Mexico, France, Italy, Portugal.

The other day I read a comment and it made me realize something that got me curious.

I started my manga/manhwa journey back in 2004 (yeah I’m old), so I’ve read a lot of stuff over the years.

People are constantly asking for recommendations for BLs and I can never remember any titles to recommend that I’ve read in the past. All the recs are of more recent things, like 2020-present.

So I got to thinking, will I even remember some of the ones I’m reading now, in 20 years?

There are some stories I remember from back then, but overall I can’t remember if I had a favorite BL back then, and if I did, which was it?

Do you guys remember any of the older stories you used to like (it doesn’t have to be 20 years ago, I know a lot of people on here weren’t even born 20 years ago) or do you think you’ll remember your favorite in 20 years?

What are the series you read that are considered “bad” by most, yet you enjoy?

Lately there has been an uptick in uncensored releases.
Personally I prefer uncensored, but there are still many that aren’t being released uncensored, so I got to thinking, which series would you like to see released uncensored?

My list:

*Guiding Hazard
*Nerd Project
*The Beast must die (I have the official German release uncensored, but I can’t read German, so I’d like the English release to become uncensored.).
*Passion (I have the official Taiwanese release uncensored, but I can’t read Chinese, so I’d like the English release to become uncensored.).
*Codename Anastasia ( the novels have some very spicy scenes, and from what I’ve seen the comic is not uncensored.)

*Most black and white series. Since the images are b/w and the naughty bits are white, they literally get lost. I wouldn’t mind if they were semi-censored, like some manga where the naughty bits are shown in some kind of crosshatch design, or with those black bars. Anything but absolute white.

I’ve been wondering how are all these BL bottoms walking around like nothing after some hours-long intense sex?

Sometimes I’ll sleep wrong, or cough the wrong way or sit funny and cause my lower back to hurt and it’s uncomfortable and sometimes I can barely stand, yet these characters talk about how much it hurts, then next thing you know they’re freaking running like it’s nothing.

Their resilience amazes me.
