A harem protagonist surrounded by beautiful girls except the dude is gay and falls in love with the side-bro.
No matter what he does he's stuck doing typical harem tropes (e.g trips and accidentally gropes a girl's boobs, the guy gets beat up by the tsundere girl because of a misunderstanding) and the poor guy just wants to have a happy bromance with his friend.
I was gonna follow but then I realized the title says “Manga Idea” dammit!
i feel ya
I am still trying to find that manga and came up woth my own ideas to write about
WHAT it exists??? You can't leave me hanging without a link!! Σ(๑ó⌓ò๑)
Thank you so much! It pretty much fit my idea perfectly and I enjoyed the read.
Such a shame that it's only a one-shot though... o(TﾍTo)
wait what i wanna know
Finally found the manga
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/im_the_main_character_of_a_harem_manga_but_im_gay_so_every_day_is_hell_for_me/
And my idea was the typical “I got summoned to another world” in it the Mc made a hero party with girls who are dumbly in love with him and he finds that annoying and tries many ways to kill- uh i mean cut them off but the girls are always saved by the timely intervention of a hot guy who the MC tries to flirt with but always get cockblock by the girls. So when it is time to defeat the demon king, he faked his death whil forcing the DK in a master slave contract and MC be came the new DK and start put his conquest of creating an all male harem. He some what succeeded but its was hard because he is still being cockblock by girls. The only time he managed to do the deed is with the original DK right after the master slave contract. Oh and the MC is the seme cause i am sick of a uke point of view where he complains about his tragedies and there are way to much MC uke in novels. I gave up on the idea cause of class and i cant really right comedy.
OMG I don't mean to exaggerate but that idea is amazing! don't give up, with lots of proof-reading and help I'm sure you can make it work!
I liked it. Would be a cool fanfic to write. I know I’d read it.
Do you ever just read a manga and the plots alright and the characters are tight but then the female character comes in and you look down and see her huge bonkhonagahoogs and you're like "Yep that was probably drawn by a guy"
Bonus if everyone else is wearing proper armor meanwhile she's wearing panties with some chest plate push-up bra showing her big busty dohoonkabhankoloos
While it’s not a manga, there’s a YouTube channel called Society of Virtue that’s addresses that trope with their female characters, specifically one called Majesty. And it’s hilarious.
Does anyone else like it when a character who primarily wears one colour suddenly wears clothing the opposite colour during some important part of the story or crucial character arc.
e.g Someone who always wears black wears white after they get a redemption arc
For some reason, such a small thing is so impactful to me and I get a little fuzzy whenever it happens.
reminds me of this

LMAO, ProZD is literally the best XD
Thanks for the laugh!
I want to make a webtoon so I gathered some tropes for the story however I ended up getting too carried away and made too many tropes for me to work with xwx
Please let me know which trope is the most interesting and I'll prob focus on that. (I wrote some of these tropes half awake so they might not make sense on some parts >q<)
1: An outcast witch saves a vampire running away from a mob of humans attempting to kill him. They become a couple later on and go on wacky adventures featuring supernatural creatures and witchcraft.
They're a switch couple and the vampire is verrrry toll
2: A story about 2 special escort service workers falling in love. The main couple is a switch and both female, however, the more dominant one out of the couple mostly bottoms.
3: A boy questioning his sexual identity stumbles upon a renovated cafe that once was a gay bar and meets the owner who is an openly gay man who once was a regular at the bar. The cafe owner mentors the boy about discovering his identity and shares his experiences of being a homosexual in very traditional times. The 2 have a platonic relationship since the owner is likely middle-aged/elderly whereas the boy is in high school.
4: An omega sheep-girl meets an alpha wolf-boy and the sheep-girl reveals to be sadistic in bed and likely pegs the dude at some point.
5: The daily lives of a sorcerer and knight couple that live in a world plagued with beasts that are their race's main source of resources. The knight is a buff dude who is a power bottom and the sorcerer is a seductive, charming dude whos versatile
6: A fellow priest discovers an injured woman in an alleyway and saves her by bringing her to the church he resided in. The girl works as a nun but later reveals to be a devil and seduces the priest. The girl is actually not a succubus (won't spoil her true identity) and reveals to the priest that he is tainted which explains why she was able to enter the church unharmed. The priest is into bdsm and the demon girl is the mistress.
Idk 3 or 4

3 or 4 Sound interesting to me
2 or 5
Haha glad someone's also on the same boat as me XD
Good lucky on your webtoon journey too and may you create great stories to come!
4,1,5 and 6 in that order is what I would be interested in. But all sound like good starting points.
I think that you have given basic plot outlines and not tropes. As tropes are basically cliches and overused plot devices or themes.
Normally it is best to start with the one that you feel like you have the most intrest in writing at the time but keep a notebook for all your plot ideas for future projects.
What I was told when I mentioned an interest in doing some digital comics instead of hand drawn ones. (You might find useful).
To note that doing digital comics and webtoons in different to print ones. I was told by a digital comic book artist at a convention to research computer colours and tones (international computer standards) because she had not and had to redo her colouring as her computer monitor had a tint to it.
Also if you are planning in any way to do a long term project to invest in a good drawing tablet (one of my digital artist friends had several fall apart from wear and tear because he didn't research the reviews on the tablets properly).
Ah thank you so much for the advice! The colour one was really helpful since colours always happen to look different on my phone and look fine on my computer!
I called them tropes cause I thought some of them were pretty corny & unrefined but I appreciate the correction! >///<
Sorry, it's a bad habit from when I taught English.
It's no problem! I learn something new everyday (￣∇￣ )
I absolutely hate nosy relatives. A while back I was book shopping for the 2nd volume of shimanami tasogare and had to get my aunt & cousin to drive me to the bookstore.
I got the book and was waiting in line to pay for it, but suddenly my aunt asked me what book it was and if she could see.
Now my aunt is Filipino and the only knowledge of lgbt she has are tomboys and bakla in which she does not view in a positive way so there was absolutely no way I was going to show her the book.
I told her it was some random manga but yet she kept insisting to see it despite me saying no and explaining its just a random Japanese comic.
My cousin suddenly grabbed the book from me and handed it to my aunt. Luckily she didn't read the summary and thought the cover had 2 separate people (It was a boy putting lipstick on a girl which was actually "himself" for those wondering) so they didn't throw a fit about what I was reading, but had I bought yaoi/yuri that day I probably would of committed sepaku at the spot.
I don't understand why relatives can't just take no for an answer, it's not like I yelled at her or was rude, I simply said it was just a manga but for some reason she was so eager to know what it's about. Now I know who to avoid shopping with when buying yaoi/yuri at the bookstore smh （￣へ￣）
Sa fully booked meron
Saan yun meron bang branch sa quezon city?
Better buy it alone next tym, or, maybe, with friends...
Learn to drive, get students lisence and stuff...
I get to see filipinos at work who wont just leave others alone... they have tendency to open the deepest darkest secret of somebody just because of curiousity... well... lets move on
I read the summary of that manga it seem interesting I will read it later ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Ik family being nosy can be pretty annoying but next time try to come up with a simple plot or something so you dont leave them with any curiosity or say something super uninteresting so theyre not like oooh show me lmao in times like that its better to lie than be honest bc u already how theyre gonna react if u say the truth sooo
Ahh the hardships of being in a filipino family
I suggest refraining from buying bl/gl stuff with them altogether or be open abt it. Depende kung gaano ka open family mo~
Sampalin mo sila (〜￣△￣)〜
I would've bitch slapped them with the manga. Privacy motherfucker, ever heard of it. You don't go to her house asking to see her underwear drawer.
I don't live in the Phil, na binili ang libro at local bookstore (Chapters)
Lmaooo, sobrang extra mo, auntie dearest would beat me with a broomstick if I even talked back to her smh X(
Ahh my friends don't know I'm obsessed with books like yaoi/yuri and I'd feel bad for buying such books with innocent people XD
I would drive there on my own but I don't live in the city where the bookstore is located and my relatives offered me to come since they were going on errands there also. The moment I live off on my own I'm going to go ravenous and buy as much manga as I want! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
You'd be surprised how prideful my relatives are when they want to see something they really want to see. Although I didn't give out a flat-out fake plot summary of the book, I'm 105% sure they would of been like "okay cool but nay wanted to see the cover and stuff inside the book so hand it over." (〜￣△￣)〜
Way to go gurl... greatest luck ahead
Mangaka: So there are these two boys
Me: Mhm...
Mangaka: And they both reaaaaally love each other and have hearts of gold
Me: Ah yes...
Mangaka: But the thing is...
Me: huh...
Mangaka: Both of them
Me: sweats*
Mangaka: Are incredibly
Me: Wheezing**
Mangaka: Stupid
Me: (╯°Д °)╯❣
‘-‘)
is this a reference to smth I wanna know
Just a reference to a slow burn trope where the love interests are just too dense to realize that yes, they do in fact love each other (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Cuddling & Gentle Kisses >>>>>>>>>>>> Hardcore Smut scene
go for lesbians then
GL is great but man does it feel good to have the male couple embrace each other, smooch and just love each other without having to plow each other's asses to death. But that's just my personal tastes ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I hear ya. Shounen ai has always been there for me (⌒▽⌒)
true shit tho ive never seen a cute bl manga where they kiss and cute moments it's just that 'oh you're so cute'! then proceeds to fuck him or rape him. that's why i went to gl
it's good girls don't have that steel rods.
i barely bat an eye when i read hardcore smut but i melt and get embarrassed over the gentle cuddles and kisses lol ╮(￣▽￣)╭
search futanari (⊙…⊙ )
I did it and it said sheMALE.
YESSS WHAT A MOOD! I can plow through hardcore smut, no matter how smutty it is but the moment the 2 mcs start giggling and hugging I just explode and squeal??? Such an odd feeling aint it
What are some prompts/tropes in BL that you wish were more common but are actually very rare to find!
Wholesomeness
I've read a lot of those, but a lot of yaoi seems to be a lot of rapey vibes to it and reading sweet wholesome content is just refreshing
(If anyone has recommendations, plz send them to purify my soul)
star x fanboy
cherry blossoms after winter
Sign

Playtime with hakdo
If you need anymore or youve already read those LMK! :)
Gentle and respectful but kinky semes
Childhood friend trope that doesn’t end with one of them forcing the other, but mutual feelings and actually talking instead of the seme just doing stuff and the uke going along with it. Kinda 19 days vibe or 7 days, which is surprisingly rare to find.
Virgin couple that switch (seke)
Hope someone can recommend me
When they switch positions. Finding that is pure gold
Have you read dark heaven?
Some non rape omegaverse manga
Alpha x Beta
Beta x Omega
Alpha x Alpha
Girl alpha x Boy Omega (?) if that’s possible
I’m not in love with the art, and I have a hard time getting into stuff if I don’t like it. I’ve heard nothing but great things about it though but i only made a small dent into reading it.
I would love more intersex (hermaphrodite). As in http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kalimeris_porno/
Let me tell you this. The arts is not that good but the story is really amazing definitely one of the best i recommend you should read it
Perfectly fine romance manga with an interesting plot and good characters: *exists*
The mangaka: mMMMMMm how about we make the main couple RELATIVES! ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Ooh I've heard of that manga! Luckily I saw someone's disappointed comments about the incest and I dropped it before even reading it! I have zero tolerance against incest no matter how good the plot and this post was honestly just to vent my frustration on the manga Citrus. (╬￣皿￣)
What are some of your favourite characters from a BL Manga/Manhwa/Manhua?
Wolfgang from King's Maker and Yoon Taemin from At The End Of The Road!! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
ooof
Why am I getting oofed...
lol i just noticed i didn't have one until you asked this. there's a bunch of great characters but not enough for me to call them a favorite of mine. a few might've made an impression on me but nothing too concrete if i can't even name them on the top of my head.
Oof
Siwon from a guy like you, badass uke. Best uke of all time.
The uke from raising a bat (forgot the name) very strong and their problem was easily resolves.
yeasss
I agree! I last read King's Maker a while ago (like over a year oof), but I remember being distinctly more interested in the plot, and Wolfgang's progression from Peasant to Prince then the actual romance aspect of it. I only ever read shounen ai/yaoi, so you *know* it means I really like the character
