Pretty sure he was top. That guy's profile had him listed as a "bottom."

Thank you! I must have not noticed that very important detail lol! I feel MUCH better now!

Lol third arms story I think is by a different mangaka. Symbolic but meaningful

contrary to popular belief, asexuals can have sex -they just don't enjoy it. I've read up on an asexual forum, a lot of them let their partners have sex with them because they want to fulfill their partner's need for intimacy -but they definitely don't feel any pleasure partaking (some even described sex as a chore like cleaning out a fridge, lol). just wanted to chime in the conversation.

I'm an asexual and married you can't imagine how hard it was at the beginning of our relationship. i actually went through identity crisis because i didn't know what was wrong with me but then i learned about asexuals and that cleared alot of things

I have best friends of mine who identify as asexual, and yes there are some who identify that way or feel that way, but there are also soooo many different versions and subclassifications of asexual that mean different things to different people. I don't necessarily think Joel being asexual would mean not having sex entirely.
I think Joel refuses sexual intimacy with Adam because of a mindset and belief that men shouldn't be together because of laws and politics, and some things about giving in to sexuality and his moral ground being part of his character, and maybe a little fear and some personal identity crisis.
Joel's inner struggle and Adams remark that he should think with his lower half for a change, which rattled Joel, made me think of this, and how maybe Joel could be just struggling with his personal and sexual identity--though that probably won't be the case here, he'll probably have to overcome his predispositions, and be open to being vulnerable and to come to terms with his feelings and then he and Adam will become romantic and intimate and have 100 fujoshi babies.
I was just thinking that wouldn't it be something if in BL some semblance of an asexual orientation would be represented, or even the concept was introduced (much how like in yaoi manga the concept of bisexuality is overlooked).

I used to identify as a no-contact asexual for a good six years or so--I had no desire to have physical relationship, but I did like the concept and I could feel turned on, I just didn't care for the physical contact part. By the time I came to terms with myself, found friends who GOT IT and supported me, and had to figure out that I wasn't broken and didn't need to be fixed and I was okay with myself--I found that I could be in contact with those that I felt romantically for, I just couldn't have a physical relationship with a stranger or sex friends or anything like that. But I think coming to terms was the hardest part, and learning about the different kinds of sexuality out there in general made me realize that there is no one or the other and everyone's entitled to be different and that there's enough people out there that no two are going to be entirely alike. I'm glad that you found yourself and were able to figure out who you truly are and find a spouse/partner who understood that, through the hurdles and all. Overall though, I'm glad you can be who you always were now (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

But that’s not the truth. Its not that Yuyang isnt interested in him. What we do know is that Yuyang finds Lihuan attractive, he just doesnt wanna invest time in someone and get hurt again.

True, true, I can see now that he Is definetley protecting himself from getting hurt and denying Lihuans feelings and orientation as mistaken is part of that. I think the point I was trying to make (that didn't come across well lol) was that if he wasn't interested in him, he could have said so like that and got the message across, and turned him down like that, but he didn't, he made sure to make the point that Lihuans isn't gay and he's just confused, and said some mean things to protect himself--so there's hope that if Yuyang is able to open his heart to another person and take that risk and accept Lihuan's feelings (and orientation, and more feelings) towards him, then there's a chance for their relationship to happen (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

If you live in China don’t even think of it.

why?(⊙…⊙ )

There is very bad controversy and rules in China about adult gay comics. If you don't notice it, many Chinese BL comics are tame, but Korean and Japanese ones easily get steamy. It's sad really. China limits the interests of their authors because they're against such a thing.

I believe that japanese books, not manga only, are read from right to left, so the right cover is a top one; so it seems that it is not really upside down...?

I own a few Japanese novels myself, so I do actually know that they are read right to left as are manga and magazines. I only came to the conclusion because of the barcode, which is standard for many book publishers to put in the bottom corner of the book instead of the top for identification, or at least on the bottom of the binding/back cover (I work for a publisher so I have firsthand experience on this), which I've also seen for Japanese books and novels and manga. At first glance that was my conclusion. Maybe the book had a half sleeve which moved the barcode up or the author just put it in a weird spot, but that was my first impression. Maybe it's not upside down, but it would have been too cute if it was (≧∀≦)

I have no idea, I've seen a few novels in Japanese only :) Maybe you are right, that would be nice xD
Btw, that thumb down is not from me! o.O

The book is not upside down. Coz when u zoom it, u can see the alphabet 'JC' is not upside down. But it is true that if the book is upside down, it would make a cute plot. And it will be a whole lot cute if the other cafe workers tease him for it!!!!!
