A sketch for my friend lmao
Hi! I’m a PhD student with a focus media and sexuality studies, specifically BL. Long story short yes, I 100% believe it is fine. In fact, these sort of fantasies can even be healthy, when they remain within the realm of fantasy. I’ll be leaving links to academic sources about this below. This goes with other kinds of illegal things—murder, c......
Director Kang: *monotone voice* "oh no. The chairman couldn't come. What. A. Shameeeeee."
Them: having passionate sex, feelings opening up to each other, blushing and being absorbed in each other's world.Me: IS SOMEONE GONNA WALK IN? IS THERE A LOCK ON THE DOOR? IS THAT WINDOW TRANSPARENT OR IS IT TINTED SO PEOPLE CAN/CAN'T SEE INSIDE?
Also me: Give them a RAISEEEE they are top-notch multitaskers
yes the art style IN the beggining looks abit mmm (no comment) but i found the artist and they said they drew the start of the story WHEN they were 13 so the beggining of the stories art looks like that but recent chapters show great improvment from her 13 year old style lol and that is her art now on the cover so NO YOU WEREN’T DECIEVEDhttps://m.tapas.io/series/Let-Love-Rule
Giorno all the way!(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Hmm so this is weird bc my name Sarah amd I'm 25 and I hope I'm not the oldest here. I live in the United States trying work freelance as a designer working towards illustration (what I went to school for), and having to work a day job in retail. Honestly I love stories that are refreshing and that I don't encounter in real life. I love shounen ai,......
I really like how the translators/cleaners/+more are so involved in the comments. It's actually really nice to have an open relationship with the people responsible for making the comics you want to read, readable in your language. I just want everyone to take a moment and feel how great this is. And they do it based volunteered hard work on their own valuable time too Love you This is funny bc I get mistaken as a S all the time. Not because I act like it, because I seem to give off that look. I blame my resting b**ch face So the way I look at S and M is more of an issue of control rather than physical pain or torment. And if I were to choose to be the one in control, vs the one controlled, I would choose the feeling of......
Friend: man he's gay! Watch out!Main Character (MC): dude, not cool /:
Friend: and that's not all! I hear he is--
MC: hey! I'm not hearing another word about him (obv. crushing on dude)
*angrily walks away*
Friend:... a violent sadistic seme (⊙…⊙)
Am I the only one who wants to see our leading tortured unrequited main character hook up with senpai instead? Idk I just like how senpai is this supporting energy and how he is very receptive of other people and takes care to try to not hurt others (at least, not without reason, lol!) Idk, is it just me? They'll prob hook up the childhood friends bc that's what normally goes down in BL manga... But it would be refreshing to have a different turn of events...idk, Guess we'll find out in Vol 2?24, female, half Japanese, unemployee *please give me some work!!*, "What the f*ck with this yaoi manga" is what I think the first time I read yaoi manga. and honestly, I really really hate yaoi manga, especially doujinshi. I hate them. but...... last year, when I got nothing to do with my thesis, and felt so desperate, I accidentally watched koisu......
The things I LOVE about this series:1) Mito has a slow makeover, but she doesn't go through an unrealistic body and image change to look like typical shoujo heroine--she is a better version of herself, and to me that's more realistic
2) The guys don't all fall for her, and even the object of her affections (kunimitsu) can turn her down while still honoring their friendship (at least until they maybe decide to eventually bring him back as a love rival lol)
3) Typical b*tchy female rival character turns out to be another human, capable of human emotion and cheering on Mito
4) Mito is self conscious, and the story is not about her overcoming her weight or anything like that--it's about herself and coming out of her shell
5) The characters from her otome game show up in real life, but aren't the idols she was expecting--one is crazy shy, the other gay, and the last one acts out as a "demon" tsundere character--it shows that reality is more complex and different than your expectations
6) Again, I love how she looks like herself still after all the chapters, and how she likes the guys she likes for their kindness over looks, and how she even gave horse-face guy a real chance (even if he wasn't what she thought) and how she is generally becoming more honest with herself. It feels real, and their decisions and reactions feel real even in typical shoujo scenarios--and I think we can all relate to Mito's fantasies that almost overlap with reality, lol! (≧∀≦)
He has been in a coma state for 15 years, which is why bestie said "my best friend, even now" but everyone treats him like he's dead bc he hasn't woken up for 15 yrs. And why he remembers himself as a younger person, or how he can't remember for sure how he "died". It's either that, or he gets reincarnated into another or into someone who is about to die. Idk but I can't just see him disappearing--I smell a plot twist or something...
Extremely beautiful and fantastic style. Loose painterly and chromatic style really left a stunning impression!! My only critique would be that although it was stunning visually, the plot and narrative was almost too symbolic and cryptic to the point where it leaves the reader perpetually unable to grasp and the plot. But it definetely has a different way of telling a story. You have to look through the beautiful chaotic strokes to the perfectly rendered faces--which worked well to match the chaos of the story's theme of pollution, corruption, and overall apocalyptic-esq chaos. Great composition and webcomic-like paneling. Great use of color, angle, perspective, and light. That being said, the story would be more effective with a bit more grasp on creating clarity in the writing a little more so one doesn't get so lost in the analogies and understanding of the meaning of both the words, all while determining the content of the imagery. Overall a more visual piece I would say. I look forward to seeing the artist's other work (: Wonderfully promising (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ Delicious food for the eyes!EXTREME late bloomer here. I just turned 48 but I started reading about 5, 6 years ago. I always read manga and watched Japanese anime since I was little (spent my very early years in Japan, my mom is Japanese). I was browsing a local Kinokuniya bookstore and saw some yaoi manga, thought WTF, how did I ever miss this? Went home and looked it up. Do......
