I am once again asking yall to understand that unofficial site tags =/= official tags. This series never had a BL tag on any official sites and Young Ace Up(magazine this is serialised in) always had only seinen in it. The only reason the official translation doesn't have a BL tag is because this was never a BL, it's a horror story with lgbt+ characters, that's it. The lack of a BL tag doesn't magically delete any gay romance or lgbt+ identities in the manga, all it means is the gay romance is not the crucial part of the plot because mangas rarely get the BL tag unless the romance is the focus(ex. "Kinou Nani Tabeta?" doesn't have a BL tag anywhere even though gayness and the gay relationship between the leads is a huge part of the manga). I haven't seen the author deny the queerness of the story on their twitter, just them saying they dont want this manga to be seen as a typical BL manga, so I'm confused af about peoples reactions and I think they're just too fujoshi brained to appreciate an actual queer story.
