>>6450There was some interesting bl manga I waned to read a while ago. It was brother brother incest with a psychological thriller vibe and came out recently. But sadly the scanlators didn’t bother continuing it because it didn’t seem popular I guess. I was very invested in trying to get a copy of the original manga but they are a little out of my price range with shipping issues. I suspect there’s a lot of underground Japanese bl coming out that aren’t being pushed over here in the west because they are more taboo.

The french release of Lala no Kekkon is a joke, there has been so many issues with the publishing company that now that I finally read the third volume today, I released it's been years since I bought and read the second volume and I was confused as to who the fuck was that girl who wanted to marry to seme. I need to read all these volumes again just to have more context, and I know the forth volume will be released in like 10 years if this keeps up.

No spoilers please, but how is Fangs? I'm considering reading it and there are three translated volumes officially available in my country right now. The art looks great from what I've seen but I'm worried it will be too edgy in a way that's hard to take seriously.
No.6481
>>6479It’s not really any edgier than what you expect from a vampire series. The main couple has a good dynamic and the art is gorgeous.

Are there any decent recent releases at all? I feel like we're in a BL drought.

>>6579Seconding At The End of Death. There's also the omegaverse Meppou Yatara to Yowaki ni Kiss, where the uke is a nurse working in a hospital setting. A little more cliche classic yaoi, but I found it charming at times.

To my knowledge, Hotarubi Enya (the English translation) isn't ripped, but if anybody is up to sharing it with others, here are the raws:

https://pastebin.com/eRQRP3W5The raws are uncensored and of higher resolution (and include extra chapters), unlike the version on MangaPlaza.

>>6443Oh god how did I not see this earlier, Ogawa is one of my all time favorites I can't even count how many times I wanked a good one out over caste heaven… I wish I could understand what this "atmosphere" they're speaking of is and why it's seemingly so difficult to push out of if bl has been able to due so for some many decades prior?
>>6446>I think it’s mainly BL’s growing popularity with general audiences that make authors feel like every title should appeal to a general audience but that shouldn’t be the case. there will always be audiences for “problematic” BL I'd like to believe this is the case
>>6453>they’d say it was only horror, as if horror and BL can’t exist togetherThis has always been unreasonably irritating to me. It doesn't matter how on its face false it is, you just can't convince people otherwise once they start thinking it

>>7420Oh fuck, she did Boku ha Onnanoko?? I liked her art style but some how never felt pulled to read any of her other works despite scrolling past or skimming them even pretty recently wtf? I didn't realize this connection at all until now. I found it, not while scrolling through her works, but actually while on the hunt for incest yuri lmao. As for Aldnoah Zero, I've never heard if it before

>>7420>A/ZHow nostalgic ♡
An internet friend and I used to have SureIna/InaSure as "Our" ship, the show's quality issues and story fuckery aside kek
>>7422NTAYRT but yes, she wrote that one and also Hourou Musuko, which deals with similar themes. I guess she finds them interesting..
As for A/Z, I remember a lot of people hating it but I thought it was fine… I'm definitely in the minority tho
just like I may be the only one who likes Slaine as Inaho's seme kek No.7424
>>7423SHE wrote Wandering son?? That's even more obvious and famous, I wonder how my eyes missed that skimming through her works, but I guess the cover just isn't as striking. How funny I got into her via one of her lesser known works

>>7432WHAT???? SO SOON??? Wait I might actually read the manga soon then but it's kind of a shame. Not that I would want the author to create unnatural angst & drama just to prolong the story, but it was literally some of the best well-written BL-ish (idc what she said I consider it BL) animanga we've had in a while. I hope they at least kiss even if "Hikaru" is asexual or whatever she said.

>The $2 million big bet in 2025 that "killed, crushed" Tokyopop in 2025, according to its owner>If there's a smoking gun to Tokyopop's losses in 2025, it would be its venture into events by obtaining the license to be the exclusive Naruto exhibition promoter and producer in Europe, despite not having the rights for the manga or anime.>"In our case specifically, we did great in 2024. Then in 2025, we took a good amount of that capital, and we placed a big bet; we took a big swing at the experience business, which we wanted to be in," Tokyopop founder/majority owner Stu Levy tells Milton Griepp of ICv2.Imagine being this retarded. Is that company run by nepo babies who never graduated uni?

>>7546When I read One Room Angel I thought the actual BL was the worst part of it, if the leads never started dating but the fujobait remained it would've given me much more shipping fuel
Then again, if it wasn't BL I probably wouldn't've read it! Sorry Harada-sensei

No.7563
>>7543Nope, it's all Stu Levy again. The current Tokyopop reintroduced itself as an all female team specializing in shoujo and BL licensed by the expertise of real readers, and Mr Levy promised, having killed the company once before for his vanity projects, to be the boss in name only and stay away from making any decisions. It was a promise given to the readers in covid lockdown streams and it's now proven to be worth nothing in practice. Hiring only women probably made it easier for him to boss them around when he finally decided not to stay seated in the back.
It's crazy because they were doing well even with their lack of promo and constant printing troubles. The women's titles they licensed really did sell and have loyal followers. Levy just hates when he's not in the spotlight calling the shots. Their bread and butter wasn't glamorous or loud enough for him.
I'm just hoping that another publisher rescues some of their titles so we'll have more chance of source LNs and consistent print runs. Always hate when a three part series gets licensed and the middle one is out of print all the time.

>>7563why do these types of men even bother with the shojosei/bl market? if you don't like the content AND it's not making you as much money as you want why are you even here???
No.7565
>>7564i imagine there’s less competition for women-targeted manga so it is actually making them good money. bigger publishers already have control over the popular shounens so it’s easier to simply appeal to a niche. it’s sad that no matter how much women support a series or company, the male executives just see them as stepping stools to reach a male audience. not all of course but most.
