Shoujo 4 lyfe

I wanted to get back into this comic ever since Smoking Crow's pic dump. No idea why I stopped reading in the first place, but I'm guessing translator issues.

The last time an English chapter was released was like two years ago, so maybe it's best you're not in a hurry.

Nocturne hard mode status update: nothing quite like getting ambushed at the doorstep of a save point only to have every single enemy focus all their attacks on your main guy and kill him.

I am okay with that opinion, and your friend is a fine-rear end person for formulating it on his/her own. :)

But now, in my search for greatness, I must inquire: Goons, what are your favorite :black101: moments in manga and anime?

Seems about right. And hard mode is a pain. Get ready to visit a dentist if you're short on patience.

merry is cute but i'm waiting for some of the other guys that presumably get their own episodes. even so it's still a weird short, when i'd probably enjoy some generic bl show with the same characters more. :shrug:

e: like the fake interaction with the viewer isn't good. i have lots of thoughts on the lonely female otaku show.

Basically people getting really weird and fetishistic about pretty common sounds or voices.

I do wish they'd put out some new BL shows instead of weird pillow boys and more Junjou Romantica.

I liked Love Stage but it was pretty rapey. I've never liked Junjou Romantica but the spinoff wasn't quite as bad (remembering from the manga, still haven't watched much of the show). Edit: wait I think that one had a really REALLY rapey couple that the scan group refused to translate their chapters haha. SO it only seemed like it wasn't as bad because I didn't read those chapters.

It's been awhile since I read the manga, but doesn't Love Stage only have a little rape towards the beginning? And then the guy gets into it and becomes an actual willing partner? I definitely remember him researching how to be a better bottom, and trying to get his boyfriend back after he gets amnesia.




I know that still sounds bad, but compared to most BL stuff, where it seems like every homosexual encounter is non-consensual, that's pretty progressive.

I haven't read the manga but the anime apparently toned some stuff way down and there were other scenes where Izumi gets assaulted but I don't remember what all they were, it's been a while since I looked at anything about it. Non-rapey BL exists, really don't understand why the same old lovely tropes keep getting trotted out (I do actually; lots of people who read/watch it are also lovely people and like it).

The ratio of pale white dudes in this cinema is considerably higher for Akira than it was for Totoro, Nausicaa, Kiki and Howl

Also Nausicaa was loving incredible
