You're telling me these men are gay?

I'm in.

It's a weird mix of a seinen with BL elements, and a somewhat bizarre approach to narration and showing the sequence of events. The main duo have issues and sometimes have no idea how to explain their relationship to other people, but they know they're at their most comfortable with each other

So yeah, p. gay, I like the story

At least these chapters are advancing their relationship rather than being unrelated comedy!

I picked up the 2nd and 3rd volumes of Honey So Sweet and re-read the first since I hadn't read the actual printed version. Have now read vol. 1 about 4 times since I re-read the scans a bunch, still adorable and Onise is too good and pure for this world :3:

The Yurihime readership is around 70% women

Huh, that's interesting. I didn't know that yuri stuff was actually largely consumed by women.

One other thing to clarify my earlier post a bit - I actually don't mind, in and of itself, the fact that BL stuff caters to the fantasies of straight women. I just think the genre in general is very similar in intent to stuff like shounen harem romcoms. It has a clear purpose, and even if it's not something I'm interested in personally, I have no problem with people enjoying this stuff (as long as it doesn't include creepy stuff like underage characters).

While I don't think it was targeted at an LGBT audience, Bokura no Hentai is an example of something I found interesting to read, because it dealt with a bunch of issues aside from just romance/sexual tension (in particular the existence of an actual trans character, which is super rare in manga). I even enjoyed the romance parts, largely because they were devoid of a lot of the (often problematic) tropes you tend to see in shoujo and BL manga.

I don't know if it necessarily is actually the majority (although as noted, Comic Yurihime definitely caters mostly to women and it's one of the big yuri magazines as well as the oldest active one IIRC), but yeah, it's definitely significant.
Yuri is a way weirder genre than BL is in terms of its history and audience, and it is largely categorized on online marketplaces/stores and widely perceived (even in Japan) as being made for guys or at least general audiences, but it's a lot more complicated than it seems on the surface and lesbians have definitely been writing and reading it from the beginning.

I've read so much short format stuff now I have a hard time sticking with longer manga sometimes. It sucks to read a really good one-shot and know there's nothing else to it though. I do like running across something that's 2 or 3 volumes or at least has sequels or spinoffs though, it's nice when they have that extra time to develop the characters more.

Yes, I end up clicking on more by the same author link and then walk away once I realize it's only a few incomplete chapters. It's even sadder when I realize this is the only one-shot scanlated under MU :eng99:

these are incredibly lewd chapters

fyi Harada fans, Henai Fumouhen is translated (it's the role-playing couple again :3: )

I hope she keeps writing about those two, when they drop the act they're so funny and cute together.

standard time skip to wedding stuff. You probably already know exactly what happens. IMO pretty weak, I'd have preferred to see more of them dating.
