Zandar posted:Houseki no Kuni's also on BOOK☆WALKER, which has a reader app for PCs, offline reading in Android/Apple apps, and in-browser reading. No downloadable version as far as I'm aware, though. Seems a little cheaper than other stores when sales aren't on, but the price actually depends on exchange rate so it might vary. I like BookWalker too, and they usually have coupons for new accounts. You can also use the same account to buy books (in Japanese) from their Japanese website.

l0lwhat posted:Alright, I know this is the best place to ask, can someone recommend me 2-3 BL manga without drama? The sweeter and uncomplicated the better. Natsume Isaku's stuff is mostly straightforward, but they're not super sweet. Merry Checker by Suzuki Tsuta is about internet friends who meet up IRL. Slow Starter by Ichikawa Kei (author of thread-favored Blue Sky Complex) is about two high schoolers who ride the same train to school. Happy End o Shinjiteru by Fujimine Shiki is a new one about a small town boy who hopes to find a boyfriend in Tokyo. His only experience with love is the BL he found in his best friend's stash. Edit: None of them are super sweet, but all low drama as far as I remember.

The nail polish boys BL ended: http://fujoshibitches.shounen-ai.net/reader/series/kiyona_yubisaki_bukiyona_tsumasaki It's very laid back. This looks good but I think I'm gonna get it in Japanese rather than purchase from June, unless they've been doing better lately? When they jumped to a new website, I never bothered following since I wasn't into any of their upcoming releases (that I knew about) and they were sooo slloooow with Does the Flower Blossom? and some other stuff.

Everything Burrito posted:the nail polish boys were good, it was chill and nice although not very exciting lol Is it just That Blue Sky Feeling or was there something else? That was published in a shonen magazine in Japan which seems to make a difference for whatever reason even for English publishers. Either way, it's cool that more publishers are giving BL a shot, although I already saw a few of those new Kodansha releases on reader sites and was like "welp, they tried." Semi-related, the second/final omnibus of My Brother's Husband comes out next week. Also, lol, the June banner for The Love That Binds says it releases 9/14/2018 at noon PST and I get a 404 when I click the link. You're not helping me think you're doing a better job, Digital Manga!

Everything Burrito posted:If anyone is looking for some BL to read, try something on this list Umm I didn't know Amish BL existed but I'm totally gonna buy that Rumspringa one. I got pretty into Unohana earlier this year, some of her stuff is licensed on Renta (which, as a website, sort of baffles me). Also I didn't know 10 Dance was licensed, nice.

For a slow burn BL, I like Hana wa Saku ka/Does the Flower Blossom? by Hidaka Shoko. There's a pretty decent age gap, but they're both adults.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxjXEIDbBxA Noitamina's first BL anime is an adaptation of Given by Natsuki Kizu. I haven't read it yet because it's ongoing, but I really liked Links. Is an actual semi-serious, plot-having BL manga getting a series? Also volume 1 of Natsume Isaku's Candy Color Paradox came out this week. She visited my town once and said (on Twitter) it was the sticks, but we have pretty sunsets. Kusaru fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Mar 15, 2019 |

Yeah, it's general 1980s. At one point there's a Reagan inauguration headline (from the 1981 New York Times), later on there are some CDs from later in the 80s. The bartender recalls some big 60s/70s historic moments. In addition to the romance, it's part American pop culture, part history, part Amish 101. I liked it.

HIJK posted:Hello thread, You might like stuff by Ueda Aki if you want fairly laid back. Also try some of Yamashita Tomoko’s BL. It’s pretty old now, but I’ve always liked Dear Green by Fujiyama Hyouta and its prequel/sequel.

Everything Burrito posted:FYI anyone reading What Did You Eat Yesterday should look up the doujins the author put out, they're very good and give you another facet of their relationship that doesn't really make it into the books it's the sex part I didn't know these existed, thanks for mentioning them!

^^^ For a good 4 seconds I thought I was posting in the wrong thread. Alder posted:Looking at the kindle bookstore, I had hoped they had a decent variety of josei or BL but it's just sad. I mean, they have all kinds of books but searching for decent manga that's not mainstream is a shot in the dark. It's not the primary focus there, but Book Walker (global.bookwalker.jp) has some good niche titles in both BL and josei, and they have pretty decent join-up deals every month it seems like.

Yamashita Tomoko has a knack of coming up with lines that really resonate with me. I always like her humor, too. For anyone who likes her stuff and wants to give her money, her ongoing innuendo-filled light-BL horror/mystery manga is available digitally from Sublime: https://www.sublimemanga.com/reader/686.

Re-read the whole thing thus far. I think my favorite haunting is the creepy smile ghost that jumps bodies and favorite line (among many, I love Yamashita Tomoko's dialog) is when Hanzawa tells a one-off character to avoid thinking they're an inherently good person. The guys all rallying around Erika at the end of this volume sort of gave me Mo'Some Sting vibes. Volume 7 has been out in Japan since April, let's hope it's less than a year until it gets translated!

Everything Burrito posted:People dig it for a variety of reasons especially in paranormal romance so I'm constantly having to dodge it when I'm looking for trashy romance novels and it was deeply disappointing when I started having to do the same thing for non-doujinshi bl manga For me, one of the main appeals of BL is the lack of defined gender roles, so the popularity of this has been so weird to me.

I spent so much time in high school listening to the Fushigi Yuugi soundtrack, well before I ever saw the anime (which admittedly was a letdown after probably 2-3 years of expectation).
