But it is okay as long as it's one of Asumiko Nakamura's toxic relationships 👍

Bold choice to put "from the author of Classmates" on the cover as a selling point when I'd wager a hefty chunk of that series' audience is not down for obsessive bullying and sex scenes with bloody noses, but I enjoyed it!

Girl, you have GOT to get your spare key back from your ex and lose his number before you get sucked back into orbiting the worst relationship ever once again

Hibana also has some excellent eyes going on, just so much unnerving staring. Bit like Utsubora in spots

Asumiko Nakamura puts more undressed women in her bl than I ever truly thought was possible, bless her

I wish I didn’t have to wait until April for more of Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki’s Conjecture 🥲. I’m really in the mood for that series now and even the April release is just side stories

A panel from Konkichi's A Man Who Defies the World of BL vol 3 showing two guys facing away from each other and a fair distance apart, looking pretty much like two random strangers passing each other on the sidewalk, with the words "in the same panel together? Guaranteed couple!" around them

This is often how I find characters to ship

I watched the episode again just to really maximize my pain and ooof next week is gonna hurt too. This show is so good, love to spend my entire Sunday swooning over each episode

Sir, I ordered an easily digestable story about unimpecheable good guys & clear-cut villains and received complex humanity instead. What's up with that

Everything with Minori is just... that hurts. I don't care for her as a person but it still hurts to watch

Ikoku Nikki/Journal with Witch has done me in this week. That episode was so powerful that I feel like I didn't - couldn't - take everything in on a single viewing

Give somebody Basara again, that would be fun

Bet that Tokyo Babylon anime really will come to fruition with a new production committee after all

Huh, Red River anime got announced. What other 90s shoujo manga is lying around waiting for an adaptation, since apparently that's what they're inexplicably doing right now?

I got such a nice Witch Hat Atelier fic for the Candy Hearts exchange, go read it!

This week was chef's kiss once again from a voice perspective but also Wolfwood is so doomed and at some point I'm gonna cry my eyes out, I can feel it in my bones

Once upon a time, I'm sure everyone involved with the licensing went "it probably won't be that long!" re: Sekaiichi and here we are 18 volumes later 😆

At this point, I feel like they can't be new fans, bc I never hear newbies talking about JR or Super Lovers, so have they just been holding out hope for so long, they've forgotten how old those series are?

🥰🥰🥰 more Given in November 🥰🥰🥰

Well, the two licenses they've announced look reasonably interesting and don't appear to be omegaverse, so I reckon I'll give them a try. License number 3 is surely more Given, they wouldn't hold off on that with the sales that series has pulled in

Having read several volumes of both it and Sekaiichi, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t even really need to learn Japanese bc you could just read the series that is being published in English and get the exact same experience

Same, really. Questions of content aside, it’s just so old, why is anyone holding out hope that Sublime is gonna suddenly license it?

(There is someone in the comments of that very post going “how is JR too long if you’re doing Sekaiichi Hatsukoi?”, that’s how much it won’t stop anyone)

This will stop NO ONE 😆

Over a decade of “we are not licensing Junjou Romantica for these insurmountable issues” and still they persist, it’s why that’s the center square of my still-hypothetical manga licensing comments bingo card

It’s not really Valentine’s Day until I see someone going “license Junjou Romantica” on a Sublime social media post

Oh, almost forgot that I was planning on buying some books from Sublime while their Valentine’s sale is on. New volume of Yarichin Bitch Club, here I come!

nitro+chiral valentines i made well over a decade ago

kiss
