I thought the manga was pretty much on the BL side. :thinking: Like, early on our hero (spoilers) accidently gets himself a husband and everyone’s totally for it. The books after that that I read had (spoilers) him bonding with the other guys (husband’s brothers) and stuff.

It was pretty light as BL goes ((spoilers) no kissing, at least early on), but I as a young person never doubted the BL-ness, for what it’s worth. No clue how the manga was marketed, and no clue if it gets more pronounced later on/in the novels.

Edit: Well I voted. I think there was a mistake though @bibliothecary, I needed like twice the number of votes. :thinking:

Also, Flesh&Blood isn’t in the lead. This is a travesty. D:

I’ve been telling myself we’ll read them all eventually, the vote is to decide in which order we read them… Still super difficult to choose, though.

Surprised that KKM has taken an early lead, guess this means I’ll have to buy lots of Yuuri x Wolfram djs… for research. :smirk:

… you can? Because, I’m going to be honest, I have no clue. The only thing that I can think of is going to a shop and buy them in person, and I am not doing that.
Even for the BL section at Book off, I usually just pretend I am passing through and just quickly grab something.
(Last time, there was a woman in her late 40s~early 50s just 立ち読みing there, I was genuinely impressed)

… That was just a link back to the poll. I am disappointed.

Ah. Well. Glad not much happens then. I hope the age differential with the other characters isn’t too crazy.

That’s the wrong poll link, right?

Online. :ok_hand: Suruga-ya, Mandarake, etc. Granted, it’s tough to tell what the doujin is actually about, since there’s not any sort of summary. But hey.

It was, yes. I don’t know what is going on with Discourse on mobile, but when I lower the edit window to copy something, the thread just jumps up in a random way. In that case, I got a poll right in front of me and didn’t realize how far back I had gone.

That’s where I would have gone in real life. I didn’t think to check if they had an online store…

To be frank it’s completely bl vibes with no actual bl so I get why it would be marked bl but not be considered one
