#based off series by a BL writer even though this series / manga isn't BL

[not-poignant]

Love to see your fav characters' list...Do you know that the mangaka of Shouwa Genroku also wrote a few BL manga series? One of them is my all time BL fav, called : My Darling Kitten Hair (Itoshi no Nekokke)....Sorry if you already know and don't like the manga.

Hi anon,

I feel kind of bad writing this but like dsalkfjdsa yeah I did know that because I kind of literally said it in the paragraph where I say he's one of my favourite characters:

Yuurakutei Yakumo (Kikuhiku) from Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - I just… *flails* Almost no one has seen this anime series and it kind of kills me because firstly the books were written by someone practiced in writing BL and even though this isn’t BL you can still tell the vibes are there. Secondly, one of the most ace-coded characters ever. Gender-fuckery abounds, which is fun. Thirdly just, honestly, more folks should watch this?

I'm just going to assume you were super excited because you saw the anime / character ref and didn't read the rest of the paragraph which is something I think we've all done once or twice (or a lot!)

I mostly like Rakugo/Descending Stories because of the historical research that went into it, and because the Yakumo + Sukeroku vibes remind me of two of my own characters, Augus + Ash. So I don't need it to be BL! I know I've read Itoshi no Nekkoke but I don't remember it skadfjasd (which is normal for me! I forget so much of what I read which makes re-reading a lot of fun :D )
