top 5 BL works??
i guess we know each other for you to know this, but thank you hun!
i know BL is cancelled on tumblr but idgaf and i'm going to list my top 10 BL works and i will talk a bit about each of them. i read them all when i was a lot younger though, i don't read BL manga anymore.
everything under the cut, because it's long:
1; sora wo daite oyasumi by kyuugou
one of the most deep, realistic and fucked up "BL" work i've read. really fucked up. it depict mental illness and taboo themes so realistically it just blews my mind even now, after years.
2; saezuru tori wa habatakanai by yoneda kou
it has an anime, never watched it and never will. i've been reading saezuru for years. it has so, so many trigger warnings though, but it depicts everything so realistically just like sora wo daite oyasumi does. yashiro (the main character) is so complex you wouldn't understand unless you give it a chance.
3; acid town by kyuugou
it's about gangs, it's dark, longer than usual and again, has many trigger warning, like everything i read. one of the best BL manga out there.
4; hidamari ga kikoeru by fumino yuki
at last! something sweet and without triggers! it's about a boy with hearing issues and a boy who suddenly enters his life, their relationship is really healthy and approved by everyone, honestly, it's just so heart warming and not fetishizing or dark at all.
5; barairo no hoho no oro by nakamura asumiko
sad teenagers, sad love, sad story. as far as i remember, it doesn't have sexual content, just a pianful, painful love story. that's all i'm going to say about it, the drawing is very unique but still so beautiful.
6; doushitemo furetakunai by yoneda kou
painful, because life is hard, but very romantic and very well done, as expected by yoneda kou.
7; hana no miyako de by takarai rihito
one of the most heartbreaking manga i've ever read, it still hurts just to think about it. it's about true love and the art of letting go.
8; copernicus no kokyuu by nakamura asumiko
the MOST fucked up manga in this list, even more than sora wo daite oyasumi, please don't read it, but i enjoyed it so much. it's very, very dark, with TONS of trigger warnings. but it's fiction so i don't give a single fuck, it's really well done.
9; yozora no sumikko de, by hayakawa nojiko
at lat! some healthy and sweet BL manga again! it's so romantic and cute, i recommend it to anyone who's interested in a sweet story between adults.
10; endou-kun no kansatsu nikki by hayakawa nojiko
the old school love story, it's so cute and sweet, i highly recommend it!
put “top 5” anything in my ask and i will answer

2024 mid-year drama review
just a little look at what i enjoyed and didn't enjoy so much from my corner of the dramasphere 🤭 this post covers everything i've watched from january to now. i wonder how this will change when i do my end of the year post. (these are just my opinions 🫰🏻)
🍑 currently watching 🍑
at 25:00 in akasaka (japan): i find myself struggling to get through this. the pacing, the script, and some of the acting just drags this series down so much.
love sea (thailand): just barely started airing so i won't be too critical but i find peat as tongrak to be flat in ways that i hope pick up as the series goes on.
my love mix up (thailand): another one that just started. not entirely sold on fourth as atom buuut i do love the distinct thai flavor added into this. i think that's what's getting lost in all the dog-piling and negativity is what an adaptation is and should be. (that and people just can't have fun.)
my stand in (thailand): incredible amazing enjoying every moment of this (minus the sol haters).
omg vampire (thailand): silly silly little vampire show that doesn't take itself very seriously with frank and long being bonkers lol
only boo (thailand): initially, i really enjoyed this show but then it started going in circles around itself and just is meh, watchable but meh, to me now.
wandee goodday (thailand): i am absolutely enjoying every second of the journey yakdee and yeicher are taking us on.
we are (thailand): my precious slice of life found family drama that will always be famous to me.
🩷 favorites of 2024 🩷
pit babe (thailand) 10/10: my first foray into omegaverse, something i never thought i'd engage with lol but the way pit babe handled everything *chef's kiss* i frequently find myself rewatching certain eps lol plus pavel the man that you are.
ossan's love returns (japan) 10/10: as a big fan of the series i was so excited by the announcement of this proper epilogue for maki and haruta and was not disappointed. i cried (a lot) and laughed so much. /this was everything kinou tried and failed to be.
love for love's sake (korea) 10/10: i read the webtoon and didn't have high hopes for the live action but i am so glad i was wrong???? how incredibly good was this drama??
unknown (taiwan) 10/10: not the biggest fan of this trope buuuuut i was blown away by how good it ended up being? (was it perfect? no. but i enjoyed it.)
✨ stand out dramas ✨
deep night (thailand) 8.5/10: i had zero expectations for this but ended up loving khemwela an absolutely healthy amount plus we got milf yuri 😌
cherry magic (thailand) 8/10: i'll let y'all in on a secret lol i gave the original a 3/10 and it had everything to do with the actors (ifykyk) and the absolutely bland way they handled the story. but the thai adaptation really added a certain charm to it that i enjoyed.
the sign (thailand) 7.5/10: incredibly unique from the bl world and definitely out of the box. had it's issues but absolutely cool otherwise!
two worlds (thailand) 7.5/10: suffered from pacing issues but overall enjoyed this!
⚰️ most disappointing ⚰️
playboyy (thailand) 5.5/10: messy in ways that i didn't enjoy for the most part (and mid-way i really only watched it for promnont).
middle man's love (thailand) 5/10: jade was rough to deal with 🫠
1000 years old (thailand) 4.5/10: not entirely sure what i expected but...
🫧 looking forward to 🫧
THE TIME OF FEVER (south korea) ; century of love (thailand) ; singsala death (thailand) ; khemjira (thailand) ; thamepo (thailand) ; eternal faith (china) ; heesu in class 2 (south korea) ; pit babe s2 (thailand) ; your dear daddy (thailand) ; the boy next world (thailand)
🙏🏻 dream adaptations 🙏🏻
endou-kun no kansatsu nikki (japan) ; qi ye (china) ; aitsu no daihonmei (japan) ; the summer hikaru died (japan)

E — ENDOU-KUN NO KANSATSU NIKKI
One BL goal I hope I'll live to see is an Eng-licensed Hayakawa Nojiko work, and I don't care which one. Endou-kun no Kansatsu Nikki was my first meeting with the artist, and it was love at first sight. From my A to Z BL Challenge!
There was a time where my memory was more fresh; where I could remember a voice actor’s or a manga artist’s name in a heartbeat. Now, I can remember only the major ones, my ‘major’ here being the series that I go back to re-read regularly. It gets worse with voice actors. I can’t really pick a favorite either but Hayakawa Nojiko’s name appears in a heartbeat when I’m asked who my favorite BL…
