Aiming for the Moon, Becoming the Star

[allthefujoshiunite]

Hi, I'm the anon that asked your twitter BL challenge...thanks so much for the link....🤩

Can I ask for BL recs if my favorite BLs (until now) are : "Complex" by Ringo Manda, "Kieta Hatsukoi" by Wataru Hinekure, "Therapy Game" by Meguru Hinohara, "Here U Are" by Djun, "Blanc" by Asumiko Nakamura and "Harukaze no Etranger" by Kanna Kil?

Sorry if it seems weird, I try to pick a certain topic but I became confused myself as what should I pick (enemies to lovers, childhood friend, etc)......Also I'm sorry if my fav are not so diverse yet....And thanks again for your BL reviews, it helps me a lot for a newcomer like me....

Welcome back ~ It warms my heart to hear that my reviews are of help ^^ I haven't read some of the series you mentioned, but from the ones I did you seem to enjoy softer BL's that are plot and/or character-driven. I'll add links to my reviews if I have written on them, and apologize beforehand that I rarely buy singular volumes of BL so most of the titles will be from Futekiya (a monthly subscription service that releases BL only, the first chapters of the series in their library are free to read). Let's go!

Here and There and Us (Thanat) and Blue Sky Complex (Ichikawa Kei): Opposites-attract, high school friends who continue to date after graduation, long distance relationship for a while. I haven't read Blanc, have only seen Doukyusei but trope-wise, they sound similar! Both are exceptional works so I think they might be a good fit for you as well.

The Trees in Spring (Nakaoka Naka) and Setagaya Synchronicity (Hongo Chika): Both focus on soul/identity searching, coming to terms with the self. I've written on The Trees in Spring before but can vouch for both.

Some more favorites:

Twilight Out of Focus (Jyanome): To read // Review

All That Pierces the Heart (Sumako Kari): To read

Paint Love and the Colors Will Bloom (Shota Kon): To read

Living With Him (Toworu Miyata): To read

I'll Make You Cry (Nozomu Hiiragi): To read // Very brief review

Lullaby of the Dawn (Ichika Yuno): To read (also on Futekiya)

I linked Bookwalker pages but ShuCream and Kodansha have many other platform options so you can go to the publisher's webpage to find a website/means to buy that fits you. Futekiya titles are only in their library, although recently Seven Seas recently announced that they are going to re-release some of Suzumaru Minta's works both in print and in digital since Futekiya is digital-only. If you have any other questions, you can message me any time and let me know what you thought of them if you get to read any of them! Have a nice day.

“Kusamura.

The town that hasn’t aged in 50 years. Where farmers fields outnumber each actual citizen 3-1. Big enough for just one elementary school, and a highschool with a dwindling registration every year. The towns population practically doubles when the train makes its way through. But for just a moment I look at all the people in their business suits looking out the windows at Kusamura and wonder if they think about escaping to this side.

I would trade them in a second.

I would take their place on that train in a heartbeat..

And just..."

"Disappear...”

“Watanabe, Fumino

Born: 12/16/1996

Sex: Female

Parents:  Watanabe Suzuki [Father] Watanabe Yoko [Mother]

Grade: 秀 •Shū

Average Scoring: 92

Grade History….Academic Placement….Ah. here we go…’Disciplinary notes’…”

“Fumino possesses sturdy foundation as a good academic student, though she lacks the fundamental social skills to get along with other students.”

Lacks fundamental social skills.-

‘Hoh hoh hoh….is that how you worded it…’

Fumino sighed, blowing air up at her bangs to push them from her face. Pushing her oversized glasses up her nose to peek over her shoulder for anyone watching her. The faculty room was calm and quiet this time of day. The rural school only had a handful of teachers anyways so they were almost always tied up in other business. The only sounds being that of the distant echoes of the track team outside, and the gentle rhythm of a large school clock in the corner.

‘Idiots’ she thought, trusting someone like her to remain there without supervision. It was their own fault.

“She lacks..the fundamental social skills…”

She mused, leaning against the open drawer of the cabinet, rocking it dangerously back and forth without a care.

‘I suppose I lack... the fundamental social skills of being a complete doormat…’She thought.

Her social skills were the least of the reasons for her repeated presence in the faculty room. It definitly not being that she wasn’t allowed to eat with the other students. After an incident involving a girl who had called her a name-what it was she couldn’t even recall now, only fondly remembering how good it felt to pull the front of the girls uniform collar out and dump her entire lunch into it. Shoving her off the back of her chair onto her back, giving everything saucy a chance to soak into her clothes.

That wasn’t the only incident by far she had been involved in, but the teachers determined it to be her last. After that, she was confined to eat lunch in the teachers lounge for the rest of the semester. Eventually, she started helping out with the handouts and filings out of boredom, and the overworked staff quickly found her to be a blessing in disguise. Paperwork, it turned out, was easier than putting up with the other kids and their trash. She was sick of fighting.

There was more dignity in disappearing than simply giving in.

At the sound of footsteps, like routine, she slipped her student record back into her file and opened the drawer below it, containing the master copies for the handouts she was re-ordering. As she pretended to innocently look for something, the door flung open, and a teacher stormed in, towing a tall brown-haired boy behind him.

“How many times must we have this meeting? Hmm!?”

The boy didn’t answer, though, it didn’t look for lack of trying. It seemed as though he just couldn’t get the words out.

“I’ve received another complaint. That’s three from parents of the other students alone about the changing room situation, when will you drop this nonsense?” The boy was quiet this time, only this time it didn’t seem like he was trying to get anything out.

It was over, she could tell by the way his shoulders slumped. He’s toast.

“I’m going to have to call your parents in again. Remain after class today an-ah- hang on a moment-” The teacher spun on one heel and rushed out of the room, catching another teacher passing by  in the hallway.

Fumino's attention was drawn back to the boy, watching with mild interest for a moment, wondered what such a meek looking boy did to get complaints from other students parents. They shared a class together, but could never fully bring herself to commit thier name to memory. A wicked idea striking her, and slowly opening the top drawer once more. Her mind was often too clever for her own good she thought, as she shuffled through pictures of all the students in their year, keeping a mindful ear out for the sound of approaching footsteps. She thought she remembered his name.

Naka- something..?

‘Nakagawa, Nakano..Nakaoka...Ah. Nakamura.'

She discreetly opened the file, oddly thick, even in comparison to her troubled track record, full of envelopes and letters, and several page-long documents, his school picture paper clipped to the file.

‘Nakamura, Asuka

Born: 06/12/1996

Sex: Female

Parent-’

Female?

With her peripheries she skated the room and back to the form hunched in a the plastic chair far too small for thier height, pulling the whole cabinet with her as she leaned back on her heels to snoop. Wondering if the teacher who’d typed the file perhaps just made a really embarrassing error.

They were tall and broad-shouldered, with a somewhat thin frame. A strong jawline, high cheekbones and shortly cropped hair framing a rather delicate looking face. Thinking to herself that they really couldn’t tell one way or another, realizing after a few moments of careful gawking why.

The uniform.

When they were dragged in, they’d been wearing the boys uniform, pants and all.

The situation suddenly becoming very clear.

‘Ah….I get it now.’

A few moments later the door slid open once more and the teacher leaned in. Sweet little angel Fumino innocently resuming rummaging through the master copy drawer as the teacher turned thier attention too, to the form hunched in the chair.

“I only have 15 minutes left to eat before next period, Watanabe-san, would you please get Nakamura-san  a copy of the incident form please? Nakamura-san you can go to class after you’ve finished filing. Leave it on my desk and come straight here after class. Until this is solved, change in the bathrooms.”

With a sharp clack, the door shut, leaving silence to claim the room again.

‘-Ah-the form…’

Fumino rummaged around the drawers with rare good intent, before retrieving the incident form. Turning to face Asuka full on.

Boy or girl, they were handsome. Already showing hints of a tan even though the warm season had only just started, and when the sun hit it, thier brown head of hair turning that of fresh rust.

They just sat there, defeated and small. They didn’t even try to fight back.

It was…

Pitiful.

The worst of the three options.

Fight, disappear, or take it. There is only dignity in two of them.

The easiest of the three is to just disappear.

The weight of Nakamura’s folder was still on her mind. And if thier actions just now were any indication, the weight of somebody’s dignity.

It didn’t feel good.

‘If you don’t like it, just disappear like I did.

It’s easier to disappear.

It’s easier than lying to yourself  and saying that you accept it.

Disappear.

Disappear.’

“Disappear.”

Asuka turned her head, Fumino was already holding the sheet out to them, the two meeting eyes for the first time.

“Um...Pardon?”

‘Ah- I did it again…’

She hadn’t purposefully said anything, but wasn’t entirely surprised that she had either. It hadn’t been the first time something came out of her mouth without her permission. It being the spark of most, if not all the incidents in her own extensive folder alone. But this time she really hadn’t meant for it to happen to someone who didn’t attack her in some way first. Maybe she'd be lucky and they didn't hear her right, but she wouldn't allow herself to find out. There really wasn’t any way to explain it away.

So she did what she does best.

She let the report flutter down onto the desk in front of them and turned, gathering up the re-ordered handouts, and left the faculty room.

_____________________________________________

If you’re town could smell like anything, what would you choose?

a) sweetgrass, b) cow manure, c) algae, and d), all of the above.

If you chose D, then you would love Kusamura.

But if Kusamura was anything, it was empty enough that the wind felt clear and nice. Her walks along the empty country roads past seas of rushes and crops to and from school usually being the most peaceful moments of her day.

When she arrived home, the door pushed back against her. Blocked yet again by several large black trash bags. Groaning under her breath and removing her shoes, placing them beside the only other pair, and stepping up into the dark corridor. The flickering of the tv light illuminated her fathers figure lounging on the couch. Slouched, and vacant.

‘This is what happens to you if you keep taking it all your life.’

She thought, mumbling hello as a courtesy before heading upstairs to get changed out of her uniform. Returning a few moments later to begin dinner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I’m going out for a walk!” She called as the door shut behind her, a heavy black trash bag in each hand. She no longer waited for an answer to follow her, she knew that no one would ask where exactly she was going.

Outside, she grunted as she swung the bags onto the pile. Bending to pull the vermin nets over top of it. From under her arm a beam of dying afternoon sun caught a swatch of fabric, sticking out of one of the bags she'd just flung. She didn’t pay it any mind, just more women's clothing.

Her mother's clothing to be exact.

She pulled the vermin nets over and promptly changed direction. Heading in the opposite direction of her house and off into the quiet, darkening streets of Kuramusa.

__________________________

‘Sometimes you don’t notice a crack in the sidewalk until you’ve tripped headlong over it.

I wasn’t watching for the cracks, and even if I had been, I’m not sure I would have noticed them anyways. They were thin as hairs, and they ran along the edges and seams of our family unit.

And by the time they all connected up, it was too late.

Dad had found out mom had been seeing another man and threatened her with divorce if she didn’t leave him.

He overestimated my mother’s compassion and she promptly filed for divorce before him, remarrying the other man almost as soon as the paperwork went through.

Toshi went with her and didn’t look back. He didn’t seem to mind what mom had done, as long as it got him out of this town. You almost have to commend them for that. If there was a medal for heartless-ness, they'd have gotten gold.

When you can’t fix something, it’s easier to run away.

So you ran away.

So, what now?’

And just like that, the all-to-familiar, and every present burning in her stomach reared, the sensation that forced its way up her throat and made her jaw tight. The burning that crawled into every fibre of her muscles, coiling and bunching them like springs. The blinding numbness that creeps up over the back of her head and over her eyes like a hood.

Ignition.

In an instant her quirk was activated. Her fingernails growing hard and dense as aluminum, shooting out of their seating at each fingertip and growing to several feet in length.

Time to get to work.

Narrowing her sight to the first unimportant object she saw and swung. A trash bag, its contents spilling out over the alley pavement. Another swing, another tear, and then another, shredding and scattering the trash around like leaves.

Spinning around, another target.

A hedge this time.

She crossed the alley in a leap and slashed again. Severing it’s vulnerable limbs that dangled over the alleyway fence. Blindly, she shuffled down the road, leaving devastation in her wake. Slashing and ripping, heaving and crushing until nothing of monetary importance in the quiet alleyway remained in one piece.

At the end of the path of destruction Fumino stood panting raggedly. A cold sweat permeating through her sweater as the streetlights began to flicker on. Her "walk" was just about over.

A sudden bark of a dog dumping her back into reality, like a bucket of ice water. Instinct telling her to not bother looking around, and quickly darting into the nearest sidestreet. Stumbling shaky and weak through the quiet rural streets of Kuramusa.

[NEWS UPDATE] HiGH&LOW: The Trailer and Additional Cast and Information for “HiGH&LOW THE WORST” have been Revealed

“HiGH&LOW” is a comprehensive entertainment project that spans across manga, TV series, movies, and even lives, launched by EXILE TRIBE.

It is set in an area that used to be under the rule of “Mugen”, a legendary organisation. Amongst the ranks, beyond the control of any organisation, were the notorious and feared Amamiya brothers. However, one day, in the middle of a fight, Mugen was dispersed, and the Amamiya brothers vanished.

In the aftermath, the area was split between five organisations:

Sannoh Rengokai

White Rascals

Oya Kou (also known as Oya Koukou or Oya High School)

RUDE BOYS

Daruma Ikka

Using the initials of the groups, the area was called “the S.W.O.R.D Area” and the groups as a whole were called “G-SWORD”.

The 2019 movie “HiGH&LOW THE WORST” will be a spin-off focusing on Oya Kou, the dark and vicious high school where the average age of the students is 23 years old.

It has also been announced that the movie will be a crossover between the HiGH&LOW universe and the universe of “Crows x Worst”, the series that focuses on the power struggles of the student gangs in the Suzuran Danshi Koukou (also known as Suzuran All-Boys High School). One of the schools in the series is Housen Koukou (also known as Housen Academy) and they will be the high school featured in the crossover.

It’s the new generation of Oya Kou versus Housen Koukou.

Sorry I hit the ask button before finishing. My fav trope are age gap ( > 5 years and even more), height difference and teacher-student relationship. Do you have any BL that fits either or mix of the above? I don't mind smut (explicit) but not a fan of pwp (just smut story).

Again, sorry if I'm too demanding, hope you have a good day @allthefujoshiunite 🍀🌼

Aaand we’re back. You literally listed some of my fave tropes there so BOY do I have recommendations! Not a fan of PWP either, so rest assured.

Let’s get this party started ~

Age gap + height difference + teacher/student

Young Bad Education (Dayoo): I fell in love with Mizusawa’s eyes on the cover and bought the volume in Japanese years ago without an ounce of idea what the story was about. No regrets. Young Bad Education and its continuation Young Good Boyfriend will feed your soul. You can read it on Manga Planet (Futekiya).

Hitorijime My Hero (Memeco Arii): This title is a classic so you might have already seen it but just in case. Hitorijime My Hero has an anime adaptation as well (I’m anime-only) and the manga has a spin-off with the side couple as far as I know. The height difference is less pronounced here but if you’re like me and you love delinquents as well, this will be your jam.

The Trees in Spring (Nakaoka Naka): I’m kind of cheating but I’ll do anything to recommend this title! MCs here are a teacher and student, but the teacher isn’t teaching the student, they meet each other in a different way. I have reviewed this title before and take any chance I can get to recommend it, so there you go!

Age gap + teacher/student

Warbler, Sing of Spring (Nago Nayuta): I felt like they don’t have height difference (and checked the first chapter again) but the MCs are always drawn in weird angles so I’m not sure. Another title with the delinquent sprinkled on top. Really enjoyed reading this, Nago Nayuta’s works have a cuteness I like and the uke in Warbler is kind of unhinged xD Love him!

The Neighbor I Desire (Makoto): This one started off a bit weird for me but I can assure you it’s super cute! I have written a review before so if you want more details, here you go.

The Good Teacher (Eeej): Another title I reviewed before. It’s pretty, fun but short and while the plot is not this series’ strongest point, I think it’s worth giving a shot.

Age gap + height difference

Love for Sale (Dal Hyeon-ji): It’s official, you guys. I will literally disintegrate if I don’t recommend Love for Sale, the doctor said it not me. But honestly, do yourself a solid one and read it if you still haven’t. The pinnacle of ultimate goodness. I wrote on LfS before but since the post contaşns spoilers and is more about sugar dating than a review, I’ll spare you the link. On Lezhin.

Love Me Doctor (ANA): Another series I constantly recommended on Twitter and got a couple of unassuming, kind-hesrted people to read it with me as well. Focuses on a university student and a urology doctor he had tovisit for his ED. If you’re comfortable reading a title where a doctor kind of uses his position to get to know a patient and stepping over boundaries, please give it a chance! TOTALLY worth the time. On Lezhin.

On or Off (A1): Can’t say I understood the drama with the artist and the series being wrapped up rather quickly, but I read this popular webtoon with joy! Not as big of a fan as the rest of the BL fans but if youdig these two tropes I think it’s worth checking out. On Tappytoon, but I think TOKYOPOP has released it in print.

Metro (Chika Hongo): This is more of a dramatic title, where a high school student is being touched regularly by the same man on the train and he likes it, until one day he follows him home upon being invited. If you prefer a story that’s laced with trauma and flawed characters, this is for you! On Manga Planet.

Pound Cake on a Sunday (Amida Shizuku): Man this series is SUPER funny that I had to reread today! A father and son lives alone after the mother’s passing and one day, out of the blue, the father starts complimenting the new transfer to the company about how he’s so beautiful or saying how shiny his hair is. Is his father gay? Did he finally lose it? Read and find out! Very different from your usual BL, worth your time!

Bonus - I’m a Dom and I Want You To Stroke My Head (KINACO): Has dom/sub universe (a big fan) height difference as well, but it’s a teacher x teacher pairing.

Whew! Sorry it took a lot of time to write because it’s not so easy to format these posts on the app, it seems. I hope you like my selection and as always, let me know if you liked anything from the list! I’m always eager to know what people think after reading something I’ve recommended. See you around!

T — THE TREES IN SPRING

Hoping for a day where The Trees in Spring is no longer a hidden gem in the Futekiya library, and is talked by many. Why? I could be listing all the objective reasons, but mainly because I love it. From my A to Z BL Challenge!

Hello everyone! Today, I kind of cheated my way around for the challenge. I normally take Japanese names into account for the titles I pick, but I didn’t have any other series that I felt so strongly to write about, and I wanted to mention Kigi wa Haru no matter what so I’m sure you’ll let it slide for this once. You know, I’m a simple woman. I see pretty boys and flowers, I click. I certainly…
