After waking up from a dream that showed Qin Xiong a possible future between him and Upperclassman, he decided to make a bold move and bring his dream a little closer to reality.

[door]

Qin Xiong didn't plan it this way. He hadn't planned anything at all. But he was wholly unprepared for the shock of having Upperclassman in his home.

There was no change in the sound of conversation in the next room. Qin Xiong wiped his hands on his apron. “Qi Fang?” he called, turning the corner from the kitchen into the hall. “Did you--” he was stopped by a solid form which took up much of the hallway.

“Upperclassman is here,” Qi Fang said helpfully, unseen behind the looming figure.

Qin Xiong jumped back, knocking into the doorframe. Upperclassman reached out one large hand to steady him. The weight of it on his shoulder was overwhelming, and Qin Xiong felt his face heat, the same way it had whenever he ran into Upperclassman lately. He swallowed, and raised his eyes the long distance up to his face.

I wrote this thing! I like it! Ok bye!

Qin Xiong: About a week ago, I accidentally slept with our upperclassman.

Qi Fang: ... really?

Qin Xiong: Yes.

Sun Jing: You accidentally slept with our upperclassman?

Qin Xiong: Yes.

Sun Jing: Accidentally?

Qin Xiong: Yes.

Sun Jing: I don't understand, did you trip over something?

I took procrastination to the max today when I broke out my Posca fabric paint pen and, in really horrible handwriting, wrote the "我喜欢你/I like you" yellow umbrella quote from 她们的故事/Tamen de Gushi/Their Story on my own yellow umbrella. I've taken Mandarin classes for about 6 months and my handwriting is not great, especially when writing up against a wall in order to get the characters the correct way up! The yellow umbrella is spring loaded opening so when you press the button on the handle, it pops open to reveal the message just like in the manhua! I used a black Posca Paint Pen in the biggest size (~15mm tip). Umbrella can be sourced from Amazon, it is around £13. It is wind resistant so it doesn't break when it's windy. Posca pen was from CultPens (I always spend too much money buying all the pens on this website oh my) for around £4.50. It is really chunky and will last practically forever! CultPens also sends their things super fast and it only takes a day for postage to my house.

GAY MANGA/MANHUA - TASTE EDITION

Like Manga/Manhua? Like Gays? Like Wholesome, healthy relationships? Then I got ya

None of my recommendations depict relationships that are toxic, or that rely on harmful tropes that so often crop up in many these stories, and they're also pretty tame in their depiction of sex acts (and if there is a sex scene it’s between two consenting adults).

So working from left to right top to bottom, here are some of my recommendations and a little bit about why they’re cool (and as @peachylixir​ and @acoustickitten​ asked, I’m tagging you guys so you see it!)

19 Days: Old Xian really wrote an ongoing masterpiece. It’s funny, it’s cute, but it also throws the occasional deep moment were you realize the author really understands what it means to be gay. Reading it as a mostly gay sort of man, it really resonated with me. The characters are also complex and multidimensional, and they come alive throughout the series.

(Old Xian is referred to as female, but often depicts themselves as male and uses male pronouns, so I suspect they might understand first hand the difficulties that come with being LGBT)

Tamen De Gushi: This one is by Tan Jiu and you’ve probably seen it on Tumblr. It stars the cinnamon roll Qiu Tong and the Futch Icon Sun Jing. It’s amazing. Again a lot of the things I’ve said about 19 days also applies to Tamen De Gushi.

However, instead of Yakuza parents, it’s Basketball competitions, and the softer narrative is reflected in the comfier style the characters are drawn in. But again, funny, cute, characters that jump off the page. (And it has the wonderful Upperclassman Xuezhang and oblivious Qin Xiong, who will never not make you smile)

Ikumen★After: CUTE GAY DADS! This one is wholesome off the scale. It stars two dads and their adorable kids. One of the dads openly identifies as gay and the other realizes along the way. 

It’s genuine and heartfelt and the charters will bring warmth to your soul. Also, both of them always put their kids first and try to be amazing dads, and that’s a recurring theme (i.e. they remain good dads throughout). It’s a bit of a slow burn, but it’s written in a way that makes sense and is true to the characters, altogether an amazing read.

Canis Series: This one was interesting. I kinda enjoyed it because both characters help each other grow, and even though it’s love at first sight for one of them, he makes sure to put the other one’s needs and growth ahead of that.

It’s also the only one on the list that depicts sex scenes, but they wrote in a way that’s very authentic and funny (neither character has experience with men). The way they navigate sex is very healthy, with plenty of open communication, and it made me smile. (The character does his research, get’s himself some fleet, and they work up to going full hog. Also when the bottom wants to stop, the top stops and they cuddle, perfectly content, and it’s painted as a positive thing, which it is!)

I Hear the Sunspot: HEARING IMPAIRED GAY! Okay, this one was amazing and I think it changed me the most. It’s a romance but one of the main characters has a significant hearing impairment.

A lot of the manga focuses on how people with hearing disabilities or who are deaf have a different experience to those who can hear, and how it affects their lives and relationships. I found it incredibly interesting and learned a lot. 

It’s incredibly sweet and it’ll change you’re understanding for the better!

Hoshi Dake ga Shitteru: The art style is cute! It’s quite short but very sweet. Oh and one of the leads is openly bisexual! He’s also colorblind, which features into the story a little bit. It’s a fun read, and I’d recommend it, I just wish it lasted a little longer.

End Note: I’d recommend starting with 19 Days and/or Tamen De Gushi. Both can be found translated in full on Tumblr, and are probably the most accessible for people getting into manga (especially those used to reading left to right).

After that, I’d go for Ikumen★After if you want fluff, I hear the Sunspot if you want something a bit more serious and complex.

If you need a crawler I’d recommend the Tachiyomi app, and the Mangafree, Manganello, and Manga Rock catalogs (that’s were I get most of my manga from)
