jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I saw a comment elsewhere lamenting the lack of bl genre fiction compared to gl genre fiction, citing Utena and Sailor Moon as examples of the latter and Eva of the former, and I’m scratching my head a bit 260
jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I mean, yeah, a LOT of bl proper is slice of life, but… Sarazanmai? No. 6? TSHD? CLAMP’s general oeuvre? All pretty comparable to Sailor Moon in the gayness regard, I feel 220
ローラ @kittywittycat.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Like, I read my share of slice of life cause I gotta live vicariously thru manga a little, but I think most of the BL I read/watch/play isn't. Like, omg, just look at the wuxia boom. Where do these people live, an alternate dimension? 110
jess @daisicles.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Obviously if you expand out of anime and/or Japanese media more broadly, there are many more options, but this poor person has been neglected if no one’s been passing on anime recs to them 120
