I have no hope for the future of reading things online, whether legally or illegally. Every site’s taken down, everybody’s using AI to do the work, yet they expect you to pay money it’s ridiculous. And prices are so high it’s legit cheaper for me to buy it physically WITH goods.

Just finished going through the email sent by Tokyopop. This is by far the weirdest email I've ever seen a company send to consumer. What the hell did I just read?

I feel bad for the staff trying to keep Tokyopop together but wtf is this??? Why did they make everything worse by revealing they got jealous of Viz & Crunchyroll’s success through Naruto. Why did they think this story would help their charity case when they’re begging for money

Some series with typography I really like. Their overseas editions just don’t hit the same cause they removed the text or changed the font

Tfw the long-running BL featuring a wheelchair user you’ve always wanted to read comes out in Eng, but it’s 9+ volume long & published by a company that might go under (a SECOND time) because they wasted all their money on Naruto exhibitions so who knows if this series survives.

Currently crashing out cause Tokyopop destroying their future not because of their English licenses flopping, but because they decided to blew their money in 2025 to be the exclusive event holder for Naruto in Europe, a title they don’t have the license for 🙃🙃🙃

Who needs enemies when your allies are praising censorship & the oppression of queer people because it gives them *allegedly* better art. Besides being extremely tone deaf, I need people to stop romanticizing the suffering of artists. People get jailed for drawing gay sex scenes!!!!

Can I say tho that as an adult myself, I hate how adults who have clearly grown out of certain genres & demos keep demanding the stories to be more “mature” instead of moving onto stories that actually target their age group. Let the juvenile manga be juvenile I’m begging you.

My pet peeve is when people complain about the lack of a specific trope/archetype in a genre but when others point out the existing ones, they complain *again* about how the aforementioned titles are the minority. YOU are part of the problem asshole.

Rin 🌈 @rinreadsmanga.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

People always hate my answer but they’d have a lot less qualms with BL if they started reading novels. Yes they have zero pictures in them but anime studios would rather sh**t themselves than give a gay romance a budget for action scenes. Heck you’re not getting a comic either.

051

Rin 🌈 @rinreadsmanga.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

One Piece panelling is a prime example why I prefer simpler art in my manga & proof that artstyle is not everything. The double spreads are too busy, too much text, panels are too small, and composition’s lacking. Even before actually reading the pages, 1st impression’s already unpleasant.

Rin 🌈 @rinreadsmanga.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Read vol 2 of See You Again, Tomorrow & it’s still adorable. I don’t have much else to say about this series but I don’t like how Saku claims he’s not gay, he only likes Misumi in this one. Not a fan of “only gay for you” sorry

Rin 🌈 @rinreadsmanga.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Besides the Minako Narita illustration book i showed, I also ordered the Kemutai Hanashi artbook. I love how moody this book is. The illustrations evoke such a tranquil & melancholic feeling. Link: hmhm238.booth.pm/items/5482894

Rin 🌈 @rinreadsmanga.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I never see Minako Narita mentioned as one of the greats in animanga fashion conversations & it’s such a shame. She’s such a great inspo for 80s & 90s fashion. I was looking through her artbook I just received & it’s fantastic, her composition’s reminiscence of fashion magazines.

Rin 🌈 @rinreadsmanga.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Got the new Minako Narita artbook in & look at the size difference compared to the Shimizu Yuki artbook I got a few years ago for about the same price. I love shrinkflation who wouldn’t want to pay more for less 🥰

In an ironic twist of fate, the series I read not expecting to like ended up being my favorite BL I’ve read in 2026. Read all 5 volumes of Pittosporum & it was so good. Length really does matter because their romance actually had time to simmer & make you dwell on it.

Rin 🌈 @rinreadsmanga.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

People gotta stop believing that paying 500 dollars for an anime figure or hauling 50 books in one month or having an aesthetic room filled with stuff is the norm. Those people you see on the Internet are all content creators, consumerism pays them & costs us.

Rin 🌈 @rinreadsmanga.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt but you already have massive evidence like this on hand. I randomly checked the licensed titles & they don’t seem to be AI, the TL matches the official volumes. Seems to be a case-by-case situation, but I don’t appreciate the dishonesty.

Woah how did I not know Daisuke Igarashi was working on a josei manga called Kamakura Bake-neko Club? It’s in Be Love same magazine as Chihayafuru. It’s pretty rare to find male mangaka working in shojosei magazines nowadays

One thing I notice about English manga is that they often have a glossary at the end instead of putting footnotes as you come across the words like they do here. Unless it’s a difficult concept that needs a longer explanation, I’d rather they just do footnotes.

Idk how to articulate this but I like queer romance for the queerness, and some stories feel so straight to me. Like the bottom is this tiny pretty but poor omega who marries a big strong rich alpha who provides for him & the fantasy is marrying rich & then having baby after baby

Speaking of monster romance, ik the point of the story in A Kiss For The Headless Spirit is that he’s trying to regain his form, but that head better stay off during sex. Really enjoyable series so far btw, very fairy-tale-esque.

We are in a delinquent romance recession & that’s because authors don’t write them to have the rebellious spirit anymore, everybody has to have a heart of gold nowadays. I want a modern Mars, Hot Road, Gokusen, etc., not another series larping the delinquent aesthetics 😩

Continuing with Pittosporum rn & ughh these cuties, Mikami Shino so sorry I ever doubted you. Also the way Sono treats Yano made me realize how cruely a lot of rich MLs treat the poor love interest just because they’re throwing money at them. Poor people deserve to have pride too

I’m feeling so guilty cause the only thing I’ve been reading recently is BL and Ik I shouldn’t be, but I want to be a more balanced reader too. On the other hand the BL manga I read has been so good lately, I want to ride the high.

What I think are worth vs not worth the money as a long-time collector: * Worth the money: - Physical media - Artbooks - High quality figures for series you actually like - Investing in good quality storage like sturdy shelves or good plastic containers (extremely important)

Read the first 2 volumes of Pittosporum since it always rank super high in the Chil-Chil BL awards, so I wanted to see what the hype was about. It seems rather stylistically ordinary so I was ready to hate, but Jpn fans were right. I couldn’t put the series down.

Caught up to Turning recently & I fear the Yuder vs Nathan match made me more excited than any battle shonen I’ve read as of late. It’s a good thing BL novels still haven’t figured out how to write a good long-running sports-focused BL novel, Shueisha’s shaking in their boots rn

I find it interesting how every rich chaebol in Korean manhwa tries to aurafarm but they’ll still have less swag than Shinobu who cosplays as a nerd & is a bum at work. The only one who can make being a dickhead look cool & sexy I fear

Read The Apology of Noumi Senpai & it’s so fun. I love their dynamic, MC’s a manwh*re who sleeps around & the LI is his handsome openly gay junior. Two completely different people that share the same love for philosophy. The niche subject makes the story feel so fresh imo

The way it’s been over 10 years since I first read Blue Sky Complex but it’s still leagues better than the majority of the BLs I’ve read. There’s a reason why it’s been sitting comfortably at the top of my favorite BL series for years, and it sure isn’t going anywhere soon.

050

Rin 🌈 @rinreadsmanga.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Maybe it’s because I’m a bit under the weather but catching up to the working adult arc of Blue Sky Complex & I nearly cried twice. I’ve been wanting to read a BL with a connection that’s beyond sexual desire & attraction and they gave me exactly that.

Finally finished Little Forest & it’s such a charming little story. The artwork’s incredible, fits perfectly with the rustic feel of the story. The series really understand the essence of living off the land, which is all about getting creative & making full use of what you have.
