🍓AN: I wrote this instead of doing my coding assignment🤨 also was originally gonna be nsfw but idk he makes me so soft bruh no joke

🍓synopsis: Chifyu is a big fan of cliches but never in a million years he thought he’d ever experience one himself, love at first sight.

🍓Pairing: Matsuno Chifuyu x Female Reader

🍓Warnings: just pure fluff my dudes and a down bad fuyu also that I never proof read>:)

You first got to know chifuyu from your calculus class when you saw him reading one of your fave webtoons on his phone. Since you two were the only students to show up 20 minutes earlier to class.

“Omg is that the new chapter?” You blurt out without thinking, your sudden voice shocked him a bit, he was just minding his business reading on his phone until you sneaked up on him from behind.

He turns back and sees you standing, now Chifyu is a big fan of cliches but never in a million years he thought he’d ever experience one himself, but life is full of surprises isn’t it? Because as soon as his eyes fell upon you it was love at first sight. I mean it isn’t everyday when a beautiful girl talks to him asking him about the webtoon he’s reading.

He blinks a few times when he remembers that usually when a question is asked, you are supposed to answer it, ideally in the same century. “Oh? Oh yeah umn it uploads every Monday”

He notices you raising your eyebrows,somewhat acknowledging the information he shared with you as you’re quick to make yourself comfortable in the empty chair beside him. The way his eyes follow your every moment and then back to your eyes which makes you say “oh I’m so sorry is this seat taken?” You were about to get up worried you’ve been neglectful about the personal space of a stranger you just met but he shakes his head “no no don’t worry my friend usually sits here but he also usually skips Mr Yamamoto’s class every chance he gets” chifuyu will make sure to buy baji some yakisoba later for skipping class today, did him a solid for making the seat available for this mystery pretty girl “Oh alright thank you” you smile so warmly at him that it makes him hear wedding bells.

“I’ve been so busy with classes that I barely got any time to catch up on the story” you say continuing the conversation before he can get the chance to thank you. And you once again rob the him chances of saying anything as you scoot a bit closer to look at his phone screen. Chifuyu might claim he had his fair share of interacting with women in his life like the lady at the bakery who often gives him a dorayaki because she knows his mother and he has tutored his lil cousin before and didn’t his neighbour once asked him for sugar?-‘oKAY FINE I’m a big loser who hasn’t interacted with any girl my age’ he thinks to himself but even still he never thought he’d act the way he is right now when a girl approaches him. He notices you pointing at his phone screen “oh no way! You read on lehzin?!” You ask.

‘snap out of it!’ A little voice inside scolds him as he gulps to get rid of his mouth that feels like sandpaper, how the hell do you look so bright and radiant on Monday morning at a 8am class?

“Uh oh yeah where else would I read?” he chuckles a bit nervously because his brain just told him he replied quite rudely, ‘did I?’ ‘No of course not it was a pretty normal response’ ‘but I made it souNd weird!!’ He shakes his head gosh the fuck is wrong with him today. He notices how your holding back a smile like you’re embarrassed “oh my god you’re gonna make sound like a criminal when I’ll tell you that I kinda stopped using paid websites a long time ago for mangas and webtoons” you kinda wince at your lil crime confession. You look so cute right now, he can tell you’re embarrassed and he can’t help but let out a deep laugh, a hearty one that made your ears happy to witness such beautiful sounds.

“heyY! Just so you know I do prefer buying the physical books alright they are a more fun experience and I’m all about supporting authors and stuff but I got desperate okay!” there’s a pout on your lips, omg there’s a POUT! If chifuyu could see himself in third person he’d slap himself, really he would. He’s acting like a teenage girl and he doesn’t even know your name!

He smiles “I’d never judge you, trust me you haven’t seen my friend baji, the same who is currently skipping, he does far more illegal stuff than you reading on mangago” “Omg so you DO know the forbidden website” you fake a gasp putting your hand in your chest. He raises both his hands in surrender jokingly “I got desperate okay” he quotes you from earlier that makes you laugh. ‘Okay so he’s cute and funny’ you take a mental note

“But hey I have all the other work of the same author as this one, not to brag but I’ve got a pretty good collection of mangas with similar themes as this one, if you like you can come by my place I’ll lend you some” he says immediately as soon as his brain forms the sentence without thinking twice that he’s basically telling a potential crush (who you are not supposed to embarrass yourself in front of!!) about his virgin hobbies. He’s a mess today and the sweet perfume you’re wearing isn’t helping at all.

“Damn shawty at least get me dinner first” you joke back instantly cringing at the word choice but when you see the boy in front of you completely dumbfounded with the tip of his ears burning red along with most of his face, you started feeling bashful yourself. “Well in that case you didn’t even tell me your name” he says shyly scared to maintain eye contact for more than three seconds as you form an ‘o’ with your mouth “oh so rude of me to not even introduce myself!” You tell him your name as he repeats it. Both of you liking the way it rolls off his tongue. ‘Y/N’ it sounds to natural to him, like he has been saying nothing but your name for his entire life. In exchange he tells you his name and you think that it suits him, pretty boy with a prettier name.

The teacher started the lecture and you sat beside him throughout the period. He helped you a lot actually pointing out important points to include in the notes you were taking and being kind enough to even let you copy his when the teacher was going too fast for you to keep up.

You pack your things after the class ends and Chifuyu stands up with you “hey so since we have an hour long break before the next class do you wanna read the latest chapter?” He holds up the iPad he was taking notes in “and maybe I don’t know?get a snack?” Chifuyu himself doesn’t know where the sudden burst of confident came from but he thank the gods above when you agree enthusiastically with a wide smile on your face.

Social FYI post: Kakaopage

So I see on various social media spaces the immense hatred of KKP lately, because their anti-piracy task force, P.cok is going around and throwing DMCAs at scanlation and translation groups. There's been more anger towards them lately because every time a series is axed or unexpectedly cancelled, western readers have a tendency to blame everything on kakaopage.

So this is an information post!

Misinformation: KKP axes series Answer: The publisher axes series Kakaopage is an online distributor, not a publisher (although they do have some shares/involvement in some series) and are for the most part, an online platform to share content. They're a platform that allows anyone, from novices to big publishing houses to post their content in an easy and accessible way. Other such platforms include Naver or Ridi.

To give an example, Kakaopage is like Amazon, or Barnes and Nobles (USA bookstore), or even wattpad. They host a ton of stuff, but don't necessarily own it. Back in 2017, it was reported that for all content sold, the revenue is shared between Google Play (30 %), Kakao (20 %), and the publisher (50 %). The publisher then distributes those profits to the manhwa teams.

As part of their agreements with various publishers, the p.cok anti-piracy task force was created to stop piracy and illegal distribution. Their intent is purely to keep things to the official sources, to make sure the publishers (like DAON, D&C, Carrotoon etc) get paid to pass on to the manhwa teams.

As such, over the past few years, Kakaopage has invested tremendously in legal ways to read their stories in various countries:

Korea

China (Podo, Lehzin)

USA or "english speaking countries" (Tapas, Tappytoon, Radish, Webtoon, manta etc)

Indonesia (KKP indonesia)

Japan (Piccoma)

Thailand

Tappy France

Tappy Germany

etc Misinformation: Kakaopage doesn't care about your language/country Answer: Slight truth, but the more accurate answer is "the publishers don't care about your language/country" As one might notice, this isn't a very comprehensive list of countries. That's the point. Kakaopage and the Korean publishers don't care about their readers in low-readership countries (or continents) like South America, Africa, the middle east, India, Vietnam, or the Phillipines. Because simply, it's too much to invest in countries/languages that won't have high enough readership. So they focus on the "richer" countries to invest in, with translations and localization. They literally do not care about readers not in their list of localization/countries, as these readers would not pay for their services in the first place. Capitalist societies do not want their products out there for free, and that's what piracy is - people reading for free when they could be paying to support the original authors. Misinformation: Supporting officially is expensive!! Answer: Not really When you break it down, not really. on the KKP app, if you want to rent a chapter for 72 hrs, it's 200 coins. If you want to permanently buy a chapter "collect", it's 500 coins. 5000 coins = $4 on the app store 10000 coins = $9 on the app store, etc. Basically, if you want to collect a chapter, with the lowest tier = 5000 coins = 10 chapters = $4 ----> 25 cents per chapter. If you purchase on Tappytoon, I believe it comes out to about 35 cents per chapter If you purchase on Tapas, I heard it's around 30-40 cents per chapter? back to KKP: Now, as each chapter is 25 cents, imagine how that's distributed: 12.5 cents to the publisher, and 5 cents to KKP to host it. For each YM chapter purchased on KKP, which costs a reader 25 cents, DAON Entertainment gets 12.5 cents to split amongst Hayeonnim, Hyeyongnim, and the other staff. Yikes. For a 100 chapter series --> $25 to read it on kakaopage --> $12.5 goes to DAON to distribute to the manhwa team. That's not much per person. If we're lucky to get a physical release, I believe it's about $10 USD for 12 chapters for the YM physicals in KR. For Villains are Destined to Die, or Stepmothers Marchen, who have physical ENG releases, someone told me it's about $15 for 6-8 chapters (needs verification) Back to the webtoons: imagine, 100 people read 100 chapters on aggregate sites instead of one of the official routes: Hayeonnim and Hyeyongnim have already lost $1,250 in royalties/income from the series. from bato alone i see a chapter can have about 55K views. I'm not sure how to translate "views" to "readers", so lets arbitrarily say each chapter is read by 10,000 people internationally who for whatever reason, don't read officially. So 10,000 readers x 100 chapters at 0.12 cents each = loss of $125,000 of income for the manhwa teams for a series with 3 seasons released. Bottom line is, if you can support and want to support, it would be a good idea to. No one's forcing you to, but think of your favorite authors and artists ---!

Idk if you're still taking manwha reccomendations, but if you're still interested in some you should check out immortal days on lehzin. It's about two mortal guys who live in a world where everyone else is mortal (they're effectively mutants) and they work as troubleshooters (that world's private investigators) on smaller cases while intrigue about an up and coming death cult of people who legit wanna die fr loom in the background. The series isn't a romance but the main characters have a relationship that operates like a slow burn romance and almost every female side character is involved in some Sapphic stuff sjdsksjs. the art is amazing and it's so funny and interesting and its still ongoing. Cw for suicide imagery and implied, off screen sa cause one of the characters runs a max security prison where it gets done to the prisoners there if its in their list of crimes

sounds good!! thanks for the rec !!

Lucid's comics are the gold standard of boys love and I will fight anyone who says otherwise: a review of Avialae

For all 2 of my friends who read this blog, I want you to know that I debated for weeks about which comic to review first. Should I start with the "classic" yaoi manga from the 2000s/10s that sparked my obsession with boys love media in high school? Maybe write about the current trends on popular sites like Lehzin and Tapas? Or perhaps just dive straight into monsterfucking with my one true love, HamletMachine? Well, my questions were answered when nearly $200 of @misslucid comics showed up at my door last week. Thanks, Mom & Dad, for letting me shop for my own Christmas presents and not asking ANY questions about my purchases. May you never learn that I spent all your hard-earned money on porno comics and Chinese boys love novels.

The reason I say Lucid serves the gold standard of boys love is because their work touches on all these factors: they draw on the comics language and visual humor of yaoi manga, publish on the popular webtoons sites on a weekly basis, and of course the crème de la crème: they've got monsterfucking in every. Single. Comic. Have I died and gone to heaven, or did I just fall asleep on my open copy of Avialae volume 4? They're really the epitome of porn WITH plot, my absolute favorite type of erotica. My friends who prefer one-shots laugh at my desire to be strung along by a story--sometimes for months on end if it's a weekly webcomic like some of Lucid's work--but I always say it's like emotional edging! When you've seen as many illustrated dicks as I have, you need a little extra somethin' to make it worth your while, a carrot and stick situation, to use an appropriately phallic metaphor. And let me tell you, Lucid's work is worth the wait. Ultimately, I'm starting with a review of Lucid's comics so you can get a sense of my taste--this is what an A+ perfect boys love comic looks like on this blog.

First, some links! Lucid has one completed webcomic, Avialae, that you can read for free on their compilation site, yaoi.biz (the funniest URL I have ever bookmarked). That's going to be the focus of this review, since I just re-read it in print. They're also posting weekly pages for The Hunt (the Sterek fan comic of my DREAMS) and River Street (vampire x grim reaper pretty boys in NOLA) on their site and all the buzzy webcomics sites. I would highly encourage subscribing to their Patreon and/or purchasing the print comics from their online store. I've done both, but I'm a real sucker for the print books and their printed editions are totally worth the splurge. Glittering foil letters on the covers, creamy heavyweight paper, and bonus comics printed in the back, not to mention the glow-in-the-dark details on the The Hunt: it's book nerd paradise.

OK, got all that? Gave them all your money because we pay artists for their craft around here? Great, now let's dive in.

ART: Even in the very earliest pages of Avialae, you can see that Lucid is a professionally trained comics artist whose attention to stylistic detail elevates the emotionality of this series. This image comes from the very first chapter, in which Gannet wakes up to discover he's sprouted bloody, shriveled bird wings overnight. The golden-hearted bird-watchin' boy next door, Bailey, helps him patch up his back and hide his wings in the early days of the comic, in which the characters are trying to hide this monstrosity (read: queerness) from others in their conservative, midwestern high school. Lucid wrote a wonderful note about their artistic journey with Avialae in the back of volume 6, explaining that this comic was a way of reconciling their formal art school training with their personal preference for the pure camp of boys love comics. The gray wash, they explain, was considered an acceptably artsy fartsy medium for an indie comics artist to work in, even though they could hear the siren's call of full color webcomics over the horizon, and would eventually return to color with The Hunt. They clearly had to make their own way with their art, to find a balance between high art and high camp, and you can watch this journey unfold throughout the Avialae books. They start with a lot of edgy concepts and painterly line work (as you can see in the background work above), but noting readers' responses they slowly started camping things up with more yaoi tropes and visual jokes that really punched up their 'comics language' (Scott McCloud, step aside-- there's a new game in town, and they understand that comics should involve manga gags and hole pics). Their anatomy is impeccable, their backgrounds are nuanced and diverse, and huge credit to them for drawing these elaborately detailed wings for years on end. I'm a huge fan of their other comic, The Hunt, as I am apparently stuck in the year 2012 and read Sterek fanfiction once a month at a minimum, but I think the art of Avialae is my favorite. From their personal writing, I sense that this art style might not have felt the most true to their webcomics origins, but I love the subtle beauty of the gray wash. You can really see the stroke of the artist's pen in this medium: ink blooms in the background around the characters, gestural line work creates movement and fuzz that makes it feel more handmade, and the lack of color focuses one's attention on the emotions of a scene. And just look at how their skill has grown over the years! From this first sketch of a bird boy having his wings wrapped by his offscreen boyfriend, to the refined intensity of this page from chapter 6 where Gannet saves Bailey from falling out of a tree, Lucid has really honed their craft and it's been a joy to watch.

2. STORY: While the art of Avialae is probably my favorite part, Lucid's writing certainly does not disappoint. Sometimes when someone is SO artistically talented I think, ah well their writing just isn't going to be as good, there's no way someone can be that perfect, but nope! They've got it all. They have a great sense of narrative pacing across individual pages, chapters, and the total collected work; their plots make SENSE; and their dialogue is both realistic AND fuckin' funny! I think the exchange between Gannet and Bailey around ~swapping roles~ in chapter 4 is some of my favorite writing, and Lucid so smartly invokes both dialogue and the language of comics to make their joke. When Gannet's question, "Have you ever thought about bottoming?" is following my the SCRRRCCH of the car skidding to a halt, I yelped with laughter! Later in bed, Bailey asks if he should be "feeling it" more since Gannet always looks like he's "melting" when he bottoms, Gannet's response of "Oh, that's because I'm a slut" is met with the perfect little aside-expression of Bailey's exasperation. It's a comedic beat pulled from the pages of BL manga, where showing a little chibi emotional reaction face is commonplace, and it made me CACKLE. In summary: suspense, humor, and compelling emotional moments between our two male leads make the writing un-put-down-able.

3. CHARACTERS: Well folks, as you might have guessed by now this is a no-holds-barred Lucid stan account, so yup, rest assured their characters are just as much as fun as the technical elements of their comics. First of all, I love a gay monster metaphor--you can never go wrong with a character struggling to discover literal monstrosity alongside their very gay feelings for a friend, as far as I'm concerned. Second, who doesn't enjoy a sassy slut and a boy-next-door pairing? It's as classic a combo as peanut butter and chocolate!

Our two leads, Gannet Sharpe and Bailey Gilbert, have a whirlwind romance (or should I say whirl-wing--get it? Oh you did but you're just not laughing? Alright BE that way) going from frenemies next door, to co-closeted monsterfucker high school classmates, to interspecies lovers exploring the hidden world of the Avialae bird people deep in the Appal-GAY-chain mountains (I'm not sorry and I will never stop). I assess characters based on writing, design, and pure n' simple fuckability, so here we go.

First up we have Gannet, who evolves from an angry gay teen stuck in a small town to a lovestruck fool who would do anything for his partner, even abandoning his title as long-lost prince of the bird people in later chapters! He's defined by his biting humor and indefatigable slutiness, and I absolutely adore him. His character design is gorgeous--he's a strawberry blonde covered in freckles that blend into the dappling on his wings. We watch his dyed black hair grow out through the series in a gesture of subtle realism that speaks to Lucid's incredibly patient and thorough artistic vision. He's got a splendid little collection of body piercings but I won't spoil the surprise for you here--you'll just have to read the books to see more. An incredibly fuckable character, indeed. Personally, I'd say I lean more into identifying with Gannet rather than wanting to fuck him myself, but that's just because I'm also an edgy strawberry blonde, and am not usually attracted to people who I think look too much like me. But I'll be honest, if I ever landed in the world of Avialae and saw this cutie in his angel costume, I might have to make an exception.

Bailey, on the other hand, makes me go absolutely FERAL. His BLUSH, his TEARS, his EMOTIONAL SINCERITY--god DAMN I am sprung. He's got this tight little track star body and an ass that Gannet is often admiring from afar, and wow do I get it. Not too tall, glasses, normcore in the streets and a begging bottom in the sheets: I love a man who can do it all. Bailey is funny in his own right, the naïve "straight man" (but gay) who is constantly comedically surprised by Gannet's outrageous advances. He's obsessed with birds despite an allergy that leaves him constantly sniffling in the first 2 chapters, but he gets new allergy meds and through it all supports Gannet in his trial of self-discovery. He's sweet and simple but also a raging monsterfucker, and I would absolutely DEMOLISH him in bed.

4. HORNINESS: Ah, the most important category on the list: how spank-bankable is this comic? Well, let me tell you: you're going to want to lock this one in the vault and throw away the key. Your sexuality will be forever changed for the better by these loving little twinks screwing each other 6 ways to Sunday. I'm not going to post any explicit pictures because Tumblr, ugh, but you should know: Lucid's artistic training really pays off. It's an uncensored salve to all the white-out lightsaber dicks splashed across Webtoons right now. Holes, poles, mouths, and feathers a' flyin'--you're gonna wanna see this.

Hands down, though, the best part of Gannet and Bailey's dynamic is that they SWAP ROLES. You almost never see this in boys love comics, and I think it's to the detriment of the genre as a whole. I say this as queer cis woman who identifies as an S&M switch--real gay people swap roles in bed all the time! Sure, plenty of folks identify as only a top OR bottom, or only ever play as a dom OR sub, but a lot of us live in shades of gray; it's all about the dynamic with a specific partner. When I first read this comic online about a year ago, I think I actually screamed out loud when I got to chapter 4 and realized that it wasn't just a joke in the car--Gannet was actually going to top Bailey after 3 chapters of the opposite dynamic! And holy shit was it hot. There's something so satisfying about watching a boy bottom for the first time, and adding the unexpected surprise of having a theretofore tomboy top confess to wanting to be controlled, dominated, entered by his far more femme partner? I was over the goddamn moon with giddy horniness.

The monsterfucking is also excellent, especially if you're more into light fantasy monster lovin'. Personally, I love me some wild ass monster dicks in my porn, but the human anatomy in Lucid's comics is so well done that I don't even mind if no one is getting gaped or cum-dumped! Gannet and Bailey have a really tender, loving sexuality that shines through all their kinky adventures, and I have happily jerked it to their beautifully realistic sexual exploits many, many times. Also, major points to Lucid for including condoms and lube in every single sex scene! This ain't your mother's magically pre-lubed yaoi hole, folks--this author actually knows how human buttholes work. Their characters speak openly about STD testing in the epilogue wedding, and when they finally do it RAW it's with full informed consent. I really loved this little condom PSA in a BL world that seems typified, these days, by buckets of cum spraying everywhere, on everyone, all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love a cum shot as much as the next pervert on the internet, but Lucid's subtle attention to reality makes their comics feel emotionally organic and satisfyingly original.

FINAL VERDICT/TLDR: 10's across the board, Lucid's Avialae has it all: great art, humorous writing, sexy & believable characters, and kinky ass sex scenes. Porn with plot made for all you sentimental monsterfuckers out there, this comic is sure to satisfy if you're looking for a longer read that'll really suck you into its fantasy world. Highlights include: a killer sense of humor, beautifully rendered bird wings, a swapping sexual dynamic, and an evergreen gay-monster-metaphor that feels familiar but still fresh!

I truly love all of Lucid's work and hope to write in more depth about their ongoing webcomic, The Hunt, in a future post. Monsterfuckers unite! Thanks for reading.

Thoughts on an official YM ENG license

A reader asked what my thoughts are on the chances of YM getting an official english localization?

Personally, while I would LOVE IT TREMENDOUSLY, I think the chances are VERY LOW.

Why? For a few reasons:

1) The author herself, Eclair. 2) Publisher contracts 3) Lack of interest

Based on my very limited interactions with her, I have a suspicion that she may be the sort of author that doesn't want to have their works localized internationally, and want to keep it in South Korea only. A few years ago, on a different Author's twitter, there was a rant of how they wanted to keep their copyright in Korea only, they have no interest in international translations and the headache with localizations, and it received a lot of likes from fellow authors. Again, I have no evidence to back up Eclair-nim's thoughts on an overseas localization. But I do find it unusual, that out of the 4 series she's published so far on Naver/KKP, none have English localizations.

2018 - Your Majesty, Please Spare Me This Time (was pre-planned and written from 2015-2020) (publisher: Gaha) 2020 - Villain Duke's Precious One (publisher: DAONNovels) 2022 - The Gangster Baby of the Duke's Family (publisher: DAONNovels) 2023 - So I Married an Abandoned Crown Prince (publisher: kwbooks)

All four have comic adaptations, produced by DAON Entertainment. YM's novel finished publication in 3/2019, with the epilogue 10/2019 on KKP, and a webtoon was released 10/2020. Duke's precious one finished publication 6/2020, and a manhwa came out quickly in 1/2021. The other two have just started serializing a manhwa this year in 2023 and have not been officially licensed.

It's known that the KKP platform puts a great deal of effort and has its own task force on quickly organizing contracts for its webtoons. As we know, the major ones are tapas (owned by KKP itself), tappytoon (2nd most common), then there's webtoon, manta, lehzin. As DAON ENT is a major publishing company, it works closely with KKP to serialize its stories.

As for Novels, it gets a bit more complicated since it's not as streamlined. YM's novel is published with Gaha, and I don't know anything about their localizing trends. But as YM's webtoon is published on tappy, it's likely that tappy will also have the novel license; just like if Villain Duke gets one, it'll be on tapas first. But there's always exceptions, and it really boils down to who wants the license most.

Maybe it's also because no one is interested in investing in this series for a novel translation? However there's plenty of series with much less views that get localized so not sure.

But in the end, if the bottom line is that the author herself doesn't want her story to be published internationally, then we can't do much on that.
