Where do people keep up with Given anime/manga updates. I’ve been a huge fan of the series for years but have never really been able to figure out where to look for updates and stuff and have been relying on bits and pieces that other people post on other social media sites but have never been able to find the original source and I need help.
I also would like if someone told me where to go to get all the cool merchandise because I also don’t know where to go for that either

Anime Recs Pt 3
Hello hello! I’ve been sick on and off this month and had a blast revisiting my fave anime for this rec series. Following the queer friendly list and the sports anime list, I finally bring a selection of BL (boys love) titles. Most are Japanese 🇯🇵 except for Mignon 🇰🇷 and Tian Guan Ci Fu 🇨🇳 I’m not gonna lie, there’s a fair amount of adult themes and hardcore angst here, but you’ll also find sweet romance and a couple coming-of-age stories. One of my favorites from this list - Ai No Kusabi - is an old classic (I recommend the 1992 OVA series over the 2012 remake) and the quality is not the best, but all other shows are pretty recent and can be found online or on Crunchyroll. I initially planned for this to be my third and final rec list, but I got a few additional recs in the action/fantasy genre for a potential new list, if anyone’s interested? Stay tuned!
1. Ai no Kusabi (dystopian, tragedy)
Summary: This futuristic tale is set in a world ruled by a super computer Jupiter, where its cyborg creations, the Elites, rule over the human populace. Iason Mink, a high-class "Blondy" elite from the capital runs into Riki, a "Mongrel" from the slums, and makes him his "Pet". As Riki learns of the dangers Iason faces by keeping him, he finds himself developing feelings for his master.
2. Banana Fish (mafia, tragedy)
Summary: Set primarily in New York City in the 1980s, the series follows street gang leader Ash Lynx as he uncovers a criminal conspiracy involving "banana fish", a mysterious drug that brainwashes its users. In the course of his investigation he encounters Eiji Okumura, a Japanese photographer's assistant with whom he forms a close bond.
3. Doukyuusei (movie - school, romance)
Summary: Rihito Sajo, an honor student with a perfect score on the entrance exam and Hikaru Kusakabe, in a band and popular among girls, would have never crossed paths. Until one day they started talking at the practice for their school’s upcoming chorus festival.
4. Given (school, music)
Summary: High schooler Ritsuka Uenoyama is the guitarist for a band composed of himself, bassist Haruki Nakayama, and drummer Akihiko Kaji. He becomes a reluctant guitar teacher to Mafuyu Satō, a shy classmate, after repairing the broken strings on Mafuyu's Gibson ES-330. See also: Given movie.
5. Mignon (short series - vampire romance + the hottest smut you’ll see today!!!!🥵)
Summary: Centered on BL Vampire themes, the story portrays Mignon, an underground fighter in love with his doctor, who is coincidentally a vampire. The doctor's revelation triggers complications as their relationship unfolds.
6. Saezuru Tori Wa Habatakanai | Twittering Birds Never Fly (movie - mafia, drama)
Summary: The sexually masochistic yakuza boss, Yashiro, isn't the type to warm up to others easily. But when Chikara Doumeki, his newly hired bodyguard, catches his interest, he reconsiders his "hands-off" policy with subordinates. See also the side story: Don’t Stay Gold.
7. Sasaki and Miyano (school, romance)
Summary: Shy and easily flustered Miyano harbors an embarrassing secret - he is a "fudanshi", a boy who likes boys' love manga. Intrigued, the clueless delinquent Sasaki requests to borrow one, marking a shift in their strange dynamic.
8. Tiān Guān Cì Fú | Heaven’s Official Blessing (romance)
Summary: Crown Prince Xie Lian ascends to the heavens for the third time as the laughing stock among all three realms. On his first task, he meets a mysterious ghost who rules the ghosts and terrifies the heavens, yet, unbeknownst to Xie Lian, this ghost king has been paying attention to him for a very, very long time.
9. Umibe No Étranger (movie - romance)
Summary: On an island off the coast of Okinawa, two young men meet on a beach. Shun Hashimoto is gay and aspires to be a novelist. He is interested in Mio Chibana, a somber high school student, and starts to flirt with him. Day by day, the two of them grow closer, but then, suddenly, Mio decides to leave the island.
10. Yuri!!! On ICE (sports, romance)
Summary: Japanese figure skater Yuri Katsuki faces a crushing defeat during the Grand Prix finals and heads home, unsure of whether or not he wishes to continue his skating career. After a video of Yuri mimicking Russian figure skater Victor Nikiforov's routine goes viral, Victor decided to become Yuri's coach, much to the dismay of his coach, his fans, and his fellow Russian skater Yuri Plisetsky.

The 40: Catch the Bullet
"To answer your question, you get to be a superhero by believing in the hero within you and summoning him or her forth by an act of will." - Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias
----
@the-ravenclaw-werewolf, @purplemochi20055, @hulkchloron99, and @r3dp4nd4ch1ld
----
I decided to bust out my drawing tablet and use Photoshop again to create a comic for The 40, and I will say...it's a start for me to brush up on my digital illustration skills.
Izuku has come a long way after his year-long intense training regiment compared to his Pre-Character Development self. But the most gracious physical feat he had performed that would make Bakugou jealous and All Might proud, was being able to catch a bullet fired from a revolver.
I was looking over Alan Moore's well-known comic, Watchmen, and was greatly interested in Ozymandias' character and the astonishing physical and mental feats he's able to perform after dedicating himself to training his mind and body by retracing the steps of Alexander the Great by traveling the world. The one thing that interests me about how he managed to become what he is, is through his interview in the second to last issue. Where Adrian firmly believes that anyone can do what he can achieve, as you need to have the belief and willpower to see it through.
And what do you know...Izuku manages to do the impossible after the many trials that await him in the year-long intense training regiment. Reacting immediately upon seeing an unknown assailant pull a revolver on him, and summoning all of his willpower and technique to time his catching of the bullet correctly. However, like with Ozymandias, Izuku's skin was damaged from the bullet due to the obvious friction from the speed it had. But it's still a great accomplishment compared to his pre-training self, as the bullet would've burst through his hand and killed him, never mind the idea that he could actually catch it.
----
Afterward reaction from the other members of The 40.
Spike Spiegel: Shhiieeeeeeeeettt kid...you actually caught it...
Levi Ackerman: Well I'll be damned...
Zuko: Izuku...you did it.
Korra: That...was the most craziest thing you have ever done.
Saitama: ...Good for him...
Mob: That was close!
Edward Elric: How is that possible?
Ishigami Senku: That can't be scientifically possible!
Gojo: Bwa ha ha ha! Amazing!
Hanako: That was close.
Souma: Holy crap!
Mako: Whoo hoo Izuku-kun!
Kobayashi: That was too close for comfort!
Tohru: (worryingly) Izuku-kun!
Chika: Hmm...I must keep a close eye on this one.
Haruka: ...Huh...
Naegi Makoto: He actually caught it!
Ciel Phantomhive: That was...impressive...
Katsuki Yuuri: That took some insane reaction speed.
Shouyou Hinata: Go for it Izuku!
Saiki Kusuo: I knew he would catch it. Looking at you Omnitheist27.
Suzui Ryōta: I wouldn't take a gamble like that.
Heine Wittgenstein: He has come a long way.
White Blood Cell / Neutrophil (U-1146): The medulla oblongata must be very active for him to do that.
Satō Mafuyu: ...
Hasegawa Langa: ...
Killua Zoldyck: While impressive for someone like Izuku, I've seen greater reaction time.
Kamado Tanjirou: Yeah! Izuku-san!
Kuroko Tetsuya: ...
Okumura Rin: I've got to train harder if I want to do that.
Fujioka Haruhi: That really was close.
Emma: Go Izuku!
Serinuma Kae: I've got to read Observepeople again!
L: To possess the will needed to pull that off...
Shiota Nagisa: I'm not sure if I want to do that...
Legoshi: So humans are capable of such feats.
Suzuki Iruma: I wonder if learning to catch a bullet would come in handy for school?
Fujinuma Satoru: That...is something you don't see every day.
Feliciano Vargas (North Italy): I'm starting to get flashbacks of Japan wanting to cut bullets.
----
Canon MHA cast reaction:
Midoriya Inko: (bawling) IZZUUUUUKKUUU!!!
All Might: (in English) Oh my...oh my...GOODNESS!!!
Bakugou Katsuki: Tch! I would've caught it as well!
Uraraka Ochako: You did it Deku-kun!
Iida Tenya: WHILE I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND SUCH ACTION, I WILL ADMIT MIDORIYA-SAN'S EFFORT!
Todoroki Shouto: Midoriya...
Asui Tsuyu: That was reckless Midoriya-san, but good job.
Mineta Minoru: HE'S INSANE!!! Although he was pretty cool.
Kirishima Eijiro: MANLY!!!
Shinso Hitoshi: Could I do that...
Togata Mirio: POWER!!!
Izumi Kota: Kick his ass Izuku!
Eri: D-D-Do your best Deku!
Shouta Aizawa: (to the rest of Class 1-A) If I catch any of you performing a stunt like that...

Ten BL titles to make you cry
Special thanks to @ghaniblue who inspired this reclist!
If you’re like me and enjoy your BL occasionally sprinkled with trauma & heartbreak, I got you some good food. As you can probably tell, these BL stories are not for the faint of heart so make sure to check the tags before jumping in. Apart from Momentum - which compiles both happy and sad shorts - these are really tough reads that tackle heavy themes such as depression, prostitution, sexual and psychological abuse, addiction and the likes. Some of these are just a series of unfortunate and painful events, really. But I promise that all the suffering comes with moving love stories about healing, endurance, redemption and hope; so if you enjoy complex characters, complicated relationships, amazing world building and compelling plots, you can’t go wrong with these. Completed works are marked with an *. Stay safe and enjoy!
*Dark Heaven by Juns
Conor, a Korean-American, lives in a city where same-sex marriage has been legalized, but where racist and homophobic hate crimes are still frequent. He joins a band with Simon and the two go on to create their own “dark heaven” in an abandoned church. Feelings develop between the pair, but light cannot dwell with dark, and their time together will soon come to an end.
*December Rain by Kimon
Fresh out of the army, Suchae decides to take some time off and travel around the country by himself. On the first day of his trip, he spots a guy who looks totally his type at a rundown bus terminal. Despite the possibility of him being a creep, Suchae is drawn to the mysterious stranger. Cw: tragedy
Given by Kizu Natsuki
The series follows a group of four students in an amateur rock band, and the dual romantic relationships that form among them: between electric guitarist Ritsuka Uenoyama and vocalist Mafuyu Satō, and between bassist Haruki Nakayama and drummer Akihiko Kaji.
Missing Love by In hyerin
While celebrating his engagement at a reunion, Lim Wooyeon encounters Lee Geom, who has gone missing for eight years. In a dark alley, Lee Geom, who disappeared after suddenly kissing him, awakens the regret buried in his heart.
*Momentum by Park ji-yeon
“Momentum” is a series of beautifully drawn vignettes that glimpse into the life-altering moments of several couples as they fall in and out of love. This BL features a series of characters learning how to love, understand, and forgive one another �� and in some cases, the world – at different moments in their lives.
*Ouroboros by Songhyel
Woo Hyung’s life has hit rock bottom. He’s traumatized after several days of being imprisoned and abused by his brother-in-law, an event that eventually left him both wifeless and jobless. His only way of coping is sex, and two very different men who can provide exactly that show up in his life.
*Pearl Boy by Zoy, Inking
Dooshik is in a bind. After making off with the takings from the gay bar where he worked, he seeks refuge in a small, coastal town. As his funds dwindle, he desperately needs a way to make ends meet.
Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai by Yoneda Kou
Yakuza Yashiro who only ever loved Kageyama, meets his new bodyguard, Doumeki Chikara. The masochistic, lewd and beautiful Yashiro and his silent, clumsy, impotent subordinate, Doumeki. This is the story of a man who has never known happiness and a man who is reborn by getting to know him.
*Stigma by Marloong
In the dark alleys of the city, there's no hope for trash like Sehyun. Having sex with strangers in the cramped stall behind a bar is just a typical Thursday night. But after a chance encounter with the brash and violent Boris, he begins to dream of living a normal life and putting an end to his restless nights.
Under the Plum Blossom Tree by Bori, Baekha
As the son of a prestigious political figure in Joseon, Hajin has only ever been interested in studying to become like his father. That is, until he meets Kim Namwoo, a young man who takes on various odd jobs as he struggles to pass his exams. As they overcome hardships together and learn more about each other's history, they soon realize that their lives are intertwined in more ways than they thought.

maple and harvest for the autumn asks !!
Thank you for the ask, Miki!! ⭐
maple - is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did?
I've always been really interested in clay sculpture! I would love to be left to my own devices in a studio with a block of clay for a day - it has always struck me as a really expressive artform and I really admire the way sculptors are able to create such evocative forms with just their hands and some tools. It's almost like painting but with further dimensionality. I'd be really keen to try it some day - maybe I should buy some airdry clay and start small!
harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why?
Whew, what a question! It's difficult to simply pick one because I identify with various characters for many reasons. Seeing as he's been on my mind a lot today, I will say Mafuyu Satō from given!
Mafuyu is one of my all-time favourite characters - he is very dear to me and makes me feel very seen. When I watched given for the first time, he immediately stood out to me as a character I saw myself in. He is a reserved individual with a flat-affect, but do not be deceived into thinking he is unemotional! Mafuyu cares very deeply, to the extent that he struggles to move on from his past and often finds himself consumed by memories in the aftermath of trauma. The series explores the way Mafuyu has bottled up these feelings, and how this brings him a great deal of pain; he eventually finds a medium to express himself through and it becomes a rich and essential outlet to him. Mafuyu is soft, gentle, but also quietly opinionated and keen to use his newfound voice as a platform to help others. All of this deeply resonated with me as a viewer, and I have held him in my heart ever since.
I also watched the series at a time where I was trying to better understand myself, and it meant a lot to see the depiction of a canonically queer character in an anime which didn't reduce him to a harmful stereotype. Mafuyu falls in love with other boys, and it is not depicted as something weird or, alternatively, wholly character-defining. It is an important part of his narrative, but it doesn't dominate it - he exists as a broadly dimensional character, and it meant a lot at that point in my life to see the way queerness was simply normalised in the series and through Mafuyu's character specifically.
One other thing that struck me about Mafuyu was how deeply autistic-coded he is. Along with all the traits I have listed, Mafuyu appears to struggle with social cues and his methods of interacting with other people are distinctly 'unusual'. He speaks in a quiet monotone and tends to stare people down, but at other times he averts his gaze entirely. He swings between being emotionally intense and distant, and has a tendency to be directly honest with his words. He also exhibits echolalia and as a child is shown to line-up objects and generally play alone as opposed to with his peers. Watching Mafuyu onscreen was so meaningful to me as an autistic person with trauma - it felt like nuances about myself were being conveyed to me in a way that felt realistic and encouraging, as opposed to being alienating stereotypes. When I watched given in 2019, I found this article which explores Mafuyu's autistic traits a bit further - if you're curious, I highly recommend giving it a read. I haven't read the manga yet and (as far as I am aware!) he is not canonically autistic, but I feel like it is such a palpable undercurrent to his character that (in my opinion) it is difficult to interpret him as neurotypical.
Apologies for the ramble! Mafuyu is very beloved to me and I identify with him a lot! I will also give an honourable mention to Ugetsu, who is another deeply relatable character to me from given, but I will spare everyone another ramble!
autumnal asks
#thank you again for the ask miki!!! these were really fun questions and a pleasure to answer!!#i really love mafuyu very dearly - to anyone who hasn't watched given yet i can only offer my highest recommendation!#i hope this is eloquent enough - i'm a bit under the weather at the moment and i've been struggling to articulate myself lately :(#i'd like to share more of my ramblings some time so this has been a nice taster to it! it makes me very nervous but i like to chatter adfgs#sea answers#sea rambles#given

Given: the power of music.
Given it’s a manga written and illustrated by Natsuki Kizu in 2013. The story of this comic is about 2 boys, Mafuyu Satō and Ritsuka Uenoyama, that fall in love between music. To not give spoilers (if you haven’t watch this incredible anime) I want to focus only on the important part of this drama, and it’s the music and the magic that it brings to the show. The music is the soul of given, it’s what projects the feelings in all their splendor. You can tell when the characters feel happiness, anger, discouragement, and especially, sadness and desolation.
All members of given have a sad and kinda dark past that links them to musical instruments, fact that I believe, is the best plots of what given is, all of them begin to relate in a more intimate way with sounds and chords (if it’s possible) and start to make their own stories with tears and powerful meanings.
I honestly believe that if given wouldn’t had the connection with such good melodies, it wouldn't be so good as it is. The fans of the show frequently listen to the Ep’s that are on different streaming platforms, keeping alive the beauty of a group of friends that make their best to be one of the greatest bands of japan, songs that I also, will keep on the deepest of my heart forever.
Thank you Natsuki Kizu for showing us what a simple combination of chords can do to our bodies, mind and soul. Completely recommended.
María José Acevedo Seignourel.
