You know what time it is??

It's heckin Blorbo time 😈

He my handsome little boio. I love him so much. I wish he wasn't so underrated. Words cannot express how much I love this old grandpa of a nation. So I drew him 5 times. I just drew him in random outfits, whatever came to mind basically. I also added Neko China into the mix for funsies.

forgive the not so great image quality, apparently it's a thing on tumblr...

Creating Watchtower of China was a labour of love. I say labour because we, meaning my crew and I, throughout three consecutive summers, visited over seventy cities and travelled countless thousands of kilometers.

When I set out on this project I wanted to create a visual tribute to China - an honest observation of daily life. Not a surface travelog, but a real and raw representation of the cultural history. An honoring of Chinese culture, identity, and the complex and varied way of living that spans the enormity of the Chinese territory. A window on the dedication and discipline, the craftsmanship and hard work of the Chinese people.

BL recs (from any country) that don't have any s*x scenes? I'm too ace to enjoy them at all. Happy ending preferred, angst v welcome:)

BLs Without Sex Scenes

Oof, this is a hard one. Is a dead fish kiss okay? I do have a heat sorting on the spreadsheet of doom, and there are some with no kissing at all, but a dead fish kiss is in most of the HEA ones.

BLs with No Kisses

21 Days Theory (Thailand, YouTube) - the only thing I didn't like about this pulp was the fact that they don't kiss, so... yeah, this is my first pick for you. Very YA first love angsty, fantastic queer rep and side characters. RECOMMENDED

My Esports Genius Brother (China, Gaga?) - it's hella odd censored bromance but enjoyable. No real angst tho.

HIStory My Hero (Taiwan, Viki) - basically a BL with no sex or kissing, but also body-swap so is it BL? I can't remember the end but I think it's happy?

Silhouette of Your Voice AKA Hidamari ga Kikoeru (Japan, ????) - this 2017 yaoi adaptation is a full on BL just no kissing at all. The source manga (I Hear the Sunspot) is a favorite of mine and the casting was decent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for you (but not in general). Grey only.

Love of Siam (Thailand, ????) ALL THE ANGST, I'm pretty sure the most they do is hug, I could be v wrong though because too sad for me to ever rewatch. Very formative to the Thai BL industry.

The Lover (BL cut) (Korea ????) sometimes you can find the BL cut on YT, it has slapstick comedic sexualized moments that are maybe a little homophobic (or something), no actual sex or kissing, but no angst at all. (Korea's working some shizz out with this early offering.)

Kabe Koji AKA Kabesaa Doujin Sakka no Neko Yashiki-kun wa Shounin Yokkyuu wo Kojirasete iru (Japan, Viki) - I watched this and I was excited about it before it aired, but I seem to have expunged it from my memory and kept no screen caps in annoyance, so that's all I got.

Love in Spring AKA Spring of Crush (Korea, ????) - a crossdressing historical that flew utterly under the radar. I decided it just wasn't really BL, but it has BL aspects and it's kinda a little queer... or something. Grey only.

Evening Cafe (Thai pulp, YouTube) - No heat and no kisses, but a decent lead pair, about a boy who works in a cafe and the new employee who has a crush on him. That’s it, that's the whole story.

A Shoulder to Cry On (Korea, Viki) - Has no kissing and many people found it really good as @isisanna-blog reminded me, thank you). It certainly has ALL THE ANGST. (I did not like it at all, but I'm a terrible judge of this kind of BL.)

What Did You Eat Yesterday? (Japan ???) - this is such a lovely show, very warm and comforting and slice of life. There is very little angst, they too old for that shit, but little to no sexual content either. It's very warm and loving. A safe extremely yet queer show - and oh boy do we not get many of those. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Censored Bromances

So No Kisses (TM) for the gays but the hets might do stuff I didn't pay attention to. All these from China. Some happy, most not.

The Untamed

Word of Honor

Guardian

SCI Mysteries

Stay With Me AKA Addicted 2.0 (I never watched this so there may be rough play)

Mr CEO Falling in Love With Me

The Fairy Fox

Youth in the Breeze

Precise Shot

Advance Bravely

His Cat AKA His Cat Boyfriend

The Male Queen: Han Zi Gao

The "Ghost Boyfriend" series

Past Youth

I Go To School Not By Bus (Hong Kong short)

Recommended Shorts with no kisses, but cute & fun

The 8.2 Second Rule (Japan YouTube)

One Last Order (Korea, Gaga)

Love Advisor (Thailand, YouTube)

BLs with Dead Fish Kisses (maybe? only one, if any)

His the series: I Didn't Think I Would Fall In Love (Japan ????) - (NOT His the movie) this one has all the angst you could want in your whole life. ALL OF IT. Japan wins at emo, it's their THING.

Cherry Magic AKA 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard AKA 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii AKA Cheri Maho (Japan ????) - there's sort of some bed tussling and implied sex but you could imagine them just being snuggles for the mains, the sides have dead fish kiss. In general there's some angst but not much. It's fluffy and great. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Bonus: overt ace representation for one of the side characters.

Meow Ears Up (Thailand Viki) - sides may kiss? I enjoyed this pulp especially at the start, the premise is fun. I think my biggest complaint was lack of kissing.

My Love Mix Up AKA Kieta Hatsukoi (Japan Viki), a case could be made for a demi seme in this BL. So much frenetic angst around bisexual identity crisis. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

My Ride (Thailand Gaga) - my favorite Thai BL pulp the sides have a good kiss and the mains do kiss but it's v dead fish, not at all sexual, and it comes at the very end. Otherwise extremely chaste, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this BL, queer and complex and engaging.

I Want to See Only You AKA Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai (Japan ????) - This is a beautiful piece of cinema well acted, about two boys who are opposite personalities and grew up together. The only kiss is the one pictured above, v dead fish. Full review here.

Nobleman Ryu's Wedding (Korea WeTV) - 12th Night goes BL in this cross dressing historical that ended up feeling like a Cinderfella fairy tale, lightly dramatic and utterly charming. Full review. There is one dead fishy kiss at the end but it's otherwise aggressively pure.

If you like this last style of KBL (with a kiss at the end being okay, I have quite a few more to recommend). Until 2022, most KBLs only had one dead fish kiss in them, so you are pretty safe with pre 2022 KBLs. They tend to be quite chaste and de-sexualized. Other good examples: Wish You, Light on Me.

That's all folx.

Some of the above I may be misremembering (since I don't rewatch this kind of BL and my memory is shit). And I may have forgotten some too, so I hope comments with jump in.

Others to consider:

What makes Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi canon even though there's no vocal confirmation or a kiss on the mouth?

{BECAUSE I NEED MY SANITY AFTER FOLLOWING S2}

First of all, for whoever doesn't know, it's illegal to show gay "sexual practices" in China. As a result, the creators, even if they wanted, they are restrained by laws. It has to be expressed as strong subtext.

First of all, we have the name of the series itself, where "shiguang" means time and is created by taking our boys' names and compounding them into one: Cheng XiaoSHI + Lu GUANG. It's obviously also related to their front shop cover business as photographers, but this is what one would also call this pairing ship.

Secondly, as I've noted in previous post, the posters show them with yin & yang colours. But even the clothes used in the doghua imply their relationship is something more; CXS's bomber jacket combines both yellow/orange (his signature colours from the promos) and blue (LG's signature colour). Doesn't it have the same vibes like a girlfriend wearing her boyfriend's shirt?

Thirdly, in the chibi show, LG is a cat and CXS is a dog. I'm not Chinese, so I'm not 100% sure on this one, but many cultures will associate cats with femme fatales or with female characteristics, while dogs with masculinity as guards. In Japan, that's an actual gay lingo, with neko being the "bottom" partner, not to mention similar manga depictions in BL manga and doujinshi.

Fourthly, we are granted a short where our two protagonists are entangled in red string, while playing string ladder. Red string is a very prominent symbol for fated lovers in East Asia.

Last but not least, can we all acknowledge the "irony" of them being roommates? This has become such a meme, especially withing historical context, that I doubt it's not intended. As for the bunk beds, they're a matter of lack ofspace and money, not to mention the concept of "saving face".

Anything else comes directly from the dialogue or parallel scenes and the characters' interactions. See below.

In ep2, s1, the scene is most likely a reference to Lady and the Trump, where the couple shares a plate of pasta and somehow end up being connected by a single noodle. We don't really see the boys eating, but the arrangement is the same, and CXS even names the dish the "male dormitory's bowl" much like the women had named theirs the "female dormitory's bowl". And the ladies, not married until their early 40s, starting a business together, using ingredients of emotional significance to each other... they are definitely together as an item.

I think this one is pretty straightforward. They almost had a fur baby together.

In another chibi episode, LG and CXS are meant to fight one another as training, and both are unwilling to badmouth each other as a fight starter. Even the immature CXS, who one would guess could be the guy to make a laundry list of complaints, uses his own flaws and secrets to provoke LG. And by the way, two things are revealed: a) CXS basically confessed through a fake account, and b) LG protected CXS, putting the blame for breaking the cups on himself.

I don't know about you, but this sounds so very gay flirting to me.

The personal space these two share is very tight many times, beyond just friends who care for each other or shy people who feel embarrassed by admitting what they like in their "friend".

I don't know that many male friends who would rub against each other in an effort to charm the other into persuassion...

Meneki Neko are actually really popular in China, it's not weird for that to be in Pigsy's at all. They sometimes call it jīnmāo and zhāocáimāo and it is considered good luck. It's origin is from Japan but that is not a mistake on the lmk crew this time, it's just cultural exchange.

fair fair, i've spoken with a mainland Chinese friend and he's said the same to me!

i suppose i'm just more sensitive on these matters due to pan-asianism and orientalism being such a thing in the field of concept art, that even perfectly normal cultural exchange makes me wonder if it was a mistake or a minor display of ignorance.

Season 2 Ramble#10 - The Wind Down

This month my focus was on the slice of life genre, specifically the subgenre called iyashikei, which from Japanese to English roughly translates to healing

Been wanting to do an episode like this for a while now, firstly cause I've read a few before and they fr changed my life, really broadened my horizons on what manga as a storytelling medium has to offer,,, and that runs into the second reason I wanted to do this which is that often times I feel that the animanga community focuses too much on trying to read “heat”.... and even when a slice of life series does get in the limelight it's usually filled with drama of some sort.… so I wanted to bring the focus to/share my findings on the more exceptionally mundane things so to speak, finding peace, joy and contentment in normal day to day life

how this episode goes is:

usually I try to be very detailed with manga info like author, artist, chapter count, etc. but in the spirit of winding down I'm gonna keep it really simple, first up are 5 older reads ranked then after that reads from this month unranked but grouped by similarity. I also free balled the descriptions in the audio and here I'm gonna give very short and probably inaccurate summaries (my bad, it's the wind down ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯)

Lastly, the intended focus was on iyashikei or healing manga but not that many manga reading sites actually have the subgenre listed, it's all categorized as slice of life so some things in this list aren't exactly fully healing manga but they're all slice of life.

ok now getting into it fr

munashiro bonding with Scepter 4 (again), but Adolf decides to pick Kuroh, Neko and Hieda to bond with him

Bonding experiences for everyone! Imagine Munakata decides to invite Shiro on another S4 bonding experience, going for a nice calming day of puzzles (read: life size great wall of China papercraft). Shiro mentions it to Kuroh, who thinks it’s nice that Shiro enjoys spending time with his boyfriend but does worry about Shiro being surrounded by another clan. Neko pipes up that she misses Shiro too and Shiro realizes that he hasn’t really taken his clansmen on any kind of bonding trip before, they go to cute cafes and such from time to time but they haven’t really had a proper bonding experience. He decides it’s time to change that and invites Kuroh, Neko and Hieda to come along with him for bonding.

With the extra people coming along Munakata decides that perhaps a nice trip to the zoo would be enjoyable. The S4 squad are actually a little relieved, like well maybe the presence of the Silver clan will make Captain tone it down. This lasts until they get to the zoo and Munakata suggests having a timed race in front of the Cheetah exhibit, to test their agility and speed. Kuroh wonders if this is allowed at the zoo and Munakata explains that he requested special privileges, which is why the zoo is empty. Meanwhile Neko has tried to climb the fence to say hi to the cheetahs and Hieda has to drag her back. I imagine though that having the Silvers around does make things calmer though, like Munakata is convinced to let everyone go and enjoy their day while he and Shiro walk around with Kuroh, Neko and Hieda, and since Munakata isn’t their King he has to relax and let his men actually have a calming trip. Of course there are still wrinkles, like they come upon Fushimi huddling under a shade tree drinking coffee and Kuroh has to lecture him about proper hydration in the heat, or how Neko keeps turning into a cat to visit all the wild cats and Benzai is quietly enabling her because he wants cute pictures of cats cuddling. Shiro tells Munakata that this was still fun though, it’s like they’re a newly married couple taking their children from previous marriages out on a date with them.

#Munashiro #Talking K #the Silvers also get to enjoy the bonding #they don't get to bond enough #and this way there's now even more bonding chaos

Hello, do you have any info on cats? Our man Horitomo seems to be very fond of them. Oh, and dogs also. Thank you :)

I'm going to break this answer into two parts. Let's start with the cat!

(Image from tofugu.com)

Cats were brought to Japan from China, and were originally a luxury only affordable to the court. In 1602, the law declared that all domestic cats must be released in an attempt to control the rat problem that threatened the silk industry. 

Like many animals in Japanese mythology, cats are said to gain magical abilities when they reach a certain age, becoming bakeneko (“monster/ghost cat). Their power is linked to age and the length of their tail. They gain the ability to speak, walk on their hind legs, shapeshift into a human, and change size. They are not all malevolent, but almost always mischievous. The most powerful form of the bakeneko is the nekomata (“forked cat”) who grows to such a size and level of intelligence that its tail splits in two, and it gains a fearful level of power. Nekomata are hostile to humans, can summon fireballs, control corpses, and prey on animals much larger than them such as boars, dogs, bears and humans. In order to prevent a cat from becoming a nekomata or bakeneko, superstition held that the owner should either cut off the cat’s tail, or kill it before the age of 13. This superstition is also said to have given rise to the popularity of the bobtail cat breed.

The Maneki Neko (“Beckoning Cat” aka Lucky Cat) is a statue often placed in front of places of business. It depicts a cat waving the viewer over to approach it, welcoming customers. The depiction is supposedly from the belief that if a cat washes its face, a visitor will arrive. One folk tale regarding the beckoning cat tells of a man who was resting under a tree during a rainstorm. He sees his cat waving to him, and when he approaches, the tree behind him is struck by lightning, and he is saved. Another story tells of a woman whose cat started violently tugging at her clothes, and could not be removed. An attendant cut off the cat’s head, which flew into the rafters of the house and killed a snake that had been poised to bite the lady. Remorseful for the unjust death of her cat, the lady had a wooden statue of the cat made.

Meneki Neko were originally white, but now come in a variety of colors to invite different types of luck: white for general luck, gold for money, pink for love, red to ward off illness, and black to ward off evil. In modern day, black maneki neko are sometimes used as a charm to ward off stalkers. (sources 1, 2, 3)

Also, for those unaware (I hadn't made the connection until this question) Yakuza tattoo designer Horitomo is also well-known for his series of works called "Monmon Cats"- artwork featuring cats with irezumi. You can see much of his art on his instagram (@horitomo_stateofgrace/@monmoncats) and his website.
