I think Junjou is still being published in other countries? It was published in the US under a TokyoPop imprint, but when TP shut down in US, so did the imprint :(. And I’ve noticed too that some volumes will be so much more expensive than others in the same series. Crazy!
And no, I didn’t know about Saezuru being released, so thanK you for the heads up! I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Ughh yeah June, 801 Media, and DMP are terrible when it comes to availability and consistency. There are several titles I’ve started and loved, but then the company apparently stops publishing (even though it’s ongoing in Japan). It’s such a disappointment. I pretty much only buy one shots from them now bc I never know if they’ll continue a series or not. The older, out-of-print tiles can be insanely expensive over here too. :(
But yeah, SuBLime has a few upcoming titles that look good. I wish they’d revive some old favorites (so happy they’re doing the Viewfinder series, but I’m still hoping—in vain—that they’ll do Junjou Romantica, and I wish they’d take over Twittering Birds Never Fly from June) but with how scarce BL/yaoi titles seem to be outside of Japan, I’m just hoping they continue to stay in business so that I can get something haha.
Net Comics publishes some Korean BL manhwa if you’re interested and didn’t know. :)
Aww man that sucks that they’re so expensive over there! SuBLime is the only consistent publisher of BLs in the US, and carry a lot of good titles, but I do wish the market was bigger to support releasing more titles (even from different companies).
Also, I just realized that I was thinking of the Seven Days series, which was previously published by one company and then re-licensed by SuBLime, which may somehow be why I got confused? Lmao I really have no idea what I was thinking—too many titles in my head I guess!
Dunno' if you're a fan of Mizushiro Setona's amazing two-volume story "The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese" and…
Yeah I’ll have to check that out! Although I love the two I mentioned, they aren’t my most favorite (I think I was speaking generally since it seems like a lot of BL mangas and novels are being adapted into dramas and films this year haha).
Oh yes, I always support the author and publisher by purchasing print (or digital) copies where they’re available, which is why I listed that info first (I was lucky to get this in print when it was first published in the US—I didn’t know it’s only digital now, so that’s interesting to know!). I wasn’t sure if OP meant scanlation, which is why I put that second and didn’t try to find something to link. ^^
Does anyone know how many episodes? And is it only one character?
According to Lazy Subber, so far there is only one episode but they may make more if the feedback is good, so please watch from official link (posted above). And there is more than one character :)
From Lazy Subber: “It's only a small production house, so please! Watch from the official upload. IF THE FEEDBACK IS GOOD THEY WILL MAKE MORE EPISODES. “
Well ep 2 was almost 2 minutes shorter than ep 1 lolIt's not much but since the eps are so short I feel like 2…
Haha thank you, you as well!
Aww man, you’re right, those two minutes do make a difference! Such a shame; I think Taiwan is on the high end when it comes to BL quality, and this story line is interesting, so it’s a bummer the episodes are so short. Oh well, guess something is better than nothing....
Well it’s been said below but these episodes are way too short! T_T (assuming they’ll all be the same length). It looks promising though so I’m eagerly awaiting the next episode.
I was trying to figure out what BL meant. I just started watching and I kind of see it now. I've never watched…
Soooooo true! I feel like the romance in this and Guardian is already 1000 times better than that in BLs where censorship isn’t an issue, maybe because the writers can’t take advantage of the freedom to put it out in the open and the actors have to portray it more skillfully and meaningful. But just imagine the possibilities. They would definitely reign supreme!

Haha yeah most BLs are a lot more open with the romance between the two leads (probably obvious lol) but for all of its subtlety and censorship, The Untamed is far superior to most BLs I’ve seen.
The announcement being on the page of the Untamed, I will have to remind once again that Untamed is not a 'BL'…
Noooo you did a wonderful job!! There are so many reasons why The Untamed shouldn’t be reduced down to whether it’s BL or not (because that’s just far too simple and does this show a disservice), and I’m so happy to see all of the reasons people are offering!
Can anyone recommend me any good bl dramas? I started getting into them after this Drama. (Please don't recommend…
The History series from Taiwan is really good; I’d recommend starting off with Boundary Crossing and Trapped (stay away from Make Our Days Count if you don’t want a sad ending).
And, as Heart Lyn said, Thailand is pretty much the king of BLs. They’re hit or miss, and can be problematic, but if you check out my watchlist, pretty much all the completed shows from Thailand are BL.
I’d also recommend Guardian, from China. I’d say that one is really similar to the Untamed in how the romance is portrayed—pure and utterly heart melting. The actors did such an amazing job portraying it within the constraints of Chinese censorship.
