+2!
Seeing Ep 13 after all of this 'dark shit,' I'm like, "Gee, that's all nice and fluffy, but, so what? Where's the plot?" :P

It's just the internet, don't let it faze you. As long as you know that you're being respectful.

I was always under the impression that everyone was of legal age. Young, but not that young.

Ugh, I know they wanted 'masculine' actors for this series, but watching this,

a bunch of straight guys behaving... well... straight, lol, kind of ruined the characters for me. I had to stop watching. I guess it means that these guys are actually decent actors after all. :P :D

Wait... in the beginning of ep 10, was Frame wearing "One Piece" underwear? :D

Thanks, KainGuru! As you can tell, I'm new to Manga in general. I'll put One Piece on my to do list, but I've many other things to catch up on! :D

I totally agree. Yaoi would be a fantastic platform to spread information about LGBTQ issues, if it were not for the traditional market of the genre. Some BLs have done some of that, some purposefully, some not.

I hope the genre continues to evolve. The daily religious, political and societal discrimination we LGBTQ face is a very rich source of _real_ drama, so much more so than the three-ways, or the the girlfriend trying to break up the couple, or the parental rejection I've seen way too much of in my limited BL watching experience. For now, I've just lowered my expectation, and consume BL for what it is-cute boys falling in love with each other. It's escapism for me. Besides, there ARE some good movies that deal with the LGBTQ experience, they're just not BL.

Thanks!

The manga that Wayo reads, "One Piece," is that a real manga?

Hehe, then maybe it's because I'm NOT a fujoshi that I'm enjoying it... :D

From my limited experience, BL/yaoi has never really been about the LGBTQ experience. I agree that it'd be nice if it were more realistic: characters that actually identify as gay or bi (instead of just hand-waving it away with 'love is love'), plots that actually have to do with homophobia, gay bashing or religious discrimination (instead of just worrying about parental or peer approval), sex scenes that are actually more than just holding hands or kisses on the cheek.

The genre is evolving in the decades it's been around, and current BL live-action dramas seem to be trying to bring in more realism, but they're straddling two different genres and that can't please everyone all the time.

Welcome to the internet, where people who like to feel powerful by bringing others down to their level are able to do so in anonymity.

I'd love to see some REAL kissing, and, y'know, sex, like str8 ppl get to do. :D

You're new to BL and Yaoi, aren't'cha? :D

Yea, the whole gun ploy felt cheap, like Nai (and the screenwriter) were desperate. I know I sure as hell wouldn't want to get back with someone after a stunt like that.

You're not the only one. :)

Ultimately, is any kind of drama really necessary? lol. I like where it's going, but you're right, I'll keep watching regardless because of Tee. And Fuse. And Book and Frame, and Yok and Mo, and Rodtang and Nine, and... :D

Many nods to David Lynch. Like Lynch, don't watch this thinking everything will be spelled out for you. You're supposed to wonder "WTF did I just watch." This is one of those movies for people who like to think about things and try to figure things out.

Yea, Fing's fling seems to have disappeared.
