I love your rant and agree with you 100%. You are a great writer with wonderful ideas. Maybe you should try writing that story. I would definitely read what you described. I am sure that many would, because you are absolutely right. Anime and manga in this genre are truly lacking.
Aw, thank you so much! That's so sweet of you to say. Actually, I am a writer, starting out in the film industry. If I ever manage to reach my goals, I'll definitely do everything I can to start making that stuff more common.
Did you watch or read Banana fish? I think you will like it. But the ending is damn sad tho. Ah, Kings maker too!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yeah, I actually have all of them from when they were still being released from Viz. I hate sad endings, though, so the whole series was ruined for me. It felt so cheap and random to throw in that final scene in the last book. Does Kings Maker have a sad ending too? Part of why I didn't like the ending for No. 6 is that the two of them parting was sad, so people dying is definitely a no go for me, haha.
Same tbh. I loved their relationship but that sad ending...Killed me. I frickin hate sad endings lmao. Kings Maker is still ongoing btw! The first season is completed, second season is still ongoing. I hope you will like it. The story is good and gosshhh! The art is ao beautiful ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
So many things about this series crush my heart. It's one of the VERY few BL anime out there with an actual plot. Of the, like 30 BL yaoi that exist, half are smut, and the rest are just typical straight guys falling in love BS. The handful that have a story and a passionate love with a high stakes premise are all really short, and pretty much all of them have either a downer ending or a bittersweet ending. The closest we ever get otherwise is bromance or hints of shounen ai so as not to scare of the fragile straight boys. I'm so frustrated.
This series has everything I want to see in more anime, but it's short, and the ending is pointlessly sad. I get it, they'll be together one day, but why do they need to part at all? There are so many het series that have happy endings, even when they shouldn't. Het romance almost always works out, and you just don't get this kind of bummer let down.
It's just frustrating. I wouldn't mind it as much if there were more options. I'd love to have some nice variety, but instead all I have are a bunch of sad stories with actual m/m romance, and a bunch of anime where maybe they could sorta like each other but let's make sure there are female counterparts so nothing is too gay.
Whatever. That's my rant. I just really, really wish something like this, only much longer and with an earned happy ending existed. I mean, even BL manga is 90% fluff. It sucks when you're a person who only feels attachment to a romance if the characters are both male, 'cause chances are, you are going to suffer. I feel like nearly every M/M story out there is either mindless porn, shallow romance, or your typical tragic gays. I'm so over it. I just want to be able to watch a beautiful anime with a great story and some boys kissing now and then. I feel like that isn't much to ask. x_x
