glad we all agree that the bj was really out of left field lmao
a kiss really would’ve been enough, i had the feeling this entire chapter that ’aw, the last chapter was so much better’ idk i was hoping for a better resolution TT
Hi, I’m trying to get into writing comics so I’m looking for a one-shot that I can ”copy” the plot of for practice (obv won’t get published anywhere), does anyone have recommendations?
I have a couple limitations and I’m sorry in advance for being so picky, but that’s also why I need help:
- The premise can’t be ”too” Japanese aka something that wouldn’t work in a western setting, such as delinquents or love letter confessions
- Similarly, a plot that hinges on homophobia; it still exists where I live but not in a way that would seriously impact the plot, so it would feel a bit odd if a character was being shunned at his job for being gay (we take workplace discrimination very seriously)
- Preferably not fantasy
- The plot can’t be dependent on sex since I won’t draw it (for now)
- Preferably not a couple that’s already dating, since I want to improve at writing people getting together or who are falling in love
- No incest or non-con or anything like that. And no prostitution!!
I’m willing to sacrifice one or two of these if it’s hard to find something that fits. :’)
The artstyle doesn’t matter since I’ll be drawing in my own style regardless. I only care about plot right now

It's a tragedy so you'll gets lots of practice drawing complex facial expressions >:)
Also just a good story.
I don't think it's too Japanese but sorry if I remembered wrong lol
Good luck and happy art-ing!

it's a coming of age comic, therefore no smut. it's set in usa, and is by an american author so that solves the cultural issue.
it addresses homophobia and homosexuality but in a way that doesn't feel too head on. it's not fantasy either since it's a modern setting without too many fictional elements.
the art style is also easy and not very complex or advanced, so it'll work really well for practicing. good luck!
Oh thank you so much!! I’m actually not from the US so I’ll have to mod it (never been to a ranch never met a military man) but that’s also good practice :-)
Western ”one-shots” are crazy though, that thing is over 200 pages!!!
But it’s a really sweet comic and I’m gonna enjoy reading it + looking at the story structure. Thanks for the rec!! <3333333
Oh my godddd that was beautiful…. Thank you so much, I’m really upset now. It was so good!!!!!! And good practice, ty <33333
Of course! Glad you liked it too :)
Yeah its super long for a oneshot but as you said its well-written! Glad that helped u (=・ω・=)
I’m looking for a BL manga where the MC notices one of his upperclassmen has a crush on another guy, and he tries to help him with his crush, but then eventually falls in love with the guy instead… It was a webtoon and he artstyle was kinda simple. I’ve forgotten what it’s called but I’d love to reread TT
Is it called ‘for your love’
love you mwah thanks a million!!
does the upperclassman is gay? or one of them?
Personally I hated this one, the MC has such a nasty personality and like I get it, you don’t like this guy, but the whole thing about wanting to have power over the uke and to make him submit to humiliate him… It’s not for me. It feels like the uke never ”wins” anything in this and is just kind of made to to along with the seme’s wishes, and like sure, he physically enjoys it and all, but the dynamic really isn’t to my tastes.
Shame because I’m not usually one to turn away a cheesy porno one-shot involving a delinquent character
