Saezuru tori wa habatakanai / Tweetering birds do not fly - the clouds gather, is my introduction to Yaoi/BL. It was intense, and I felt sadness for Domeki and Yashiro. Didn't stop reading/watching this genre since then. Cannot even tell that I enjoy it IRL. Didn't have friends who share the same interest. I'm a closeted fujoshi.
I don’t usually enjoy overly lovey-dovey BLs, but this one is exceptionally well done — the art, the premise, and the pacing are all on point. I honestly think everyone has some degree of bisexuality; it’s part of human nature. It just shows more in some people, while others suppress it because of culture or environment.
This is a really interesting take because I love lovey-dovey BLs and this one was like "meh" for me, I didn't make my heart flutter lmao
It was cute though.
Haha you’re not wrong, your opinion’s totally valid! I’ve just read so many toxic tropes before that this one felt like a breath of fresh air for me. If you’ve got a BL you’d recommend, I’d love to check it out!
Idk if you'll like it because of what you said in your original comment, but I just read Ashita Ai Kamo Shirenai and I loved it!
It was so cute, wholesome and realistic in a positive way
