One of the most underrated "yaoi" stories ever written! No matter how many times I come back here is always such a delightful and sorrowful experience, from the plot to the artwork everything is unique and beautiful, J is the embodiment of so many people that lived on this world and were mistreated, abused, many and many times killed and forgotten. The words Paul says in the end "Whats wrong with that? Two people in love, do they need a reason to live together?" And I loved how he used "two people" and not "two man" even if Paul called him a tranvestite in the beginning and questioned his own sexuality about being gay or not he never once offended J or neglect his "female" side, is almost like he embrances him completely and this feeling of belonging is, for me, what makes their love abiding. Obviously, J sleeping around can give one the feeling that he didn't "loved" Paul enough but thats false, he can clearly differ sex from feelings and he, since high school, is extremely attached to Paul, he associates him with his father when he was a good man, his father used to be the first man to accept him just like Paul did afterwards. Rita for me is another jewel, such strong and beautiful character, I loved every single bit of her love with J and J seeks in her the mother figure that he "destroyed" Rita also represents sisterhood and gives J ambiguous feelings, shes a masculine woman while hes a feminine man and even tho he feels "superior" for being prettier than her, he also feels "inferior" cause in the end of the day he is a man by "sex". About his gender/sexuality I don't think that is the main message, he/her are J, J is J, a wonderful and fascinating being, call it non binary, trans, woman, gay man, whatever, J never cared much about how people called him/her, all they ever wanted was to be accepted and loved and that message was delivered properly. Look, I could talk about this manga for days but words wouldn't be enough, pls support Nakamura sensei and all of her amazing works! J , like a diamond, is forever <3
I hate people saying "this gives me Harada vibes" no it doesn't, Akabeko is a pretty famous author already that should be recognized in the gruesome/twisted yaoi community, she has tons of disturbing work and if you read them all and also read all Harada works you can differentiate them easily. Also is not just because a Yaoi is disturbing that you need to say "oh reminds me of Harada" every.single.time, imagine if the japanese fans were like this? Gosh I would feel sorry for any author that decides to follow this type of genre. Its cringy how your vanilla ass never went to read any Dj or crazy stuff online and thinks that Harada is the worst this can get, honey you know nothing and it shows
damn baby relax.
Ow lord and here I was by chap 3 "Hmmm I want those kids to be gay too" and author went and did it! But honestly? The main couple was quite boring, not only all that bullshit about "experiment" but is depressing how most stories of straight seme x gay uke it looks like the seme falls in love with having sex first and then comes up with this "oh I wanna know your favorite color now" after being rejected or feeling jealous, like can I have a fucking story where a gay boy who's always being tossed like this by straight men finally mets a gay partner who makes him feel loved and doesn't say stuff like "oh is different from a vagina" in bed? I want a story like this, real LGBTQ stories, yaoi be like "oh we had sex 300x but I dunno if im into you or not " like girl???? Also sometimes seems like they live in a different world, "oh hes gonna put inside? In my ass?" even my grandpa born in the 50s knows how to have gay sex and you want to tell me 90% of japanese boys in 2020 dont know that you use the ass? Smh (︶︿︶)
Honestly, freaking hated the scenario from the get-go. This is so tasteless, I would have preferred much more read your suggestive alternative to this BS that is pretty freaking degrading... (⊙…⊙ )
Then we ask ourselves why the audience is mostly entire made of women, what gay man would like to read bullshit like this? Gay man usually dont even like the "looks" that yaoi characters have, lets start there. I also feel that girls are only "ok" with shitty plots like this cause the patriarchal society already brainwashed us to think that pushy men with half assed excuses are worth it just cause they are "sweet" once in a while, and we have a young audience that makes me worry even more, this is not romantic at all
Ah my dear japanese, you guys know what the people want (▰˘◡˘▰) I looove some piss play and rimming too? Delicious sis, also can we get an extra with the yakuza daddy on some BDSM play? Cant get enough of his cold eyes, come here papi !!
New fujoshi: "so many good shit out there and they go and animate Titans Bride?!"
Me, who used to watch Gravitation and Loveless in ilegal websites with low quality and without subtitles back in 2000: "I hope they don't censor the dicks, I need to see them dicks"
Always waiting for an update, so glad that the Asian audience is fucked in the head like me so I can keep on enjoying this beautiful and unique story
Honestly same
I saw that due to china censorship this chapter was deleted 5 times in the official website, is already the second time that Old Xian has to go through that, it was mainly because of Jian Yi butt and him being naked with Zheng Xi in the final scene, she first tried to cover them with more water but it still got deleted so now if you go to the official site they are wearing grey underwear. She said the next chap was supposed to be of them playing in the water (maybe she even had plains about jokes with them being naked) now maybe she will have to change the next chap, honestly this is so sad, if it wasn't already enough how a lot of animes are queerbait because is "too much" to just admit that they are gay, we have censorship going between boys that are just playing together? Its frustrating how asia still so conservative, like China, as one of the most populated countries in the world I can't begin to imagine the hardships that the asian LGBTQ+ community have to go through
Woah really, poor old xian that's just frustrating and her works are so so light literally no malice at all, China needs to leave people alone for once
As a Chinese person I can tell you my whole family are homophobic, racist and sexist, its really hard to not get triggered by them whenever they start talking bs about them LGBT community, black lives and male dominance.
Yes, this is just so sweet, even if Jian Yi and He Tian might be gay and all is not like straight guys can't go naked in water, native people used to shower together in rivers and no one cared, girls a lot of times in gym shower together but then we have a fuss when it comes to boys, is just sexist and homophobic
I'm italian and my family is not the best as well, especially when it comes to race or black people, far more than homosexuality, sometimes I honestly think that the only way of changing is teaching kids because the older generations are gone, at least with italians they are like stubborn af, my grandpa would rather die than to belive that hes equal to a black guy
I am so sorry you have to go through this because of your own family ☹
I also believe that older generations are gone, specially if they have always been racist/ homophobic/ sexist etc.
Being black myself, I just hope we teach our kids that all lives are the same regardless of colour and sexuality as long as the new generation are taught well, hopefully it should be fine in the future :)
why u told us about the next chapter agh this way i'll dream about seeying them playing in the water for so long waaaaaa; shouldn't she just change where she put those chapters i mean put the chapter the way china wants in the site she is using but us the international fans she just can send us the chapter to put it in the international manga sites where we can post whatever we waaaant hahahahhahahhah
If she decided to start publishing in English then yes, cause the laws different country to country, but she's only publishing 19 days in China, I dont know you guys but at least for me shes missing a huge chance, 19 days was voted as one of the best 100 mangas of all time according to the internet in a poll with more than 160.000 voters and this was a western poll, but who knows the red tape behind publishing a manga so... I think western people should start writing manga too, our censorship is pretty light
If she publishes it in English I think she still has to follow the laws of China because she is a Chinese citizen and it is being published IN China, by a Chinese website right?
Wtf like what about all other manhuas w NSFW?!! why tf is Old Xian of all authors gets disapproved for it (╬￣皿￣)凸
So, last time I checked chinese censorship was for a straight/josei webtoon that the author was facing a hard time to publish it in China, basically she explained that in China there is not only the censorship to publish paper books but also a different and even more strict one when publishing online, when it comes to big companies or finding a website like lezhin (for the koreans) in China they are very like a monopoly already or something like that, she talked about the publishers having access to state-issued book numbers, and if you don’t have a book number, then you cannot distribute through state-run or regular online bookstore so the authors that want to show things like pubic hair (example) they end up having to create their own websites for publishing, which is extremely expensive and even then they still have to deal with the censorship for sexual parts or intercourse. Anyhow, this particular artist ended up having to publish her book in canada if im not mistaken and with help of other editor. Im not gonna say that um exactly sure if Old Xian would still have to follow the law or not, cause I still need to learn more about the matter but maybe if she publishes under the company name? A lot of movies manage to change scenes depending on the country the movie is going to be exhibit.... I dont know, is even more sad that these young artists can't be free to express their art in their own homeland and for their own people
Actually it's not just Old Xian, censorship applies to all medias in China, a lot of chinese webtoon actually become just bromance eventho the intention of BL is pretty clear.. And I think cuz OX posted this for free in Weibo, where all ages can easily access it..
but OX probably got it worse since she is very popular and ofc have more followers, that invites attention for sure..not to mention more followers mean more haters who are ready to report in quick lightning of her every post... I think the author of Day off webtoon also post it on their weibo but that one has lots of gay scenes so idk why that can happen..
Maybe they are being published by smaller groups? We have to remember that Old Xian uses her own Weibo to publish the chapters, as one of the biggest social platforms in China this content can be accessed by many many people, thats why shes always struggling, like now she also build this strong fan base that she would have to start from scratch in other website..? I dont know, but she should give the western publishers a try, the Mospaca Team is way too good to be stuck in a homophobic country like that
100% agree, old xian is like a more special case, sis is famous af she has almost 11 million followers and thats just weibo, I wouldn't be surprised if altogether 19 Days has like 30m+ fans all around the world, still these jealous hoes keep on throwing hate on this masterpiece
I wonder if its women's naked physique or outline showing, will they also censor it? I mean not the nude one but only the outline of it, coz if those are not censored then there's really a discrimination here.
She could try like Taiwan maybe..like Chai Jidan did with her film to avoid censorship..tho that also needs lot of works since OX already has firm base in her own country...
But anyway that's kinda ironic, the fact that she keeps going on strong, updating every week without fail, despite all those haters throwing bs on her all the time, and also still have to struggle with authorities yet she still willingly and steadfastly share her works for free so that us international readers can get our hands on it easily without feeling guilty of illegal translation and all...eventho if she published it as paid works I'm pretty sure there are still tons of ppl willing to buy.. And I've read before that she doesn't give a fuss about t being translated to other languages... And still many haters fretting about how the story is getting nowhere..
WOAH REALLY? THIS IS A FREE SERIES?? LIKE NO ILLEGAL TRANSLATION OR UPLOADING IS HAPPENING RN? LIKE THIZ IS APPROVED BY OX TO BE ON OTHER SITES? WOW. I STAN
Dude thats so interesting and so frustrating!!!!!! Thank you for letting me know this information. <3 I love being educated about these mattersz
As always, such a beautiful and thrilling read, even if they drop the updates I'm so happy with the raws, this was by far the best kidnapping + confinement story, mainly because you can feel true love between them, not only the plot and the couple but Team Killerwhale did an amazing job with the artwork and dialogues, even if I couldn't understand 100% in korean I cried so many times when it got close to the end, I thought the seme would die for real or that they would be arrested, get separated and he would die in the hospital by some freaking old lady with a pillow (the trauma sis!) but im just so satisfied that in the end they managed to begin again, be happy and leave their past and the warehouse behind
can you pls give me the link to the raws? /;-;/
Me: "Yaoi size difference is so cliche..."
