6位は『PET契約』。

座裏屋蘭丸先生の初単行本。
短編集なので、連載作品ほどの厚みとは別枠だけど、
恐ろしく美しいアングルや構図の源流を見る感じがある。

ファンなら所有しておきたい一冊。
あなたのNo.1座裏屋蘭丸作品はどれですか？

座裏屋蘭丸先生作品、全部持ってるけど、
リピート順ならこの感じ☟

5位は『シャングリラの鳥』。

娼館設定で、基本はかなり色っぽい。
でも読んでいると、まさかの純愛を見ている気持ちになる。

お互いの気持ちが変わっていく過程がいい。
設定の強さより、感情の変化が残る。

Question for overseas BL fans:
What’s the biggest barrier when trying to read Japanese BL legally?

- language
- payment
- availability
- region locks
- not knowing where to start

I’m a Japanese BL reader, and I want to make gentle guides for international fans.

A BL manga for people who stayed quiet about bad sex.

He's fast. Rough. Goes again and again.
He thinks that's enough.

His partner says: I don't want to break up over this.
He says: over this?

So his partner ties him up. And teaches.

Matenai Inu no Shitsukekata.

A man ran at 100% for over a decade. Then one day, he just stopped. That's not failure.

@srn_gn I've read the manga multiple times — and still, this adaptation got me.

I ended up making a video essay:

@kohei_takeda13 This is exactly the kind of mature story I’ve been craving 😭
The atmosphere alone is overwhelming.
I can’t stop thinking about them.

For years, I avoided BL dramas.
Then I watched one that changed everything.
Some BL dramas I lose myself in completely. Others — I can't watch at all.
The difference isn't acting. It isn't casting.
New essay up. 🔗 in replies.

[1] Why "My Beautiful Man" is a Tragedy of Japanese Education 🦉🇯🇵

As a former teacher, I deep-dive into the brutal "School Caste" system in this romance. Not just a review—it's a cultural archive.

Writing the Story of Maisy Love（メイジー・ラヴを綴って）

Why does something that should end… feel like the beginning?
A straight college boy and the older man who teaches him desire.
A slow, intoxicating pull between denial and craving.
