I’m also not gonna lie that I am weak to the likes of Carter and the development his character is going through. I’m not gonna lie that I’ve grown very fond of this story and would probably watch these two boys fall in love with each other. This comic was a surprise to me as it isn’t my type of story nor is the art style something I’d fawn over but eventually it becomes as charming as the story of the two boys develop. Carter is horny.” While it’s easy to assume that this story is nothing but screwing around, it actually develops into a nice heartwarming tale of two young boys struggling to find their emotions.

A few pages in and it’s quite a sad tale but I’m still set on reading it! The style’s closer to Amecomi, but I’m not complaining. I open this comic and I am just blown away by the fantastic coloring and art involved with this comic! Why have I not read this before!?! I’ll definitely make up for this mistake right now but this story of “young and rowdy upstarts trying to find their way in life to the jaded, middle aged men trying to keep the pieces together,” definitely has a fan in me. Here are your recommendations (in alphabetical order)! Isn’t that fantastic?īut I’m quite sure outside of here there are many BL webcomics online. Initially a webcomic, Guilt|Pleasure’s efforts eventually gave them enough fan base and chapters to make a volume before it was published by DMP and now published in Japan under Libre’s BeBoy Gold. In These Words was a comic she drew for her doujin circle Guilt|Pleasure. The prize I’m giving away is also from an artist who made a name drawing BL for Suikoden and Devil May Cry, Jo Chen. To pull this list of BL Webcomics, I asked fujojos and fudanshis to give me their recs for a prize! Many gave the same recs which proves that there are those who have made a name out there. If I had money, I’d get these artist to publish in an anthology because they all deserve a shot in getting their stories more available to the public. It’s fantastic how many of these artists are yet unpublished and find the internet as the space for their works. What was once amateur efforts in writing BL have eventually involved in a BL that’s quite mature and very different from Japan’s. In the last few years I’ve become more and more aware of emerging BL artists outside of Japan. The internet has made yaoi accessible and day by day, girls like you and me become aware of their fujoshi goggles. And there are scholars in Japan who study other fujoshi subcultures in the Philippines and even Latin America. There’s a book on Boy’s Love that speaks about Yaoi fans in Indonesia, Germany, Italy, and Chine. One would think that Shounen Ai, Yaoi, Boy’s Love is just a passing fancy among girls but its continued influence not only in Japanese otaku subculture but in the global subculture shows the power of the genre. Can you believe that Boy’s Love comics has been around for more than 40 years?
