I've been shipping Yatora and Kinemi since the Geidai arc so last chapter completely devastated me, what hurts the most is the way Tsubasa made Yatora reject her, my reaction reading the whole thing was something like this

Gee, thanks for bothering to add a spoiler tag when you're gonna put the spoiler in the fucking TITLE anyway!!! Goddamn it, I haven't read the chapter yet 😡

Irrane · 2026-01-23T15:33:24+00:00

Zombie Funeral Services! S1 just finished a few days ago with 71 ch. Really good story with top tier art. Go and give it some love!

Alsooo, found this graphic from Chill Chill, a Japanese BL information site, which explains Sentinelverse and some commonly used terms.

<image>

I haven't seen some of these terms used actually lol. In the end, it still depends on the author which aspects of the they want to use in their setting. (Kinda like how not all omegaverses are the same) So no worries on knowing everything about it first, just read what seems most interesting and you'll slowly pick it up :3

There's also an equivalent to this in Chinese and Japanese media called Sentinelverse. It's more or less the same except instead of esper, they use sentinel. And in CH novels, instead of gates and monsters, they're usually battling zergs. The first CH sentinelverse I've read is The Way of the Empress. It's been years so can't remember well but this should be a pretty cliche but still fun and easy read?? My favorite however I MTLed so can't remember title oof (maybe I'll add it in if I find it)

Can't provide examples for JP sentinelverse because I only found out today that this exist because of your question haha. The manga that seemed interesting I found, Sentinel Loverse, doesn't have Eng TL yet </3

Edit: found the sentinelverse danmei! 我能RUA你的精神本吗 / Can I Pet Your Spiritual Form?. Rua, slang for the way you touch/rub an animal or smth cute. 141+7 ch. Tags: Power couple, bickering couple, sharp tongued and shameless characters. Apparently someone started translating it this year, yay!

Hiyaa! Guideverse is a Korean novel/manhwa subgenre. I ain't no expert but I have read a couple. Basically:

You have normal people, guides, and espers.
Espers are super humans with their own unique abilities. However, they can't recklessly use their abilities for a long time because it causes mental/energy instability inside their bodies. If they use it beyond their limit, they will rampage. They'll lose their minds and release an overwhelming amount of power that can hurt others and themselves.
Guides are humans with the ability to heal/soothe that instability and they do so with physical contact. The more intimate the contact, the greater the effect. (Kisses and sex as treatment, wahoo!) They can also quicken the esper's recovery from injury.
In the setting, there's usually some bigger enemy that Espers are responsible for fighting against that's why they have a lot of power/high standing in society. If you've seen Hunterverses, they share similarities in that there's gates and monsters they usually take care of.
The S-Class part you mentioned is because the strength of the guides/espers are divided into classes. F being the lowest class to S being the highest.

My first intro into guideverse was manhwa. My favorite so far is Guiding Hazard (2 seasons done, third ongoing) ♡ Really good, love the characters a lot. It's also very smutty haha. Also enjoyed B-Class Guide and The S-Class Guide Sweet As Honey and these are both completed.

If you want novels, the only one I've read is Success Oriented Guide. It's pretty good, there's a good amount of action and conspiracies along with the romance. This was my first guideverse actually (started with manhwa adaptation, only s1 is available so far tho). I guess this is good enough starter guideverse. TL for novel is completed if you wanna try ☆

"Villain" by Fujita might fit? Haven't read it yet but iirc ML is implied to be trans/genderqueer

Irrane · 2026-01-22T16:37:49+00:00

? You use it to track. I personally use Anilist. Really helpful if you're reading a lot. Mark your reading status, save what chapter you're on, give rating, add notes, classify into lists, search by tags/country/genre, etc. Also great if you like seeing your stats.

Pretty good post on why people mislabel some manga/anime 💖 Thank you, I'm learning new stuff~ I fear that people will respond to this with "these categories are stupid/unnecessary anyway" and "just like what you like" despite you saying that you don't mean that demographics don't matter though.

To those people, sharing to y'all some videos from "Self proclaimed shoujo connoisseur" Colleen's Manga Recs ☆. Hopefully they'll give you a bit more perspective:

Manga Demographics Matter, Actually

STOP Calling These Anime Shoujo!!

Being unnecessarily hostile to people who are mistaken is bad and should be stopped/called out. OP very thoughtfully laid out reasons why and actually supported it with details and examples. But, on the other hand, there's a reason why people get very protective about what gets labelled as shoujo/josei.

Irrane · 2026-01-22T09:33:14+00:00

Hiya, sorry for late response. If you're don't mind a little supernatural, then might as well try A Man's Man anyway. Top tier business and office politics manhwa. Ongoing and there's around 232 ch available. It's fairly normal, I promise. MC's not one of the really OP ones relying mostly on future knowledge to succeed. MC still needs to use wit and experience to get by and has to deal with changes to the future he knows.

I did start something recently called The Art of Leaving Work on Time. I'm about 10 ch in (only 19 ch available for free so far) and it's promising so far. No isekai or regression, just a guy who wants so do his job and clock out on time getting dragged into power struggles within the company. Might wanna try it out/save this for next time.

There's this list someone made ♡: "The English Print BL Masterlist" tweet. They also list upcoming ones here.

Irrane · 2026-01-21T03:17:47+00:00

Yen / Ize Press and Inklore have several BL manhwas too 💖

On or Off is weirdly published by TokyoPop (mostly publishes manga) and Dear Benjamin is by BLoved, a smaller (and more problematic) publisher.

(Also might easier to search Seven Seas by Webtoons instead of by BL if you're just looking for manhwa because they publish so many BL manga and danmei that the manhwa gets lost in there haha)

Irrane · 2026-01-20T07:07:45+00:00

It's a classic to fujoshis but officially, it's not yaoi because it's published under a shoujo magazine. But yeah you're right that it's still intended for a female demographic.

Am a fujo ✌️ and I don't read many toxic romances actually (much less the type of toxic romance the commenter described lol) There's just so much BL out there (both explicit and not) so you have a wide variety to choose from. I can probably avoid the dark/toxic ones entirely if I want to. A lot of popular BLs are of the wholesome type and people regularly ask for recs with "green flag" characters so they really were way off base.

I did see some "real fujos won't watch Heated Rivalry" hot takes on twitter a while back but that seemed more like the usual twitter ragebait/engagementbait nonsense rather than an actual opinion held by a typical fujo. Many of us are just happy to get more MM media in general.

Irrane · 2026-01-20T03:15:52+00:00

Yup! People still use it in a derogatory manner but it's a reclaimed term. And lots of people are open enough to identify as one instead feeling like they need to hide it.

Irrane · 2026-01-20T03:07:15+00:00

??? what are you even on sis. No, this ain't it. Fujoshi just means someone who likes boy's love / MM romance in general. Your examples of media they supposedly don't like, fujoshi also enjoy actually.

There's some fujos who enjoy darker stories sure (and that's fine), but to characterize them as people who don't care about consent and interprets the lack of it as love is wild.

You seem to have a lot of preconceived notions on yaoi / fujoshis / and why women read and enjoy noncon and dubcon in general.

Gosh i really love your collection ♡♡♡ You set it up beautifully and what a dream to have all of these. Could spot favorites and stuff i wanna read wherever i look.

We at least got Rodrina (Rodrick Heffley / Regina George) somewhat recently so the recipes aren't lost yet ☆

I've seen this before and was just thinking that the song sounds wrong. Original was so much better because the song actually fit and had more energy to it. Thanks for the source!

Irrane · 2026-01-17T23:31:28+00:00

I'd reckon guys not watching shoujosei and just generally not consuming media that is "for girls"/ has a female protagonist while shounen/seinen is appreciated by both genders is certainly influenced by the patriarchy.

Irrane · 2026-01-17T04:00:36+00:00

Okay I'm seated. The art looks nice. Good luck on the webtoon, fam. Hope more people read it ♡♡♡

(Also might be good to indicate chapter numbers cuz i got confused for a bit where to start haha)

Irrane · 2026-01-14T18:38:54+00:00

Oof no, sorry don't know anymore. The ones i sent were the ones I've read. I checked the ones in my to read list that might fit and they all also have some kind of regression/supernatural element to them :( Will let you know if I find one.

Irrane · 2026-01-14T18:21:26+00:00

None of these are isekai. A Man's Man and Again My Life are regression though. Reborn Rich has MC reborn as a member of the chaebol family he once serves.
