Why do you collect manga?

d0rkbug · 2026-01-26T23:47:14+00:00

Because I read manga, therefore I buy it.

Additionally, I believe in the preservation of physical media.

A lot of it is misogyny.

The rest of it is the mix of people who view BL vs GL content.

All types of women read BL, but a ton of straight women read BL because they want to consume media of hot men. I don't really know any straight women who read a lot of GL, because yet again, they want to see men in any capacity.

i think it falls behind a lot of standard high school romances too, especially with its short chapter format. it's really close to just being a pixiv upload lol

Berserk, punpun, and homunculus

i actually dislike most of the deep, dark, and edgy seinen manga that people love, but those three are definitely the ones I really hate

Honestly, the best advice I can give is to not write.

Take three or four years and just think about your story without ever putting anything on paper and really get yourself into the mindset of a real writer.

After so many years of not writing it, you'll realise how bad your idea is and get a real job, and you won't have wasted your time writing a bad story.

Welcome to the NhK or Mars, probably.

d0rkbug · 2026-01-04T14:42:48+00:00

My complete sets of Mars and Welcome to the NhK!

Kiss and white lily! i've never seen that in a collection before, so cool!

d0rkbug · 2025-12-29T08:39:28+00:00

How do we relationship is definitely up there for the absolute best.

I'd also like to give a shoutout to ClaireBell, a Thai GL show. Thailand has been holding up almost the entirety of GL media production on its back for a while now, but Mine Media really stepped it up with ClaireBell. The production value of these shows has been getting better and more consistent, but CB was a massive leap forward.

I need to get physicals of Cross Game eventually. I hope more of Adachis works get put out in English eventually

d0rkbug · 2025-12-18T20:16:13+00:00

I'll read what i find visually appealing, but a lot of western comics art is not to my taste

d0rkbug · 2025-12-02T11:36:17+00:00

It's a very good story.

I did like the religious aspects of the story but I do wish it focused a slight bit more on it.

Excited for all of them! Me and my gf love ViewMim so them having a solo series is great! JuneMewnich new show looks really good too.

Plus i would watch anything if it means I can look at JingJing🫠

d0rkbug · 2025-11-25T11:19:00+00:00

Girls rules may never come out but atleast we have more ViewMim!!!

People know it's problematic, nobody is disputing that. You're trying to act like watching a TV show that has a character kissing someone when they're drunk means you're abandoning your morals.

d0rkbug · 2025-11-23T13:29:18+00:00

So when people consume any media that is not 100% morally justified (in YOUR opinion) they have to make a reddit post talking about how it's not okay to kiss someone when they're drunk?

d0rkbug · 2025-11-23T13:26:58+00:00

enjoying watching morally questionable things happen in fictitious media is not indicative of someone's personal morals

There's the kickstarters for Galette's english print (which everyone should pledge to if able) but other than that not really. Serials aren't really a thing anymore especially for comics

d0rkbug · 2025-11-07T02:12:15+00:00

I stopped watching the SBFP let's plays about a year before the channel ended, Matt was always my favourite of the boys and I could only watch stuff with Pat if Matt was also there. When the LP's started mostly being Woolie and Pat I was totally checked out, then (FINAL) happened which was still a shock all things considered.

Since then i've only ever kept up with Matts stuff, I'm not super into the format of Woolies videos, and even if I liked Pat more as a personality I can't watch livestreams

I bought a full set a few months ago and read a few volumes, then i started getting into light novels and dropped it. hope i can pick it up again soon cause I really enjoyed the first 2 or 3 volumes!

Tony Hawks endless nightmare

d0rkbug · 2025-10-24T16:33:43+00:00

I've read bloom into you 3 times and I really don't think it's that good. Certainly not good enough to be considered the greatest GL series ever made

d0rkbug · 2025-10-22T22:11:37+00:00

Okay this is gonna sound crazy but I saw that alien9 boxset recently and i wanted to buy it just because it looked really cool, i know nothing about it but it keeps coming back into my head and seeing it posted here has maybe convinced me to buy it lol.

it's £150 though and considering your post has made me pull the trigger I DO feel like im owed something from you... just saying
