I'd like to see short summaries for these titles

Don't have time to write a summary, but please put Kombini-kun on here.

It would be nice if we could see the names of the publishing companies, since that would make them easier to find at the bookstore. Maybe grouping them by similar themes might be a nice way to go, but don't ask me how to work that...

Also, I can vouch for pretty much everything by Basso/Ono Natsume. Nigeru Otoko is a good one that's not on the list, though it's only really tangentially BL.

>we should probably include:
sorenari ni shinken nandesu
chuchun ga chun
caf latte rhapsody

Also I'm having a hard time remembering a certain manga about a boy who shows no emotion(and his mom too) falls in love(herp derp) with another boy(he's like on the futbol team or something)


>>2681249
As much as I would love that, I wouldn't be able to fit that, but I can always include a link to where to read mangas(mangafox, animea or mangareader(which most "read online manga sites" include summary)), and where to download it(mangatraders), Just like the last list did.

>>2681254
I know the story well, and I think it just has to be put in there.

>>2681257
>It would be nice if we could see the names of the publishing companies
Once again, as much as I would like to include all the info, there would just not be enough room.

>Maybe grouping them by similar themes might be a nice way to go, but don't ask me how to work that...
That I can do, if I know them all, but thats why I posted a thread so people can help put things in order.

>Also, I can vouch for pretty much everything by Basso/Ono Natsume. Nigeru Otoko is a good one that's not on the list, though it's only really tangentially BL.
As long as American companies don't own the rights to it(such as ViZ's SuBLime) I will look into it(and so will others, right?).

>>2681261
>Also I'm having a hard time remembering a certain manga about a boy who shows no emotion(and his mom too) falls in love(herp derp) with another boy(he's like on the futbol team or something)

Bukiyou na Silent by Takanaga Hinako. He's on the baseball team!


And I know this may seem big for a board like us but instead of a recommendation image, why not something like /v/'s recommended games wiki? That way people can change statuses of ongoing, complete etc. and there'd be space for summaries and images and extra info on BL.

That way you can also make it a communal effort!

Again I don't know how appropriate it would be over an image and you could always go to mangaupdates for summaries and covers and all, but it's an idea.

>>2681263
>Bukiyou na Silent by Takanaga Hinako. He's on the baseball team!
Thanks, now must find artist to finish story with death threats...

>why not something like /v/'s recommended games wiki?
Since the board is so small, I feel the wiki would be unused, and with summaries and status it would feel like mangaupdates(like you said)

the users here want a list of referred and recommended BL manga's

Really all we need is some titles, and the people here are pretty smart to go through the list and google the summary and if they like it they read it.
and with a cover of the manga will give people the opportunity to look at the art style(literally judging a book by it's cover)

If other people like your idea, then someone should start up the wikia idea.

>>2681268
The story is complete, but the title's already been licensed...yet I don't see it available in English anywhere.

Seems like it was taken up by some online manga site that only lets NA users access titles.

Wow publishers, way to let me support the author.

a few titles are floating around in the other thread we have for scanlators - >>2646180

>>2681272
>Wow publishers, way to let me support the author

because licensing laws are very very convoluted and the japs are very tightfisted with giving licenses. and different medium have different rules - online, print... and print copies have a very limited run.

solution: if you plan to be a yaoitard for years to come, the best way to support the author is to learn japanese and import titles via kinokuniya, amazon, bk1 or yesasia. provided your country doesn't confiscate it at the customs. derp.

>>2681274

Thank you for the links!

>>2681281
since Jmanga - http://www.mangaupdates.com/publishers.html?id=687 - hates us outsiders and our outside money's no good there, we do what we can. besides, reading it in the language of the master race? glorious. it's pretty easy to pick up since there are all these free online resources. needs time and patience though. and money for manga. i'm going broke.

>>2681263
>why not something like /v/'s recommended games wiki?
I don't think it'd be a bad idea to make a /cm/ centric page on the /a/ recommendation wiki. A couple of our charts are already on there. Someone might have to message whoever's in charge of the site first, though.

>-red tint for incomplete and dropped
>-yellow for ongoing
>-no tint for complete
I think that's kind of unnecessary. Especially since we don't know how often the list will be updated or looked over. I don't even think the chart in the OP post is over two years old yet. There could be a tinted frame around the pictures for titles that have english translations or ones that are not translated, would that be better?

Having a cover picture or panels of the manga is a really good idea though, and it'd also be a nice touch if there's a "last updated on ____" somewhere on the page. I also like how on the /a/ manga recommendation pages they list a couple words under each manga that describe them a little.

>>2681551
>/cm/ centric page on the /a/ recommendation wiki
can I get a link to that, can't seem to find it anywhere.

>. There could be a tinted frame around the pictures for titles that have English translations or ones that are not translated.
I thought we were only going to use English scanlations.

>Dat Rec list
It's beautiful

>I also like how on the /a/ manga recommendation pages they list a couple words under each manga that describe them a little.
I liked that too, that's a great idea.

>it'd also be a nice touch if there's a "last updated on ____"
but wouldn't it be pointless if the list is never updated(as you said)?

I'm going to be Frank, anytime a manga gets completed or dropped, I have 99.9% confidence rate that a /cm/ster(ess) or myself will update the list(if we do go with a list instead of a wiki, that is) as I will include a .psd file when it is finished so anyone can update.
>>2681551
>>2681263
This wikia is sounding better and better, but I am having doubts about it as:
1. The board is small
2. This list is a quick fix for when people are looking for a BL read and someone can just upload the image.
3. I have been with /a/ for quite awhile and this is the first I have heard about a Rec wiki, will others on this board know about our /cm/ section?

Where is Love Mode?

I know its kind of old, but it has a great story and characters.
Its very well written and it really separate itself from the rest of BL manga.

One of my all time favorites.

>>2681687
>can I get a link to that
http://animu-mango.wikia.com/wiki//a/_Wiki

Seems it's still active, there's also another Wiki called "The Recommendation Wiki" that's similar with more variety of pages (books, visual novels, anime, videogames ect) but it's a bit of a mess. Out of all the board wikis (/a/, /v/, /lit/) I think /v/ is the most updated and has the best layout.

>I thought we were only going to use English scanlations
I'm okay with that.

I wouldn't mind if /cm/ had a Wiki, but I don't think we have enough content. Plus doing all the page layouts and stuff could take a while. One /cm/-centric page on the /a/ wiki would be good for listing manga titles.

>>2681692
>Where is "Love Mode"?
I'm not one for liking older material, but I'll give it a shot. Anyone else enjoy this manga?


>>2681954
The /a/ wiki is clean, but I don't think they would appreciate us adding a rec list page.
As for the rec wiki, it's crap look and future plans to switch to but seems more appropriate to have a /cm/ section.

>but I don't think we have enough content.
Thats why I think the wiki might overall be a waste of effort.

I'm all for telling others about what /cm/'s favorite BL's are but I don't think a wiki is a way to go.

For the mean time let's keep a list going while we keep a wiki rec page in mind.

Original chart maker here!

I made this chart sort of out of an olllldd /cm/ BL manga recommendation thread, and at the time I was planning on including covers and listing genres after each title, but this proved to be a little too tedious and time consuming for me, so I ended up with a sort of shoddy one that basically accomplished what it needed to, which was a BL recommendation list image.

But it's always nice to see it circulating around because most of these titles still stand true. There might be a few I'd get rid of, but that might only be hindsight/personal preference.

This list also suffers from personal bias, so you might also notice I didn't include things that were already popular or I didn't like very much. See: shungiku nakamura, yamane ayano, takanaga hinako (bukiyou no silent is okay, but tyrant is not my favourite...).

So, things we could have:
Manga cover images
Genre
rating(pg, R, etc)

And yeah, I think sticking to what is available in english is best. You could always create a separate list for those that remain untranslated, or tack it on there at the end, or simply include them but put a note beside them?

But honestly since the time of making this, scanlations have been very dead, so there shouldn't be too many more titles to add, even if it feels "old". I know there are many new titles out, but they haven't been translated at all. It's really depressing. Even most of the stuff DMP is releasing right now has already been scanlated/is popular in english already/ is simply something sparkly they think would sell well.

>>2682171
>There might be a few I'd get rid of, but that might only be hindsight/personal preference.
Include what you think we should get rid of, and let the others decide on it.

>scanlations have been very dead,
I guess you can say that, but there have been a few over the BL scanlation drought that have been a magic to read.
And hopefully with SuBLime rolling in ViZ can do some good for the BL community.

>So, things we could have:
Manga cover images
Genre
rating(pg, R, etc)
Seems like a plan

Also what is "the craft"?
Seems good.

bumpan and will start working on the list tomorrow(tonight I will go through all the mangas to get the genres, cover page and age rating) and also choosing one manga from an artist on the list to cut down.

If you see an artist with multiple mangas(on the list), tell which one you would like to keep. I will try to fit about 60 with title, cover, artist name, genre, age rating.

If you have any other rec's, just post it, with what genre it is and summary if you have the time(Looking for more angst/drama to balance out the comedy, but if it's a good comedy BL then post it, you can never have too many).

Will be adding:
sorenari ni shinken nandesu
chuchun ga chun
caf latte rhapsody
Bukiyou na Silent
Love Mode

Sorry, taking longer than expected since I just started. Will be done no later than Wednesday 23:58 EST.

Any last minute BL mangas you want on the list?

>>2686512
I have some more i want to add but I need to go through my list first. Will do that later tonight/tomorrow morning.

Is volume 1 of Seven Days completely out of print? I can't find it to buy anywhere (translated).

>>2686519
I found one, it cost 900 USD for a used copy.

So I would say it's out of print and very hard and expensive to get a copy.

They do however have a kindle edition(no point though)

>>2686517
Go ahead and take your time, I'm gathering genres and covers, probably won't start making the list until my next free night(Tuesday).

>>2686519
It's been out of print for a while, I'd like to get a copy too but I'm just wishing on it getting republished.

Second volume came out pretty recently though.

>>2686522
I know ;_; I bought it and got it two weeks ago. So pretty.
I need volume 1.

>>2686520
Whaaat. Just a few weeks ago the lowest on Amazon was 100, now it's 900?
Fuckthatshit

>>2686520
seriously. if they can't even print enough copies, why license the damn thing. same story with all the never-to-be printed DMGuild licenses. i'm for free scanlations and buying raws to collect and support artists.

>>2686519
lol. i tried to find one. $40 or sth. got the two books in raw ($13~ each) but read the scanlations online years ago.

to add to list:
Hideyoshico: Ikemen-kun to Sanae-kun, Negative-kun to Positive-kun
Tagura Tohru: Cello Mellow, Dear Brother
Ogura Muku: Castle Mango, Mizuiro to Pinku, Sore kara Daidai, Sentimental Garden Lover
Kujuu Siam: Jigoku Meguri
Shimotsuki Kairi: Kimi wo Mukaeni
Moto Haruhira: Hug Kiss Akushu, Byousoku Zero Mile, Sagatte Omachi Kudasai, Amai Kimi ga Suki
Hino Garasu: Seinen wa Ai o Kou

>>2686524
Can you pick one title for each artist/author. I have to keep to a certain amount.

Also whats better? Chuchun ga Chun(baseball pitcher blackmails new student into staying at school) or Honto Yajuu(policeman and yakuza member fall in love). I'm having a hard time deciding on a Yamamoto Kotetsuko

>>2686528
oh.. thought it would look like op's list - it had multiple titles.

Hideyoshico: Negative-kun to Positive-kun
Tagura Tohru: Cello Mellow
Ogura Muku: Mizuiro to Pinku, Sore kara Daidai - it's a long title
Kujuu Siam: Jigoku Meguri
Shimotsuki Kairi: Kimi wo Mukaeni
Moto Haruhira: Hug Kiss Akushu
Hino Garasu: Seinen wa Ai o Kou

>>2686528
liked Ano Hi no Kimi wo Dakishimeta nara the best out of all her titles... but Honto Yajuu is better among the two and unlicensed. unlike chuchun.

>>2686524
If you've read scanlations and can't find an english copy you might as well just buy the raws, I've done that a couple times too.

The first German volume of Seven Days is only around $15 on Abebooks, I didn't even see a copy of the english version on there. Tokyopop's still kicking in Germany so I guess they still have a decent number of copies left.

Also OP do you just want BL recommendations or is that kind of like a blanket term that also covers more graphic/yaoi series?

>>2686531
I was going to add a cover like >>2681551
so the dillema is keeping it under a specific amount(about 60) so the image doesn't get to big and doesn't go beyond the 3072 KB.

>>2686533
I'll go with Ano Hi since it has more ratings on manga updates then.

>>2686537
It's a /cm/ rec list, a few pages of smex scenes is pushing it but fine, but no yaoi mangas please.

>>2686541
eh? it's just going to be shounen-ai? quite a lot of OP's recs will go out though lol.

>>2686545
Like?
I've been spending a few hours reading a chapter of what I don't know and then skimming around to see if it's within /cm/ guidelines.

I know Rules is on the fence but I can't think of any else.

>>2686550
i personally don't like that idea of "a few pages of smex scenes is pushing it but fine" or keeping it within the /cm/... a BL chart with yaoi (explicit) and shounen-ai (non-explicit) titles mixed together would be better for folks to find new authors. what you're doing goes against the OP chart and makes it an entirely new beast. maybe you wanna split it into two different charts:

- yaoi (that can branch into hard yaoi or just normal ones...)
- shounen-ai (to be very strictly within /cm/'s standards: no dicks at all).

eh.

>>2686564
I have yet to see a manga with any dicks in it that was on the chart, the sex scenes without any gentiles are fine(even a whited out one is fine) but I haven't seen any full on hard yaoi and I'm the last 6 for the list before adding in the others.

Point me to a manga with the hard yaoi

>>2686573
a manga can be hard yaoi even with whited out dicks... if you want a /cm/ only list, it mustn't have most of the OP titles - no sex scenes what so ever - like Seven Days or Aitsu no Daihonmei.

crossed out the ones i do remember as having some kind of non-/cm/ scene.

>>2686573
I guess you meant hard yaoi that contained more...full on scenarios? Say bondage etc.?

As for just "yaoi", heaps on that chart. Everything by Neokta Yonezou for example.

We always include yaoi titles.

I think we can sort it to three categories, shounen-ai, yaoi and hard yaoi, where hard yaoi would contain more trigger-some content.

>>2686591
exactly what i was thinking. OP thinks zion no kaeda isn't hard yaoi, with it's enema, raep and bondage. lol.

>>2686541
All right, just making sure. I didn't want to throw in a title suggestion like Coppernicus or Vibrator Company and make some poor anon's eyes bleed.

On the other hand, the old list already has all the other BL titles I've suggested before, so I guess I'm all out! Unless Patalliro and From Eroica With Love are considered BL, though I think they fall more under the comedy category before it.

>>2686581
>>2686589
>>2686591
I see your points. And let's come to a reasonable agreement here. using
>>2686591
idea.

We include all of it, and whatever >>2686581 wanted to add. But I need some help with rating. So do what
>>2686589
did and mark them in red for hard(IE maiden Rose, Endless World,) and another color for slight sexual scenes(IE complex). then I will add ratings with their genre to the final list.

But lets keep it so its not over the top at least.
>>2686592
zion no kaeda
>>2686593
>Coppernicus or Vibrator Company
lets save that for /y/'s list

Can we agree on that? If not lets keep throwing ideas around. That's why the thread was made, I didn't want to make /cm/sters /cm/ req list, this our rec list.
>>2686581
>no gentiles
>hush now we're not anti-semites.
I saw what you did there

Wow, I guess it comes down to different taste but I totally disagree with some of those choices.
IMO Fujiyama Hyouta's best work is Junjou, Yamada Yugi's best is Yume wo Miru Hima Mo Nai (ok actually I like all her works equally), Suzuki Tsuta's is Boku no Shiru Anata no Hanashi, Yoshinaga Fumi's is Gerard et Jacques, Nakamura Asumiko's is J no Subete, and Yamashita Tomoko's is Kuimonodokoro Akira
Also, why aren't there any Nishida Higashi works there? Kage Aru Tokoro Ni and Tenshi no Uta are superb BL mangas.

ya know. I don't really want a shiny list that looks like the other boards' charts. Just more titles and mangaka. Picking one title per author - some people like certain titles but violently hate other stuff by someone. Then there are the stories with a different artist and a different author. I'm for just an edit of op's list. Up to reader to look it up on google...

Original chart maker here again, here i go:

>>2686528
Honestly Honto Yajuu is my favourite. I actually dislike Ano Hi altogether (it's too melodramatic for me and I don't really like any of the characters). For Chun Chun i can't get it out of my head that it's not some sort of Oofuri doujin.

>>2686541
This chart should be a mix of both shounen ai and yaoi. That's what the rating system is for. If people want to avoid sex, it can state clearly what has it and what doesn't. (Which is what I suggested before...)

>>2686589
Oh man, when I first opened this list without reading the comment I interpreted as "GET RID OF THESE" and I was like OHSHITWH-... But yeah, a lot of these titles do have sex in them. It would be ridiculous not to include them.

- Agreeing with adding Nishida Higashi's works.
- Hideyoshiko's too.
- Heard Ogura Muku's Castle mango was really good but i haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
- Also not sure if Lies Are a Gentleman's Manners - Marta Matsuo has been suggested but it should be on there.
- Also Takarai Rihito - Hana no Mizo Shiru...
- Stuff by Minazuki Akira.
- Yuma Satoru - Count 0.
- Also Kusama Sakae is listed already but I'm not sure if those are her best works. Better suggestions anyone?
- NightS by Yoneda Kou instead of Don't Stay Gold (If it were up to me I would list everything by her, but yeah)
- Maybe Boku no shiru.. or Merry Checker by Suzuki Tsuta instead of Hand Which.
- Works by Junko, Aniya Yuiji.

Also suggestion: post the list of titles here on /cm/ before you go out and make the chart. Then we can finalize, together what should and shouldn't be on the list.

Guys.
Guys.
I've got an idea.
What if
Okay I know you'll think I'm crazy
Okay
What if people have different taste and the majority of us like men all over each other anyway?
Please don't kill me

>>2686606
>why aren't there any Nishida Higashi works there?
choose the best and I'll add it.

The most important part is new authors/artist, more authors on the list which will have the list viewers searching their other work. So more artist/authors> more titles.

>>2686608
People actually choose a book by it's cover, so if we include a cover that catches an anon's eye, then we sunk them into reading it.

I will agree that list was much better for adding a fuckton of mangas, but people don't want to go through a list to copy paste into google and look at the manga description to get a genre they weren't looking for, with an art style they don't like.

It comes down to a quality vs quantity sort of approach.

>>2686609
>Honto Yajuu
I love it too

>Ano Hi
was going to read it eventually


>it's not some sort of Oofuri doujin.
the whole time reading it I could only see mihashi( he makes the same shape with his mouth too) and abe.

>>2686609

>long text you are saying

>post the list of titles here on /cm/ before you go out and make the chart.
I'm almost through with the list(choosing one, gathering genre and cover) and then I will post them. Give me about 5 to finish up.


>>2686610
StoplikingwhatIdon'tlike

I understand this, that's why a list will never be unbiased, but I'm, we are trying to make it as fair and down the middle as possible

>>2686610
The idea is to help you find more men being all over each other. It's now like going over what is one mangaka's one best work - opinions everywhere.

>>2686611
Probably Nishida Higashi - Tenshi no Uta

Hmm, I wonder since you are only choosing one, you could put other suggestions by that Mangaka underneath? Just in text form? Because for a lot of these I love a lot of these mangaka's titles.

> wish we could of got this contribution sooner
Welp I was busy with other projects and too lazy to sift through my downloads/BL mishmash folder.

Mangaka on the old list who I do not have the burning need to include (if you wanted to add some that i just suggested):
- Fujitani Youko (I find her works bland).
- Halco (it's cute but not immediately memorable).
- Tojitsuki Hajime (meh)

My opinions, etc.

What I got so far,

http://www.mediafire.com/?yaqk5vh1rp5wz3r

>>2686609
>Kusama Sakae
I think Macchi Uri's a good indication of her work. Dunno which it would replace though since I like all three ;_;

>Honto Yajuu
I agree with this one completely. I know Ano Hi had more ratings, but Honto Yajuu was more enjoyable.

>Tsuta
I like all Tsuta stuff, but I want to suggest Konoyo Ibun. OP could probably put it in as an afternote since we keep adding so many titles.
And anything Zaou Taishi and/or Eiki Eiki?
Love Stage is relatively new, but Living for Tomorrow was also really good.

>>2686617
I forgot to add Kobini Kun btw

off to bed now, I will add more tomorrow evening so I will review eveyones.

Also review my .txt list if you want to know what I'm adding so far.

>>2686618
Love stage is good so fat,haven't heard of Living for Tomorrow., I will check a synopsis tomorrow

>>2686619
I meant "so far"

>>2686617
WARNING for More Opinions (also, previous post( >>2686616 ) still applying so i'm not going to repeat myself):

>Hanawa Sakuka - Hidaka Shoko
It pains me not to include Yuuutsu na Asa and Arashi no Ato... (both that I like better than Hana wa Sakuka)

>No Color - Natsume Isaku
Again, pain not to include Doushiyoumo Nai Karedo

>Love Mode - Shimizu Yuki
I haven't read this but it looks and sounds pretty generic. Although a lot of people seem to like Ze by this mangaka, I also found it to be kinda meh (what I bothered to read)

>Non Tea Room - Shoowa
Koujitsusei no Tobira instead.

>Nanahikari - Takaguchi Satosumi
I think I like Sakende Yaruze a little bit better...

>Bukiyou na Silent - Takanaga Hinako
This is already pretty damn popular, but I guess that's the same case for maiden rose.

>Ano Hi no Kimi wo Dakishimeta nara - Yamamoto Kotetsuko
Honto Yajuu.

>Otona Keikenchi - Younezou Nekota
Otona Keikenchi is pretty popular, but Michiru Heya is my favourite work by her.

You did not include Yoneda Kou and I find this blasphemous.

Other than having fewer titles this list is hardly different from my old list... Please consult my post here (>>2686609). And okay, I see now this is only a work in progress.

>>2686618
Okay, I like Macchi Uri as well.
>Konoyo
Sangen Tonari Tooi hito is my favourite title by her so I am okay with the list's selection...

Of the authors not there, I would include:
Koshino - Tonarino
Nishida Higashi - Kagearu Tokoro ni, Love Life, or Tenshi no Uta (couldn't choose...)
Motoni Modoru - Dog Style
Inoue Satou - Kozure Ookami

I understand the sentiment but Banana Fish isn't a BL manga. Neither is Antique Bakery. I think it's a disservice to them to include them.

＞- Tojitsuki Hajime (meh)
I think Tsurezure is much better than Shiro Neko

>>2686694
tonari no and tsurezure are not translated in english... thought we were sticking to reccing english translated manga. though i know someone's scanning tonari no but is keeping quiet for now.

Bump for interest.

I like reading about grown men turning gay, I've read everything on OPs list.
Any recommendations aside from those?

>Love Mode - Shimizu Yuki
I haven't read Ze and Love mode I have read a few chapters. It's good, and it's good for showing off the older style of art, and the BL of the late 90's. I say we keep it, unless anyone has another option for this mangaka.

Let's play it even and go with Otona Keikenchi, but Michiro Heya does sound exciting.

So it's essentially a club I have to join,do I have to get a certain amount of comments, or something in order for me to get access?

If I just have the sign-up for the cancer journal account, then mwahahaha.

No, but they shouldn't keep these to themselves, it's the internet after all.

>>2687010
>Actually can anyone name any BL where one of the pairing is a single father?
Off the top of my head, Beautiful Life by Moto Haruko.

Takaga Koi daro by Yamada Yugi.

Sorenari ni Shinken nandesu by Asou Kai.

One of Suzuki Tsuta's oneshots in Boku something something

If you want two single fathers, there's Ikumen After or Two Wolves and Their Sons.

There's probably heaps more but I can't remember titles for those.

>>2687011
Eh, they're not demanding. All they want is for you to join and comment every once in a while, and they do a pretty good job.

They accepted my empty LJ account (over 18 but that's self explanatory) so it's worth a try.

>>2687011
they don't like pageview profiteering companies like mangafox and the like, yes. You kinda need to have an LJ account to join them. are you very new to yaoi or scanlations? You don't seem to understand how the fujoshi work on LJ and forums... Miab is one of the cooler, quality scanlation groups that accept new journals. Unlike some group that routinely delete members who're not active, people who piss them off, then throw a bitchfit and close/delete their journals if things get spread or if another group steals their projects, don't let new journals join... if you don't want to jump through the hoops, just ignore the title and put down ikemenkun.

But realise you're dealing with (fujoshi) women. They like to close things, keep it exclusive, hoard, are suspicious, paranoid and can get down right malicious and nasty - most forums and groups track your IP lol. Be careful.

minazuki akira - tonight is take out night

For Aniya Yuiji I really, really like Comedy Evolves by Love. Me o Tojite 3-Byou seems great too but because it's not completely translated I feel like I can't judge it yet.

I love Matsumoto Miecohouse's art but only a couple of chapters of one of her manga have been scanlated, too bad because I liked it a lot!

>>2687012
Making a LJ is like opening up a reddit account.

thanks for the titles

>>2687014
I'm not new to yaoi scanlations, I just stay away from the weeaboo, moeblob, fujiyoshi parts of the internet(except here where you get the occasional tumblrfag(4chumblr treaty, I don't hate them as much as I use to) on here and elitest weeaboo on /a/, I don't want to see what /cgl/ holds within their board).

>>2687064
Not sure if accurate analogy, but you'd miss out on a lot without one.

I keep that empty journal handy to follow scanlation groups.

Some of them are a bit finicky with membership, but a fair few (e.g. Moon in a Box) are pretty cool.


And the handiest LJ for every BL reader:
http://yuuri21.livejournal.com/

>>2687064
join or not.. no one really cares if you read it or not. if you do decide to join, give groups a few days to approve you. you signed up for that faggotry.

Was this rec image from that thread I vaguely remember that began by complaining about yaoi stereotypes (rape, "drama" etc) and went on to become a huge recommendation thread for (at the time) relatively unknown series that weren't the usual cliche?

Might've missed them but, Shimaji (Neko no Koi) is a solid rec. Akiba Touko (Zantei Koibito, Sono Koi ni wa Wake ga Aru) is a personal favourite of mine with her cute stories. Songs of Self Abuse is a must.

>>2687066
You are making it sound really cool to join, but I must hold my post.

>>2687069
You're right. People have to make their choice for joining in the diseased filled place for what they love, or be a stubborn mule without translated manga to read.

>>2687089
No, cliches are always welcome.

>Shimaji (Neko no Koi)
I read the first chapter...seems meh(and that falling into the other persons arms cliche is the only I hate), anyone else like this a lot(and think its list material?)

>Akiba Touko (Zantei Koibito, Sono Koi ni wa Wake ga Aru)
A lot of people haven't read this, and the people have are calling this sub-par and even bad.

>Songs of Self Abuse
baka updates says its bad, but if some others say it's good, then who am I to say it can't be added?

>>2687150
I'm amused that you are opposed to joining LJ. It's literally the best source for english BL manga scanlations. And I also agree MIAB is the best scanlator going right now.

>Arashi no Ato sounds very interesting, do you have to read Signal(the apparent prequel to read?)
No you don't, I don't even think Signal is relevant at all.

Also the Yoneda Kou title on the list should be Doushitemo Furetakunai. You pretty much need to go read this (and everything else by her) right now.

And I've read Songs of Self Abuse, and it was certainly memorable (more than I can say for 90% of BL) but definitely not for everybody... If you include if you might want to put warnings on it.

>>2687162

>I don't even think Signal is relevant at all.
Good

>Yoneda Kou
You want Doushitemo Furetakunai
Was Kanjou Spectrum any good?

>Songs of Self Abuse
Let's see if more people have read it, keeping this in mind.

(Unimportant stuff)
>I'm amused that you are opposed to joining LJ.
I don't want to get into that type of community, I don't like the people it's filled with(no offense to the livejournalfags out there).
Anything that involves having to comment and talk with others about the manga is ridiculous, I'm not a housewife who attends book clubs or a teenager that tries to to assimilate the BL we read to real life relationships. I just want to read the manga.

(Crazy talk)
{Here it's great, I could be calling your opinions on a certain subject stupid and call you a faggot, and then another thread, I could be having a same talk with you for weeks and agree with you and call you a pretty cool guy(gal), and no one would know, hell we could be the only two on here and I have 7 different names and be arguing with myself just so you wouldn't think so. Right now this thread could of been only me talking to myself and I'm replying to myself. For the past 2 weeks}

The point is, I don't have to talk to people or contribute to get images or recs for manga, everyone puts in whatever they want to without any form of compensation(unless you want more pictures).
And it's been working out fine since this fine board has been established.


I do commend yaoihaven.wetpaint.com (18+) for their ability to sign up or not, I could comment, or not and still get to read and look at what I want without it being a "secret club",

I remember liking Kanjou but not as much as Doushitemo.

I submit 'U don't know me' by Na Yeri to the list. It's a shame that 'The Cornered Mouse' series is not released in English (I got my copy of it and the sequel in Japan).

>>2687064
>I just stay away from the weeaboo, moeblob,
fujiyoshi parts of the internet
Whoa where do you actually go when you read yaoi then.

>>2686616
You didn't like Aishiteru? [spoiler]I personally loved it ;_;[/spoiler]

>>2687175
well most yaoi translators are 30 to 50 year old housewives with college age kids who go 'kyaaaa!? Kawaii!! watashi was doing the dishes for the family dinner desu *_*.' a few months ago, the owner of attractive fascinate - actually went around asking commenters what AF work they liked. When people said they had saved it in their HD, she was like 'you must have time for bl if you wanna be in dis club. How come you don't spend 20 minutes in 2 months to read BL? No cake for you!!'. I've been denied entries to groups because I wasn't active enough. And i've seen people kicked out because they expressed some contrary opinion. Can't name too many names but a closed group is as good as a dead group. if you think LJ is bad, I suggest you never go to twitter or tumblr - that's where the official english licensing hambeasts or the 'I only buy and read japjap books' gather to talk about their gay cartoon cp while bashing rape and being edgy lesbians. Not to mention the snitches who inform publishers of scanlations. Being a fujoshit is suffering when you just wanna read the damn thing and look for new titles. some golden eggs but you gotta wade through all the shit to get it. Few years ago, this was a quiet hobby but it's filled with so many 14 year olds and 40 year olds trying to relive their youth. I bet some tumblebeast is gonna get her panties in a bunch about 'teh mean ppl on 4chan Omg' and make a long blog post. Lol. If you ask me, learn japanese. So many good titles are now being licensed 'for digital only' releases - will not leak out and no one will translate. just go look at managupdates' DMGuild page. all dem kawaii titles. Neko no koi is a popular title that many people like. Can't exclude it just because you found it meh. Songs of self abuse - maybe too realistic. not for newfriends.

>>2687234
Probably mangafox or animea. They aren't getting most new things. Just archiving dead groups. Kinda sad.

>>2687234
any online manga site(animea, mangafox) and whatever /cm/ rec's I'll read.

>>2687232
I'll read into U Don't Know Me

>>2687245
>well most yaoi translators are 30 to 50 year old housewives
No wonder they like bookclubs, also what you say reminds me of this...

>if you think LJ is bad, I suggest you never go to twitter or tumblr
Oh god tumblr is the center of faggotry, as for twitter I don't bother

>Can't name too many names but a closed group is as good as a dead group.
Why can't you name names, are they watching?( i actually dont want to know)

>Not to mention the snitches who inform publishers of scanlations.
I don't understand...

>Few years ago, this was a quiet hobby but it's filled with so many 14 year olds and 40 year olds trying to relive their youth.
It still is a quiet hobby, you just have to stay away from the disease which spreads through the internet.

>I bet some tumblebeast is gonna get her panties in a bunch about 'teh mean ppl on 4chan Omg' and make a long blog post.
This would make my day, 4chumblr or not, I dislike the existence of some of their users, I admit they have good /cm/ related images
(i know this because a few /cm/stresses have image names with the the tumblr in the name(i don't mind it) which they upload here.).

>learn japanese
The weeaboo's I hang out with try to learn it, they say it's tough, and I rather do something else with my time then learn 4 set of symbols and remembering all that jazz to read raw manga.

>DMGuild
Trying to cash in on translation. Damn you, corporations

>Neko no koi
Get more support

>Songs of Self Abuse
I'll add it.

>>2687150
Aha don't worry it's not a case of joining LJ being cool. I don't even talk to any on mine, I just say give my Thanks since it's the least I can do.

Just a whole lot of BL scanlations that would otherwise go unnoticed if you sticked to online readers. I completely understand where you're coming from though.


And seconding Doushitemo Furetakunai for Yoneda Kou. If you had to read one, it'd have to be that one.

>>2687292
Yes, they're watching. There are a lot of tumblr and LJ fags who will report /cm/ and /y/'s goings on to their 'people'. Then the LJs will go on an internal hunt to see who released them or close their group. Though this is usually done if they see releases on mangaups or manga dumps/links here.

Snitches - people who email the publishers or @tweet them when they see a translation.

Corporations - eh. eagerly waiting for them to die. though no one will pick up any of their titles even if they do.

Learning 3 sets of alphabet - agreed. complete waste of time in most cases. Unless you like the stories and stuff, no point.

You might wanna read koi no chime - by shimaji.

>>2687307
Nah I thought it had something to do with those mangasharing sites, like mangatraders and stuff.

Thing is closing everything off like AF did just encourages sharing on other sites so it's kinda dumb.

You really can't prevent sharing though. I prefer those policies where they make you keep the credits page or wait a few days before posting them up.

Or keep their groups open so I can link my friends to them without having them make an LJ.

>>2687307
At one point, fantasy shrine was circulating different versions of a tank so they'd know who uploaded it to MT. some groups went to IRC just to make it harder for folks to take.

some close or make entry hard because attention whores and elitistfags. And you need to suck up to their rants if you wanna stay in or be in their highness' good favour.

most closed because they got C&Ds from publishers - 2010 was when the 11s caught on to illegally distributing their property. Some go to jail for uploading manga vols. If you read ANN once in a while. I didn't mind AF Closing. Did mind forgotten gem box.

lol koi no chime! Now go read all the tojitsuki hajime oneshots you can find. Especially the one with that french title with 'science' or sth in its name. Oneshots fit my gnat like attention span and make me happily float on air the whole day. When i'm not being a bitter faggot (geoffmylawn.jpg).

If you DO decide to join LJ, make sure you are not a member of ci_yaoi. it's a group that takes unshareable works and shares them - mostly just old AF titles. some groups asked them to take down their titles but they refused. So bad blood.

Tl;dr: don't scorn womyn.

>>2687378
This LJ faggotry will not be tolerated.

No more one shots.

I finished Complex this afternoon and I've spent the whole day crying. I cried harder than I have ever did(it made my tears for Titanic, Up!, and Toy Story 3 all seem like nothing).

But the tears are manly tears of manlyhood.

>Tl;dr: don't scorn womben.
But I must

>>2687389
>crying over cartoons

>>2687292
3 people have already recommended adding Neko no Koi... Why not add it to the list?

bump

Here's a small list I've been doing based on recommendation threads, and one scanlation groups thread, on /cm/. I've read and thought the following were recommendation-worthy:
Abe Miyuki - Super Lovers
Junko - Konbini-kun
Takarai Rihito - Hana no Mizo Shiru
Moto Haruko - Nichijousahan Bi, Please Wait, Hug Kiss Shake Hands
Yumeka Sumomo / Sahara Mizu - Same Cell Organism, The Day I become a Butterfly, Heart Parts, So Love Begins
Furutsuji Kikka - Hachiue no Juunin
Okuyama Puku - Tomorrow is a Dog's Day
Asou Kai - Sorenari ni Shinken nandesu
Sunae Hata - Cat's Eye Horoscope (Maybe, still needs more releases)
Hirama Mitsunaga - Relativity Eudaemonics
Yamanaka Hiko - Prince and Small Bird
Aniya Yuiji - Close Your Eyelids for 3 Seconds
Honma Akira - Usagi Otoko Tora Otoko

And here are some that were also in the threads that I haven't read yet:
Girou no Koimizu
Jigoku Meguri
Kuchuu Teien
Natural Doggy's Diary
Oujisama wa Inai
Portrait In Blue
Mr. Morning
Negative-kun to Positive-kun
Cello Mellow
Fujunna Renai
Furueru Yoru no Himitsugoto
Gin no Kajitsu

Also, read something about not wanting to add manga that had genitals. What was the final verdict on that?
Oh and, guys, can we add Sex Pistols? Or is it one big nope?

Alright, I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned. I didn't see it anywhere, but if I missed it I'm sorry about that.

Boys Next Door by Kaori Yuki is short, but very touching. It was only one short volume and I'm not sure if you're looking for long series or anything, but I feel it should be given a look.

http://sakuracrisis.ukepile.com/projects/complete/boys-next-door/

BACKGROUND HELP
For the background for the list are we doing:
A) Traditional, Simple Fill Color(either Black or the blue for SFW board)
B) You have a background in mind(be sure it has exact or close to size of 1800px x 3400px*)
If you want a picture to be tinted to fit, like the original
C)You're a digital drawfag that wants to draw a nice background(abstract art, or something else /cm/ will like)**

*Estimated not certain yet, depending on if /cm/ wants a summary with every manga or not.
**You can e-mail me the .psd file(or whatever file) as well as post on here for others to see.


Also if anyone has a nice font(simple, and readable) for title and/or text for summary(not decided yet) and footnotes then tell me about it and send a link to dafont(or wherever)

>>2687756
Adding it

>>2688017
If some more people agree any, I'll be glad to add them(3 or more)

>Negative-kun to Positive-kun
Someone was gracious enough to post the first 2 translated chapters in another thread, and not only was I thrilled to finally read it, but also surprised someone stuck it to those closed group fujinazi's.
it's this one if you want to read it(not half bad):
>>2687413


>>2688183
We came to a conclusion that it was fine, so have about 3 or more people agree and I'll add it.

>>2681249
>I'd like to see short summaries for these titles
At first I said "no" but then I saw this(see picture) and now I want.

I still need help with age ratings(a lot of the manga don't have ratings or give an 18+ rating for manga cleaner than some with the same rating)
and
a 2 sentence or less summary(I can get most summaries from updates or mangafox, but some manga don't have summaries, and I haven't read all of them to know them)

>>2688283
>someone stuck it to those closed group fujinazi's.
lol we have manga anons who just want to share a nice story from time to time (lurkmoar kindly). It's not about sticking it to anyone. If anything, MIAB has the "join" thing as a legal precaution to stop underageb& from taking stuff (though everyone lies on the internet) and to remove their files when the thing gets licensed in english so it will be someone else's head if the files are found running around various places.

>>2688283
background - black
text - simplest san-serif font you can find
post summaries of the stuff you have and those you're missing. we'll fill it in.

>>2688311
>simplest san-serif font you can find
This, just make it readable

I really don't like the font used for >>2688283
The one for >>2681551 is pretty nice though, I believe it's Hobo

>>2688289
I guess I can see how this can be a pro to a closed group, but overall, closed things are closed need to be more open(to hell with the kids and the licensors)

>>2688311
gotcha

>>2688316
Will go simple, not sure if want Hobo font, but I might use it.

>>2688183

I agree with this but it should have a disclaimer since it really is not for everyone.

Dog Style is mentioned on these threads all the time, personally I much prefer Koi ga Bokura wo Yurusu Hani by the same mangaka. Unfortunately it hasn't been released in English.

Before doing the real thing, shouldn't we make a list with all the titles and see if the majority is okay with them?

>>2688344
There will be ratings for all of them, done by you guys(I'm no good at giving ratings)
Dog Style will have to do.

>>2688345
I was working hard getting summaries done,

but I got sidetracked with another BL. But thank you for getting me on track. I got 7 completed out of 54(I'm forgetting some, and tomorrow, around will be the deadline 3 PM eastern, so I don't have to keep adding and adding to the list and give a day or two for others to look over the BL listed.)

testing

>>2688388
hobo doesn't work well when it's that small does it...

>>2688345
OP posted their link here - >>2686617 a text file of the titles he already had - may not be up to date with other titles in this thread yet. not sure.

Okay for the people who want Macchi Uri instead of Nikushokujuu, I NEED A SUMMARY(and if you can find a place or download for me to read that would be great)

I also need a Summary for Complex(by Manda Ringo), all the summaries I read were utter crap.

Also need a Summary for Usotsuki wa Shinshi no Hajimari, as the summary also sounds bad, and you have to be in MiaB

(should we even include in the list?)

tl;dr
I NEED SUMMARIES FOR:
Macchi Uri
Complex
Usotsuki wa Shinshi no Hajimari


>>2688520
working well actually
(is that abe and mishashi?)

>>2688558
still working on updated list, keep getting distracted by /a/ 37/54 completed(as of now)

>>2688571
macchi uri... It's a libre shuppan title - I know you're too edgy and good for BL scanlation groups and the fujonazi's on LJ or elsewhere but they are the company that sort of shut down most scanlation groups and made people go into hiding - you need to go deep into LJ to get it - most newfags who look at this chart aren't gonna be able to do that. learn either of the two flavors of ching chong - jap or chn to read it.

>>2688584
Someone should just sneak into all these groups, download the titles on the chart and post them in /rs/

>>2688584
lets not include it then and stick with Nikushokujuu no Table Manner then. This is for the new to BL, and the people looking for a quick find on BL without the hassle of joining a group, or learning Australian to read it.

>>2688586
That'd simply stop all future releases. You don't want more scanlations? Already scarce and dried up as it is. You can buy the popular and shitty titles the english companies give you lol. You stick it to corporations. Not people who translate your cartoon gay pron for free. If 10 groups closed, around 50+ of them are open and need help with scanlations. Or at least a thank you. like said before - most have the join thing to keep out 15 year olds who wanna read goosh goosh and their parents find it and take the scanlators to court (those who remember the lady phantomhive b& staff matter...).

think we should include a list of BL groups - some people might find out more titles that aren't in the list - leaving out those who don't want their works updated anywhere.

>>2688587
>Nikushokujuu no Table Manner
Wait wait what.
You're also going to add titles that were on the previous chart? Why?
I thought this was supposed to be some sort of continuation. I don't see the point in adding titles that were already mentioned.
No wonder the list is so big.

>>2688616
because this is an entirely new chart - each mangaka gets one title instead of multiple ones like the original /cm/ chart. so repeats from the original chart and new titles that were suggested on this thread.

>>2688616
I thought I replied to this before I got off(damn you 4chanX) but what >>2688697
said.

I also like to add, with more on the list, more things people will read(if they use the list that is) and also its a lot better to include a title, summary and genres so the person can look at the list and know just what they want to read instead of looking up random titles and hoping it's something they like.

http://www.mediafire.com/?c7ji7cmumjt4z1j

There are some without summaries, if you see one, and know a good one, just put a summary in a post and I will add it(I don't have some because there weren't any summaries or they were really bad)

And I didn't add any ratings(you guys do that, I'm bad at it), I would use the manga classification which are(i was planning on using the UK film classifications but these work better):
Y – Youth, Age 10+

I appreciate any help I can get. Let's go until 7PM EST to stop adding new BL in the list, so no more adding after that, and the people that already asked to get a few more BL in, you still need people to agree

I suggest that New York New York (Ragawa Marimo, which also did Aka-chan to Boku) and Nemureru Mori no Binan/Tomoi (Akisato Wakun) will be added.

Though Prince of Tennis isn't BL I'm guessing, can anyone tell me if it's worth the read? Or if I should watch the anime instead? I'm a bit interested in the series but I don't want to waste my time so could a fan tell me why they like it and what to expect?

I was hoping for a list of titles that might be added too, so that people can see what's still pending approval.
Also, ratings seem pretty pointless. The only one that's really needed is 18+.

The anime seems to be pretty popular because it's where a lot of seiyuu start out, they have tons of character songs and drama cds

No idea if the series is any bit interesting though

Just got back from an out-of-town trip, and I don't know myself what was pending approval. I will look through this thread to find them, but I won't be able to get back to you with them until tomorrow night.(21:00 EST).

>Also, ratings seem pretty pointless. The only one that's really needed is 18+.
No one's doing ratings so I might not just put them in(except for the 18+, if you can help me out)

Growing up, PoT was a great show. I watched it and read the manga up until some season, but I saw it coming back this year and didn't give it a thought to catch up 6 seasons(or volumes).

I just say go with the manga
Pros:
shorter
easier to catch up with the beginning season

Cons:
Might miss some important notes that the anime had(I forgot if there are any at all)
Chibi Fillers are great and you will miss out.

The live action musical was not my cup of tea, but reading a few volumes or a few seasons should make you understand the BL doujinshi's you read a little bit better.(the cuter ones are sure to be a good read if you know the characters well)

Are you interested in sports anime or just all the cute guys in it?
if it's just the cute guys, you might not enjoy it
but if it's sports anime you will enjoy it
if you like tennis, it is really good and as an overall sports anime/manga is to be compared with Big Windup and Whistle!
