Maybe you would like Cherry Magic: Thirty years of virginity can make your a wizard. That definitely doesn't have anything explicit and it's very well loved my many! It even had a live action drama. I hope you consider it for next time.
Totally agree. I even suggested it on the comment section of the last video too. I really hope Perth can bring this amazing story to us in his channel ♥️ I'm confident he and everyone who doesn't know the story yet are gonna like it.
I recommend ‘Here U Are’. Its really good and I think you’ll enjoy it! I’m not sure it’s shounen ai but I do think it is coming from my memory of the manhua. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Thank you for the video Perth!
Here you are is a beautiful manhua but kind of a slow burn and as op stated pretty long too but it's also shounen ai only the very last chapters or extra chapters/art had one or two explicit scenes upon the request of readers (i think)
A manga I really love that they actually made into a drama is Semantic Error, Heaven's Official Blessing (which they also made into an animated series) is one of my cousins favorite and I've read a bit of it, and it's so good. I highly recommend these two. I also wanted to say your American accent is good.
I would also recommend Heesu in Class 2, it's a Korean BL Manhwa but the Story is a bit longer. I also started reading Kieta Hatsukoi and it's super sweet and funny, but also a bit longer xD
ahh yes!! you dont know how many times this manhwa has made me squeal from all the fluffiness!! and the art style just adds onto the wholesome atmosphere 😭💖🌸
I'll also throw in my recommendations for Shounen Ai: - Blue Flag - Sasaki and Miyano - My Love Mix-up I think you'd really like Blue Flag though! It reads like a Shoujo manga, but it has queer characters and relationships.
I'm fujoshi and for me the manwas and animes and yaoi in general are divided into 3 categories: -Shonen Ai: which is basically pure romanticism there is nothing +18, if anything a handshake and a kiss until the end. -Yaoi: which is basically what P' Perth saw today that it is a love story with more bed scenes, although in many yaoi, as well as in BL series, some pass from the kiss to the next day and you imagine what happened since they censor it🤷🏻♀️. and finally........... - Hentai Yaoi: what is basically like what you read last time, hentai yaoi has a bit of history and plot but is more focused on sex all the time and is explicit about everything. at least that's how I would divide the categories 🤷🏻♀️🤭
Hello, fellow fujin/fujo/fudan here! We actually don't use those terms--it's all just BL! "Shonen Ai" was a term used way back in the 70s, but now has negative connotations, so please don't use them. "Yaoi" was a term that came about to refer to plotless doujinshi, and erroneously was used by westerners to refer to m/m romance comics. It's also no longer used "Hentai Yaoi" isn't really a term that anyone uses. People just tag things as "R18" if there's a focus on explicit sex. Now, as for terms that we DO use: BL refers to all m/m comics, for audiences of all genders. Geicomi, or gay manga, is specifically LGBTQA+ manga by and for queer people. BL and Geicomi creators sometimes cross over in each others' domains. I highly recommend reading the many interviews Gengoroh Tagame has done on BL and geicomi, and the history of gay manga in Japan!
@@tofu6573 I haven't heard of geicomi or gaymanga being used as a term so thanks for letting us know. But I knew shounen ai and yaoi are no longer used as they are very outdated and ahem so called 'unprofessional'. But some readers or people still use these terms since they haven't read comments regarding the new changes or they have gotten used to saying the old terms. Anyway, I wish Asian gay manga written by gay creators were more popular and translated. Also, as you said there is definitely some blurring between BL made for straight and gay/queer audiences. However, I'm so glad we do have Western LGBT+ and BL/GL comics that are available on platforms such as Tapas and Webtoons definitely written with a lgbt+ audiences in mind.
@@sunnyv7745 I wouldn't discredit Asian BL, though! In fact, several geicomi artists have also done BL/straight works, and encourage the fact that there's less rigidity in regards to "xyz has to be this way if it's drawn by someone of this gender". Again, I really recommend reading Gengoroh Tagame's interview at TCAF about how the crossover between BL and geicomi works is good, and that trying to categorize works by how sexual they are in terms of representation is kind of detrimental to progress!
I have been loving you're reading of BL manga. Your American accent was great. You're very entertaining and your sound effects are always hilarious. Hope you keep reading them to us! Thank you Perth!😊
Sasaki and Miyano is a must! Such an adorable and fun manga, one of my all-time favorites! I mostly read Manhwa because I like the art style and colors a lot and I mostly read explicit stuff but I love the soft ones just as much :)
For non spicy manga I suggest Restart wa Tadaima no Ato de (aka Restarting after Coming Back Home) is really sweet and good. The sequel was also incredible
Really enjoy Perth reads BL Manga. You are great in using your voice and tone to make the stories attractive and entertaining. Looking forward to you next BL Manga video.
That was really sweet honestly like no drama, i like things like this. Loved it really really loved it. Perth please do this more often its fun, also listening to these stories in your voice is really the added advantage 💜💜💜
PERTH i cant with these videos i was literally losing my mind the whole time. And the part where you were trying to figure out how to make the schlp soUND EWW I HAVE PASSED AWAY THAT SHIT WAS SO FUNNY. I love it pls keep this up its so embarrassing but its hella fun lets go bois 😎😎😎
I was really waiting for this since he had that interview where he mentioned reading another bl manga... actually the lighter types of bl mangas are tagged as "fluff" or "lemon"... Shounen Ai is just literally "Boy Love" in romanized japanese... so.. 😅 If it's Shounen Ai, it can technically go through the entire sub-genre spectrum even to a yaoi sub-genre... I suggest trying the lemons, the fluffs or even one-shots for the cutesy stuffs 😅😅😅
the reaction is so hilarious. I'm not expecting you to continue the reading after you see the NC scene lolololol... Love the sticker that u use for the self-censored part (rofl)
perth those sound effects you make should be illegal !😂😂 jokes aside another enjoyable video and glad to see you having fun reading bl series. once again love the little perth faces preserving our "innocence"🤭
10 years that I loved you the most it's a good manga with a good plot and no "spicy scenes" from what I remember. Also will make u cry so beware. Happy reading!
As an American, I'd just like to say you did well with the American accent. Thanks for not automatically going to "Cali surfer dude" like most non-Americans tend to do 🙂
Perth….if you need genuine shounen ai recommendations just ask Twitter. The results will come flooding in….so many wholesome and actual lgbtq+ slice of life stories 🎉
I watched the first reading and glad you chose to do a second one , I never watched anyone read manga before, but you do such a good job! Totally brightens my day. And your American accent is perfect !
Yeah listing/watching this while at work (again) was probably not the best idea. I just love your facial expression! I was laughing a little too much in my office today! Thank you for such and amazing job in reading to us!
I have read quite a few bl Mangas and they were all designated Yaoi, but had different levels of "spiciness". My absolute favorite is a Korean Manga named "Unintentional Love Story". It is very sweet and a great love story, it focuses on the relationship more so than the physical part, from getting to know each other, falling in love and navigating some stormy waters and misunderstandings and one very big lie. Yes, there is the eventual resolution and happy ending. While the story is pretty typical, the details and the way both men deal with the problems that come up is pretty cool and interesting. They also did a very well executed web series with the same name and I just fell hard for the portrayals of both characters, it was very beautiful and moving and the older man especially was great, played by Cha Seowon (his hugs look so cozy and warm) and the younger man was played by Gongchan. Highly recommend both the Manga and the series, which you can binge watch as it is finished. Hope you have time to check out both and enjoy!
I wish I had more time to also join the lives you do, but graduation doesn't let me! I hope you keep reading mangas, BL or not, because I dont find time to do it myself and because I like your voice!
Perth! I really recommend reading “Our Dining Table” its a really cute BL. Def my favorite. It has really good art and story 🥰 P.S Your American accent is spot on🤣
You should talk to your company ( unless you already are doing this): your voice is very relaxing and soothing and easy to listen too. Doing reading for books. It’s a good side job and u can do it at your time. Just suggested. Have a great day and a wonderful tomorrow too 😊
Thank you so much for making another BL manga reading video, I really love that you’ve thrown yourself into it, which makes it more fun and entertaining, can’t wait for the third one. I’ve checked whether my previous suggestions are on BookWalker or not but unfortunately none of them is… I’m still gonna drop the names here because I believe you’d enjoy reading them, they are all very light hearted, no game and not explicit. So even if you can’t show them in your video, maybe you can still read them on your own. They are: チェリまほ(cherry magic)、消えた初恋(my love mix-up)、オールドファッションカップケーキ(old fashion cupcake) And also Semantic Error, this one is a Korean manga, very interesting, but it’s still ongoing so yeah. One more, BJ Alex, also Korean, its about a sexual streamer and his fan, turns out they are classmate, this one is hella fun and steamy, but the story is still good. Again, thank you for always creating amazing content for us, see you in the next video or live!
Besides the very well done narration one thing I notice in Perth s expression it's the intense lookin with his Big black eyes, everytime I was lookin at My cellphone You Made me really nervous , I mean it's not a Bad thing, but it make me that response...and when the sound effect came along that intensity flew away, jsjsjs
It’s trippy hearing Perth speak in an American accent, but it’s not too bad, maybe could use a little work to sound more natural, but it’s pretty good.
oh! oh!! if you want to read a completely wholesome bl manga please _please_ do yourself a favour and read *"i hear the sunspot"* by yuki fumino i am begging you it's so sweet and cute and wholesome. it's about a college boy, kohei who started having problems with his hearing when he was younger and because of that starts to withdraw. so now in college he's a loner and sticks to himself. until one day by chance he meets taichi, a fellow college classmate who's very loud and speaks whatever is on his mind without thinking. since kohei can't hear well, taichi starts taking notes for kohei in class in exchange for lunch and they become friends (and then fall in love, of course hehe). my favorite thing about this manga is how both of these characters are in a way lost and lonely and how they find comfort in each other and how they affect and grow with one another please it's so wholesome and fluffy and i just adore this manga soooo so much it hurts just. _i hear the sunspot_ my beloved
sorry for an off topic comment but I just binge watched "my engineer' and oh my god I am crying😭 this was the best series. screw the main couple cuz 💫Ram and King💫 can have my heart I love them so much. I am really hoping for season 2 if it is possible💖💖💖💖💖💖
I recommend “My delicious dream boy,” it’s got a little spice to it but isn’t quite yaoi, and it’s also rly cute. Very nice cross between yaoi and shounen ai
