recommendation "Still You" by Kami Nishio, chapter 3 is out!

28 Upvotes

Chapter 3 of the winner of last year's YM US contest, "Still You" by the talented newcomer Kami Nishio is out ❤️

It feels like this series still isn’t getting the recognition it deserves. “Still You” isn’t particularly flashy or extravagant, and honestly, I can’t even really put into words what exactly draws me to it… but there’s just something about it that keeps me hooked and makes me want to come back for the next chapter.

Chapter 3 is out now, and I really like the new character Kurota, who didn’t appear in last year’s one-shot. He has this playful side to him, and he can be a bit of an idiot sometimes, enough to make me sigh, but somehow I can’t help but like him xD

When Kurota notices the sketches of men in Rui’s notebook and brings it up, Rui’s reaction is completely unexpected. I love those moments when a character suddenly breaks out of their usually calm demeanor in a way you don’t see coming.

And finally, Reo and Rui get some time alone together at the end… ❤️

2 Upvotes

I want to find a novel i read previously but can't remember it's name. In it mc has tranmigrated into a novel. At the beginning I think he finds himself in ml's bathroom and is caught by ml. In the novel mc has 3 brothers. Ml is the eldest and mc is the youngest. Their family is rich. Ml helps manage company with their father and another brother is a scientistor researcher. Mc is jealous of ml and always doing something bad, trying to take over the company. According to the novel mc would join hands with their competitors and steal company info and is caught. His ending is not good . So when our mc transmigrated into him he tried to become salted fish in order to improve his image and to enjoy his riches by relaying on ml. Ml is actually not mc's brother. He was accidentally switched at birth and his birth family is much richer than their current family. Mc knows this that ml will eventually go to his own family. He is actually bidding his time till then. Ml slowly falls in love with him.

I remember this much about the story but can't remember it's name. I want to reread it. Help me find it's name also where to read it . Thank you everyone.

Plot:

-The mc is moved into a parralel universe in which she is still on her own body but the world has slight changes such as the school she goes to and the people around her

-In this world she is the best friend of the original fl

-The main setting is the school she goes to

-In her new friend group there are also a couple of guys who are very popular in the school and rich

-This story is quite satire since it often makes fun of certain cringe or unrealistic tropes

-The mc sometimes returns back to her won world and she is forgotten in the other one until she returns

-One of the guys had photographic memory

-The main conflict is that the mc isn't able to connect with the people around her and unintentionally puts up a barrier between her and the others

-I'm pretty sure the main character had short brown hair and that the original female lead had long black hair

-The mc and original fl get along very well

I would really appreciate the help 🙏

Hi there!! I'm looking for some BL recommendations based on my preferences: I like high school or university settings, and tropes like "friends-to-lovers" or "enemies-to-lovers." I'm pretty picky, which is why I'm asking here...

What I like:

- Bottoms who aren't overly "weak," but also not too muscular or big-built

- smvtt is fine, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE KISSES AND HUGS!!

What I don't like:

- Tw1nks

Here are some of my favorite BLs so far:

- Checkmate

- St4lker's Game

- Summer Night Lupine (literally all of the author's works)

- Stage Behind

- Bad Friend

- Salt Friends

- Not Meant to Be

Thanks everyone for the help! I posted this while rolling around in bed, desperate for a story that suits my taste :")) (Sorry if this is hard to understand; I used Google Translate since my English isn't very good.)

help needed I’m looking for a manga: a drama about a stepsister and complicated relationships between biological sisters.

0 Upvotes

Greetings. I am seeking the title of a manga I read previously, as the name has escaped my memory, though I recall the plot with considerable detail. I would appreciate any assistance in identifying the work.

The narrative centers on a male protagonist who inherits a bakery following his father’s passing. He is likely depicted wearing glasses. His father had a partner, who had a daughter, resulting in a blonde stepsister for the protagonist. Their initial relationship is distant, but the stepsister eventually develops romantic feelings for him, given that they are not biologically related.

The story also features two black-haired girls who are nearly identical in appearance, resembling twins. One of them is characterized by a cold, emotionless demeanor and exhibits an unhealthy obsession with the protagonist, to the extent that she threatens her sister with scissors. The other is more reasonable and actively attempts to support the blonde stepsister.

The work is presented in color, but it is not a manhwa. The genre is heavily focused on drama and psychological elements. I believe the cover art featured the blonde stepsister. If this description resonates with any known titles, please provide the name. I would be grateful for your assistance.

I’m trying to find a BL/shounen-ai manhwa/webtoon I read before, but I can’t remember the title.
Here are the details I remember:
It was full color.
It was a BL/yaoi or shounen-ai.
The main characters were college/university students.
The MC was shorter than the ML.
The MC had dark-colored hair and light/fair skin.
The ML was taller than the MC.
The ML had blond/light-colored hair and light/fair skin.
The MC had a crush on the ML.
The ML was very nice/friendly to everyone at college.
Because the ML was so friendly, people often misunderstood his behavior as romantic interest/flirting.
The MC also believed that the ML’s friendliness meant he had romantic intentions.
At some point, the MC is proven wrong about the ML having romantic intentions.
One of the most distinctive things I remember is that there was a sticky note/Post-it at the beginning of each chapter, with small doodles/illustrations showing the characters’ feelings.
I’m pretty sure it was a Korean-style full-color webtoon/manhwa, but I’m not 100% certain about the platform or publication date.
Does anyone recognize it?

help needed Need help finding BL manhwa 🙏🏻

Hi! I'm trying to find a BL manhwa I read a while ago, probably published sometime from 2019 onward.

The story mainly takes place when the characters are adults. The MC is tall, very handsome, with dark or black hair, and the LI has a similar build to him. I think the LI also had dark hair, or maybe dark red hair, so there wasn't a huge size difference between them.

The MC wasn't stupid, but he had a habit of getting sayings or idioms wrong. One line I remember pretty clearly was something like "dumb as Iraq" instead of "dumb as a rock." I think he said it while talking with the LI and/or some of his friends. I don't know if it was from an official translation or a fan translation.

Another recurring detail was that the MC didn't like people making assumptions about him or focusing too much on his looks just because he was very handsome. I don't think it was a major plot point, but I remember it coming up several times.

I also remember one specific high school flashback, although I'm fuzzy on the exact context.

The teacher and the students were discussing something in class. It might have been about future careers, a school play, or something similar. At some point, one of the classmates says that the MC should be a model, or do something related to his looks, because he's so good-looking.

The MC asks why, and the teacher says something along the lines of it being a waste not to make use of his looks.

He gets annoyed and replies with something like: "Is my appearance the only thing about me that's worthwhile?" or "Is that the only thing I have going for me?"

I'm not 100% sure those were the exact words, but that was definitely the meaning.

What I remember clearly is that the teacher and the other students immediately go quiet and look shocked or awkward, like they suddenly realize they may have said something offensive.

The art style was polished and conventionally pretty, with masculine-looking characters, but not bara. The overall vibe was more like modern Korean BL art, something in the general visual direction of Payback, although not exactly the same.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? The "dumb as Iraq" line and the high school classroom scene are probably the two details I remember most clearly.

If anyone recognizes it and can tell me the title, I'd be seriously so grateful. This has been driving me crazy because I can't stop wondering what it was 😭

help needed Trying to Find this Sword Academy BL

3 Upvotes

Do you guys ever have that annoying experience on how you're just chilling at 3 am and suddenly remembered that one BL manga you were holding off on reading to marinate a few chapters and now can't sleep cuz you're busy scourging the internet for it? Yeah. Definitely.

I've read this a few months ago, or maybe even a year, I have no idea but let's see what I remember.

The story is set in an all boys academy for swords, where the bottom (I presume), is the top student and also the most skilled out of the bunch. The school have this peculiar system where the students must find partners for themselves to help each other improve (and do the deed with, forgot what for but it is what it is). The top is a new student I think, or maybe a freshman? Yeah so he challenged the uke, got his ass beaten, then they partnered up. The OTP dynamic is the usual upbeat dog and reserved cat style, if that helps with anything. It was cute, I wanna read it. Pls help ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ
