Mintfu's manga / #Fantasy(59)

Haji strikes again as the best shounen bl author. The world building is always interesting and no character is underdeveloped. Probably one of the only bl manga to have such healthy depictions of women/strong women. The character dynamics are comedy gold here.

This author is a master of shounen bl and I don’t know why they’re the one of the only people tapping into the genre. The world building is amazing and so are the characters. The love story between the two protagonists simply plays out in the background while the true story lies within the bond of a father and son.

A guy picks up a demon baby he found in the mountains. But it’s a pretty demon baby. Demon baby grows up and they cherish each other’s company. They continue to love each other. They hide away from society, fearing that they’ll be forced apart. The art is so gorgeous that I can ignore the weird plot.

Interesting magical boy concept that kind of reminded me of Madoka Magica. The whole thing was pretty weird, but the MC was strong-willed and I really liked his character.

Magical boy MC! MC is so cute but kind of an airhead and it started all shoujo at first but then the ML became Harada-levels of obsessed suddenly. But I appreciate the dedication to the obsession. Sometimes I felt really bad for the MC but the ML really loved him I could tell they were end-game and I was not about to switch sides after rooting for them for so long. Plus the art is soo pretty.

The author’s storytelling is fantastic. I wish a few stories from this were adapted into films or actual books because they have so much potential. Specifically The King’s Harem and the Canary stories. The stories were a little too short, so there would of course be plot holes, but if they were developed a bit more, they would be perfect.

Childhood friend 2nd meetings are great. Lots of pining from the ML. The story itself wasn’t that interesting and I lost interest in the couples a couple of times, but it was kind of cute sometimes, and I liked how the MC was very headstrong in that shoujo manga manner.
