Anonymous asked: Do you know any other expats in Japan?
Anonymous asked: Last night I had a JR and SH marathon-it was so fun!- and noticed that the SH anime is somewhat lower quality in terms of the art and design than the JR anime. Have you noticed this?
Anonymous asked: Is your group still interested in doing Elektel Delusion? I just saw the update on Mangafox but as far as I understand from what the translator said at the forum they only did it for fun to get faster releases and are no actual group with the intent of doing the pages in the "professional" manner you or others do. (Sorry if you already said something about it, had no internet for a few...
Anonymous asked: Thanks for all of your replies to my asks. Before going again into lurker mode, I just wanted to say that your summary and later words about Oku-san's Daily Fantasies made me go buy the pdf in Sublime. It's not expensive so even the change from dollars to my currency made it affordable and reading it translated was an enjoyable, wonderful experience (I would've preferred less...
x-cupcakegeisha asked: Out of curiosity, do the novels explain what Hatori and Yuu were doing in the ally in the rain when Chiaki thought they kissed? That was never touched on again but was the driving force for Chiaki's confusion in the anime where he thought Yuu and Hatori had a thing. I know you hate Domestica (I'm still coping w/ finding out about the rape :s It's a bummer Nakamura did that to them...
x-cupcakegeisha asked: I understand that Nakamura didn't write the Yoshino novels, but it bugs me that she continues on with their story like the violent rape shouldn't bother readers. Nobody else in SH has their seme acting so out un-canon. Idg her when it comes to Domestica, it was cute enough (before the rape was knowledge to all) if you ignored it's logical flaws, but still, wtf @ Nakamura, ya know?...
Anonymous asked: Do you like Japanese music? Apart from the music from Burimyu and Tenimyu that is.

I just found out No.6 is actually a shounen-ai...
hanayuukianimeworld:
I’m so outdated OTL I thought it was just a normal action shounen story but I was wrong. LOL /shrugs/
It’s got the ol’ homoromantic elements, but it’s not shounen ai as the genre applies. Boys kissing isn’t really the only qualifier for that genre label, hence why it’s not labeled as such anywhere.
boleyns:
so, is tumblr not working right now or have i blocked so many people i can’t block anyone else?
Randomly found this googling the problem, so at least it makes me feel better not being the only one.
Help me tumblr savior, you’re my only hope.
Also, an anon here recently tried to guilt me for my blocking by telling me doing so prevented the blocked individuals from seeing my...

Do not know if want...
土曜日に仙台であさの先生の講演聞いてきた同僚が言っていたのだが、NO.6番外編は紫苑のお父さんが出てくるとか。あとネズミの本名も!!!!
“A colleague who attended last Saturday’s lecture by Asano-sensei said that Shion’s father may appear in a No.6 side-story, as well as Nezumi’s real name!”
What is this side story what where D:
I mean, I could care less about Shion’s papa really (please please someone give us Nezumi and...
Anonymous asked: Have you seen the BL anime OVA (flash animation actually but really good) Kachou no Koi? It's a different quirky kind of BL and also very hilarious XD

There. You guys did it. Thanks.
askkaran:
Guess I can’t even have an ask blog of whatever the fuck I want without getting criticized like I’m going against the fucking world.
This blog is now closed.
Go ahead and feel free to vent your gay anger on my askbox. I’ll even read them too. Maybe reply.
What a charming and mature response! You’ve obviously taken the valid, well-founded concerns of other members of the...

Anonymous asked: Would you be willing to sell your novels?
Anonymous asked: Hi. I'm going to Japan soon and am looking forward to buying lots of doujinshi. However I've only been once before and had a hard time determining just how places like K-Books, Mandarake etc were organized. Is it by circle, title or subject? Would you mind explaining how to find things? Thanks a lot!
ghost-of-the-desert asked: Thanks for the info and the link. I'll definitely be checking it out. :)
Anonymous asked: What's a fandom pet peeve of yours? Not something obvious and sane to be peeved about, like wanting to violently murder Domestica fans, but more random things that might not even annoy other people that much. Doesn't have to be BL-related. For me, its when people make fan art (and just fan-art - strangely, fanfic doesn't seem to apply) with pairings that are so utterly forced that...

Does anyone know if No.6 chapter 14 is available...
It’s only being published today in Japan :P It comes out the 28th of every month so…yes it’s available to read! …In Japan :D
We’ll have scanlations up ASAP, but it’s a monthly installment kind of thing so…it won’t be up any sooner than the 28th of every month, raw or otherwise.
Anonymous asked: I was born and live in the United States and feel like it's time to move. I just feel like I don't belong here and would love to just pack up and leave and start from scratch. Would you recommend Japan?

sadayo:
haha this may be random,
but i hate the story line to no.6
it was okay at first, but the ending just really sucked.
i was kind of confused, and like seriously, idk.
i just didn’t like it.
._. but, i like the art of No.6.
and Nezumi is like, the most sexiest anime character I’ve seen since a while.
e-e but like, i hate the ending, and everything else but the art.
and i hate...
Anonymous asked: In terms of hotness, how would you rank the SH characters (anime only)? And I mean just in terms of their character design, without reference to their names, background and baggage. For example, I loved Yokozawa's character before I even knew his name (I have a thing for frowny men in suits *.*), then Yukina (the *sparkles,* what can I say? ;P) Isaka (his eyes are amazingly gorgeously blue in...
glitterscum asked: I don't want to go on about Egoist, because you're probably tired of talking about it, but re: "he still sounds like they’ve been dating for 2 weeks rather than what, almost 10 years now?" I think that is just another of Nakamura's problems tbh. :/ I mean look at Romantica (Misaki protesting sex even though he's been with Usagi for years) or Nostalgia (how long...
Anonymous asked: Do you watch/read any other anime/manga besides yaoi? I'm not trying to insult (My life revolves around yaoi orz), I'm just curious! If so, could you please list some?
Anonymous asked: I haven't gotten to Domestica yet, but can you tell about it? Cause I've only seen the anime and I don't think that suffices. I'm only asking because I know I won't get to reading it any time soon...
Anonymous asked: Even though you hate Domestica, do you have the copies of the novels?
Anonymous asked: I didn't like Yokozawa. I read the novel, now I like him. I find it frustrating that you criticize ppl who have not read Yoko's novel and dislike Yoko, yet you do the same with Hiroki even though you admittedly have not fully read the manga and when asked to do so by some of the ppl who have refused. I like Hiroki and am somewhat insulted that you seem to bundle him up with a sick...
Anonymous asked: I'll be looking forward to that one. Well I hope you get more brave souls to asking for your opinion today. Enjoy your time at work :OP. Did you read "From The Ground Up" Chapter 21 "Last" after reading it I came to appreciate the RP in Tumblr not all of it but the trifecta.
Anonymous asked: Agreed, I can't get enough of trifecta and crossinthenight fills in the erotica if she/they leaves it out. :Op I'll never forgive you for making me shed manish tears (who am I kidding I could have been cutting a mountain of onions) for introducing me to No.6. on that front I read something a couple of days ago about how you found a doujinshi with adequate erotica is it true? Thanks...
Anonymous asked: Domestica has no excuse for existing and I think she stopped updating it a couple of volumes ago hopefully Nakamura gets the hint and stops writing about them. ON the Egoist front if you read the last chapter there is some eye candy and thought provoking discussions to be had. You might notice after seeing him from many angles that Tsumori and his dialogue are very similar to Kirishma's...
Anonymous asked: yuu deserves better though.
Anonymous asked: you forgot, Trifecta has that whole "switch-hitter" effect where either one can become the uke :OP drool!! Hey but before you give up on Hiro please read the latest chapter, I don't want to spoil it for you but if you read page 13/14 on mangafox and still think Hiro doesn't try I guess I give up you're too good!! (lies I'll find something redeeming, because I like to...
Anonymous asked: yeah, the anime makes domestica seem sweet. poor yuu though, i really want to know what happens to the guy afterwards. thanks for answering the questions, by the way. :)
Anonymous asked: asdfjkl;asdfjkl;asdfjk;!!! This is why I stalk your page!!! you make me want dislike Egotist too, because they are all valid points. Now I have another excuse to go re-read all their chapters and figure out why I liked them so much. I mean sure they reminded me of a consensual koi suru bo-kun without the F-g or H-m- words flying across every other page. It was like a new draft of a Tyrant...
Anonymous asked: no wonder i've never seen it, i've only been watching the anime. all this time i've been confused with why you dislike domestica so much, but seeing the way it was in the novel, i'm also disturbed. anyway, how different is the novel from the anime and manga? i'm sorry if i'm asking too much XD
Anonymous asked: How do you not consider Hiroki's past and the other ways he professes his love. From childhood he was in love with Usagi in college threw himself on top of a blindfolded Usagi and then the guy he's dating "disappears". Granted Hiroki is a bad listener, but, he find's Nowaki's daily love letters and promises to keep them forever. Not to mention that Egoist is written...
Anonymous asked: Thanks for answering my Egoist ramblings and sorry for being such a stickler. It's just that for me Egoist has always held a special place in my heart since it was the couple that made me a fangirl (even though I had been reading BL mangas for over a year). For me Egoist, is one of those simple relationships-there's no love triangles or any of that, no real drama or conflicts per se...
Anonymous asked: i'm sorry, but i'm new to SH, when exactly did the rape scene between hatori and chiaki happen? D:
Anonymous asked: I'm confused as to why Hatori/Chiaki is called Domestica. The other names are obvious, but I'm really confused..
Anonymous asked: i am really confused. What is trifecta and egoist and stuff? x__x
Anonymous asked: Fencer_x echo"SL is about the closest I’ve come to enjoying something with incest flavors, and even I can’t explain what I like about it…" I am also not into the incest kink but I might know why many people like you and I fall for Super Lovers and accept it. It really draws you in with carefully choreographed words, a situation that is both endearing and different,...

Anonymous asked: How popular is Trifecta compared to the other SH and JR couples there in Japan? And how long do you think we have to wait to get an audio cd or an anime for this couple?
Anonymous asked: Sorry this is part 2 of last Q: So then Nowaki does a horrible thing and disappears. Hiroki was justifiably hurt, yet he took Nowaki back b/c he loves him. I don't think Hiroki's loving axns are few, every chapter has him doing something for Nowaki. The valentine's day choco, the kiss, the bath, the letter to his parents, taking care of Nowaki when sick etc. Anyways, I totally...
Anonymous asked: How many years did you study japanese? I'm from mexico.. I wanna learn japanese so badly but in my city is imposible... I was learning via internet but it is not the same (I'm still studying japanese online but my school..) I wanna dedicate my life to japanese language. :/ sorry, if it sounds idiot.
Anonymous asked: Based on your experiences/observations, in what ways is Japan xenophobic?
Anonymous asked: Out of reading, speaking and writing Japanese, what are you the best at? Or what do you find the easiest?
stupidconfetti replied to your post: G-talk anyone?
i’m off for a workout rn but maybe in an hour or so??
Oh /fidgets, I’ll have to put on my Sunday best :3
And don’t go workout you are not fat you are gorgeous.
