Another reason to just suck it up and learn mandarin at this point…

I've been seeing danmei fandom losing it over this but since it's a Japanese company and their documents seem to be talking about localizing manga, isn't it more likely they're planning to use AI on manga the parent company already owns? 7S insists they won't use it for translation, but we know Japanese publishers have been experimenting with AI typesetting (which has in 100% of cases needed replacing with human edits) and AI sound effect replacements. The "six month process" they mentioned in their outlines is largely proofing and typeset, and should already be faster with Japanese staff on call to check things.

Media Do's big concern is that somehow the US isn't shifting manga on digital platforms fast enough for their liking. They might actually be incensed by danmei selling better and let danmei take its sweet time with the human process.

Last I heard, their AI LLM was only mean to be used on regular japanese books and not manga, and also not danmei since the LLM is only for japanese.

>>6277
I started learning the second I finished my first danmei. I've already been through this rodeo with japanese. I fucking hate dealing with localization companies and fan translators. I can't fucking wait to git gud so I can ignore all of them like I do for manga.

Omg, nonna, ilysm for this. Thank you so much for your feedback! There were a couple things I couldn't put my finger on, so this helps alot.
You're right, it does feel like I flew over describing additionnal details which could have made the sex scene more apt for stewing and riping, as you put it (fitting choice of words btw). And yeah, the name dropping does feel repetitive too, I guess I was too paranoid about my readers getting lost with who's talking or whose sort of pov it is. So, I'll definitly come back to revisit this one!
Otherwise, I'm happy to see you enjoyed it. ♥♥

>the tags: platonic relationships, father-son relationship, father figures, good dad, platonicccc did i mention PLATONIC
>tagged with both the platonic & and the romantic /
?

I’m guessing it’s newfags who don’t understand the ao3 tagging system.

The way everyone talked about bakudeku including straight guys when the manga ended in the magazine until some new epilogue was released made it look like it was almost a canon pairing kek so I admit it made me curious at the time. A friend of mine shipped them back in 2016 but some of her recommendations were a total disappointment back then like Voltron so I never gave anything else she talked about a try. Do you recommend the MHA manga or the anime? Or maybe it's just a matter of preference? In that case I'll read the manga.

>how would you say it goes for fujobait?
Honestly without spoilers, the fujobait is subtle but it does feel intentional for some pairings. It's a case of when you really think about it, it's really fucking gay between some of the characters and how gay they are for each other is too plot relevant to be ignored. I won't go into details because part of the fun is to find out by yourself. I thought people were exaggerating when they joked about satosugu before I started the anime but it was all truly fucking gay. The first season is straight forward, a bit too cliche and some parts look like the marketing team and the editor forced Gege to copy Naruto here and there, but it gets better and gayer with the second season imo.

>I think some of the dudes I see shipped are too ugly for brainworms to take hold haha. Maybe it's just the art style.
It could be the art style. I think the beginning of the manga looks ugly, and the style in season 1 is very unflattering as well. Seasons 2 and 3 look way better and if the first season and the JJK0 movie had the same style and direction I would have watched it as soon as it was released. Plenty of fanarts make the guys look way cuter or more handsome without making them different from how they canonically look as well. But Gege's art eventually improves.

>some new epilogue was released
The only people who care about this chapter (431) are anti-fujos, everybody else ignores it. If you get around to it you will also experience the vibe of 431 being completely off from anything that ever came before it.
>friend of mine shipped them back in 2016 but some of her recommendations were a total disappointment back then like Voltron so I never gave anything else she talked about a try
Understandable. I've only watched season 1 of the anime (it's fine I guess) and I think the manga falls off kinda hard around ~200 chapters. I only kept up with the manga beyond that point so I'd have context for the fanfiction. Also it was fun to observe Horikoshi evolve as an artist, so I reckon I will enjoy this aspect of JJK as well.

If your friend was shipping it in 2016 she was in the trenches for sure! If you still talk to her you should ask her how it feels to go from the underdog m/m ship to complete and utter domination.

have you read the latest chapter? If you like Soya you will like the latest chapter.

These two, for me, are my Rarepair OTP…Vercci/Voldo from Soul Calibur! They’re very close to canon as far as I’m concerned, but they tend to have a very small amount of fandom activity, sadly.

I mean I gotta ship the Kaworu expy with the protagonist

Wesker x Leon??

Never met in canon but I wanna see them hatefuck or at least Wesker dominating Leon.

>>5847
I remember there being a bit for Mercandio (hope I'm spelling his name right) and the leader of the Companions, but almost all of it is X Dragonborn so it's a bit like an OC.

Ulfric has a lot you can do both woth Stormcloaks and Imperials… godspeed nonna!

>>5849
I don't mind oc x canon shipping as long as it's interesting and well written, which it seldom it, because people tend to just write the actual plot and dialogue directly from the game, and I find that very boring.

Has anyone played Another Eidos R? It's an Arknights style tower defense game with gay/bara theming. I saw cute fanart of a character and started it. Literally the first cutscene in the game is about how MC-kun is jealous that his brother is getting married because he wants to fuck his brother. Wild way to start the game.

Didn't get the character I was interested in in the initial 10pull and mobile games are a hard sell so I don't know how long I'll stick around.

All Out was a little homo but also so horny for teenage boys.

I wasn't expecting so many gay jokes.

>>6064
Isn't he a villain? That's not surprising

>>6115
I dunno, I forgot a lot of what happened in season 1.

>>5980
I like satyrs even though they must smell very badly.

>>5980
I'm pretty vanilla for the most part but I find the idea of nonhuman dicks fascinating. Like what sort of variety in shape, color and function they could have. Double dicks or scaled dicks for instance.

>>5981
Not the point of the picture but I like that satyr's dick very much.

>>5869
I think tagging it as ABA or BAB should be fine
>>5870
>I really like how western fandoms are much more lax around tops or bottoms personally
I hate it lmao. if you have an unpopular fixed dynamic it makes finding them so difficult. I also hate it when they specifically tag a ship as having top A/bottom B only to randomly mention top B out of nowhere

>>5878
>tag a ship as having top A/bottom B only to randomly mention top B out of nowhere
I'm a fan of an unpopular dynamic and this happens 8/10 times I read an explicit fic of them, it annoys me so much. Idk if the authors just do it to throw a crumb to the (few) AB fans reading their fic but it needs to stop. Also hate it when an AB shipper writes a BA fic for fun/variety and they always make a big show about a character bottoming for the first time and how it's not their usual arrangement.

>>5867
>that said, i think in cases where people feel "lied to" for reading a 700k fic with the wrong dynamic because t/b wasn't tagged, idk it's pretty easy to skim through for a sex scene and see how it's being written
This is what they mean by empathy. Mfs who refuse to tag properly just because "it's the year 2025" or something like that instead of creating a comfortable space for everyone. I don't want to sound like one of those Japan suckers, but in some ways, it's clear that eastern fandoms are ahead of us. Of course, it's a more polite, civic-minded, and considerate culture.

>>5688
for bait I know regressor instruction manual has a lot of shipping potential, but it doesn’t start till like chapter 500 and it drags on, I couldn’t bring myself to finish it because of that but see how you like it.
for actual bl I would recommend a ballad of sword and wine (or Qiang Jin Jiu) it's enemies to lovers where they actually fucking hate each other and with a lot of sexual tension, the setting is historical psudo china and has some great political intrigue with a compelling plot outside of the romance.
I agree with your point and that’s why I stopped reading webnovels unless they’re straight up bl.

>>5692
BTW, we also have a danmei thread: https://fujochan.org/bl/res/3857.html

Coolio, glad this thead exists because I thought I'd have to post about this in RT.

Man I wanna get my thoughts out about pic rel but I just can't word things in a manner I like currently. I read it for the first time a few weeks ago and just have not been able to get it out of my mind. It's just really fascinating in how sucky the MC's situation is. It's ABO, and ofc that has the typical "Omegas live in a society™" aspect but Kawachi's situation is just… sad. His life essentially spirals after he gets a really intense heat which results in the ML jumping him. He's just so thoroughly miserable (and outright suicidal) until basically the very end of the story. I'll probably re-read it and try and make a more thought-out post at some point because for better or worse it's just… fascinating. And I initially just thought the cover was cute!
>a heartfelt story of love, family, and personal growth
Sure, alright.
