We should just have a fujo-related chart general, to encompass all threads lel. Like this one
https://fujochan.org/ot/res/4994.html and this one

>>11422I appreciate the purple and blue outlines though some of these choices aren't as gay as I'd like. We should make our own chart.
No.11481
>>11480It’s definitely not up to date or accurate cause South Park and Fire Emblem should have purple outlines. And Hundred Line should be added. Also I’m confused on why Tales of Zestiria and Owari no Seraph didn’t get a blue outline.
No.11483
>>11480>We should make our own chart.That could be fun, although I don't know how practical it would be.
>>11431Kek at the number of books I've read off of there. I didn't know this list existed.
No.11490
>>11489>Female targeted>It's all seinen and shonenGood stuff here, the wording is juat funny.
No.11493
>>11491Brideshead Revisited, The Oresteia, Interview with the Vampire, possibly The Bacchae
if you're insanely biased like me, Moby Dick (and many of Melville's books), more of Mary Renault's books, The Great Gatsby, Demian, Les Miserables, and The Iliad are all fujo-friendly books which are conspicuously missing. Those are just the ones I can think of offhand. I'm sure other nonas and I could think of a few more.
Also, a book I've mentioned in another thread had a surprise fujo twist, but it's probably not appealing to most nonas. Similarly, I can think of some other obscure titles that wouldn't be worth recommending due to the sheer cringe kek. No.11495
>>11493I made a chart with some of your recommendations, some of mine and others I heard. if another anon has any suggestions, I'll consider them.
I wasn’t sure if to add The Great Gatsby and Les Miserables since I don't know how high the fujo bait is in them, I'm also on the fence about the Iliad.
No.11500
>>11495AAAA this is awesome! I would also add Giovanni's Room off the top of my head
No.11502
>>11495Some more recommendations; Swordspoint, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Frankenstein, Dracula, Autobiography of Red, The Outsiders, The Silmarillion (and Lord of the Rings), The Most Dangerous Game, Strangers on a Train, The Vampyre, Exquisite Corpse, and Let the Right One In. I could probably name more but these are also pretty self indulgent choices.
No.11504
>>11502>The Silmarillion (and Lord of the Rings), Strangers on a Train,Let the Right One In, The VampyreI haven't read those, what's the fujo content/appeal in them? I don't remember The Most Dangerous Game having any fujo bait in it but maybe it's because I read it a long time ago
>>11500thanks! (´ ∀ ` *) it's hard to find fujo-Friendly books as is especially for western lit so I wanted to make a chart
>Giovanni's RoomI know it's gay, but how appealing is it to fujos?
No.11505
>>11495The Wishing Game by Patrick Redmond is one is see japanese fujos bring up as formative fujo lit.
Also Demian by Hermann Hesse.
No.11507
>>11505I've read some other Hesse but I just made a reservation for Demian at my local library. I recall at least Narcissus in Narcissus and Goldmund also coming off as homo-/bisexual.
No.11513
>>11508Love the final list! Thank you for your hard work. I'm happy there are other literature fujos on this site. I'm glad you added The Great Gatsby because when my nonfujo friend read it, she was like, "this is the gayest shit I've ever read," so I know I'm not being delusional kek.
>>11495AYRT and yes. I was a little unsure about Les Mis. I think this might be a case of me with the fujo goggles. If anyone's curious, there is this infamous passage:
>However, this sceptic had one fanaticism. This fanaticism was neither a dogma, nor an idea, nor an art, nor a science; it was a man: Enjolras. Grantaire admired, loved, and venerated Enjolras. To whom did this anarchical scoffer unite himself in this phalanx of absolute minds? To the most absolute. In what manner had Enjolras subjugated him? By his ideas? No. By his character. A phenomenon which is often observable. A sceptic who adheres to a believer is as simple as the law of complementary colors. That which we lack attracts us. No one loves the light like the blind man. The dwarf adores the drum-major. The toad always has his eyes fixed on heaven. Why? In order to watch the bird in its flight. Grantaire, in whom writhed doubt, loved to watch faith soar in Enjolras. He had need of Enjolras. That chaste, healthy, firm, upright, hard, candid nature charmed him, without his being clearly aware of it, and without the idea of explaining it to himself having occurred to him. He admired his opposite by instinct. His soft, yielding, dislocated, sickly, shapeless ideas attached themselves to Enjolras as to a spinal column. His moral backbone leaned on that firmness. Grantaire in the presence of Enjolras became some one once more. He was, himself, moreover, composed of two elements, which were, to all appearance, incompatible. He was ironical and cordial. His indifference loved. His mind could get along without belief, but his heart could not get along without friendship. A profound contradiction; for an affection is a conviction. His nature was thus constituted. There are men who seem to be born to be the reverse, the obverse, the wrong side. They are Pollux, Patrocles, Nisus, Eudamidas, Ephestion, Pechmeja. They only exist on condition that they are backed up with another man; their name is a sequel, and is only written preceded by the conjunction and; and their existence is not their own; it is the other side of an existence which is not theirs. >>11504>it's hard to find fujo-Friendly books as is especially for western litAgreed. If you want a recommendation outside of the list (don't add it to the list), you should read Dark Matter: A Ghost Story! You might also like Billy Budd.
>>11502> Exquisite CorpseI've never heard of this one. I looked up the synopsis, and it seems interesting. When I have free time, I'll give it a try.
No.11525
>>11511A lot of these are pretty bizarre choices honestly, I don’t think I’d ever consider billy hatcher, scribblenaughts, earthbound, sonic, and most of these other ones to be shota.
