I had a lovely opportunity to talk about #BL, fan fiction, and fanworks in Japan and Southeast Asia on the BBC's The Conversation. I shared my own fanfic and scholarly journey, showcasing the transformative power of fanworks. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...

I did say mpreg and the bbc kept it.

I did just say mpreg to the BBC last night.

Salty over our uni's travel moratorium since I just saw @transasianfan.bsky.social program this week, and there were some really interesting papers. I hope some of these get some publications someday. GIVE ME THAT BUS FANDOM PAPER!!! ; w; 9:38 AM · May 23, 2026

I did just say mpreg to the BBC last night.

There was one established local journo team that approached me to talk about fandom. It took a good afternoon, and somehow I didn't hear about its posting. It was never posted. I sometimes think about whether it's because they didn't hear the narrative they wanted to hear. More work to do.

A free preview of Battan's Secondhand Sisters (Chapter 1) is up on Kodansha's site https://kodansha.us/series/secondhand-sisters/

I am like running through emotional extremes and my friends have been good at tempering at least my seething anger over this neverending shitshow surrounding BL.

The beauty of the genre is that it has always given its artists this range. The diversity in BL narratives makes the genre amazing and exciting. Policing it to conform to some "standard" rips the power of this highly transformative genre.

I swear it's always bl artists that have RANGE

There's a part where @redstringtl.bsky.social made an interesting point at the space about the quality of manga printing in Japan and the heavy export costs that come with it. The ways different publishers navigate printing for such a limited resource (paper!) is often overlooked by consumers.

Listening in on a space on Twitter on the Media Do acquisition, and while I have a number of things to say, I am of the saddest hearts to think that whatever good Seven Seas will do in the next few months, Media Do's actions will screw them over.

Laughing at someone talking about a convo at Kuma's Citrust Con panel and how their editor's choices to be too niche to sell. I think their editor's doing a great job but I guess readers who share the same taste (like me) have always occupied the bad side of the BL hell 🤣

Ending the day with that one thing that has been keeping me alive.

Somehow, in my lecture on local revitalization, I had an opportunity to talk about Iwami and Free!. Then I missed the days when things were fun and simple. ; w; I also missed KyoAni.

belated happy horse year

My box is finally here but now I just want to roll around my books and read. 🤣

I will migrate to Malaysia if animateKL hires me as their procurement officer for BL manga. LET ME MAKE A FLOOR FILLED WITH BL MANGA like how it is in every animate all over asia.

The body forced me to be a potato yesterday and I am happy I did. Felt bad that I had to cancel my classes but I was really out of it yesterday.

Part 2 of a double blog post update~ I talk about the reviews I got on my BL doujinshi from actual BL manga editors from publishers Homesha and Takeshobo . It was super helpful and a great learning experience! breezebl.wordpress.com/2026/01/28/m...

My First Encounter with The Traveling Editorial Department

Please check my Intro to the Traveling Editorial Department post before reading this entry for context! I’ve been wanting to get some feedback on my work for a while! So mochikomi has been on the b…

New blog post up! Last weekend, I visited The Traveling Editorial Department at a doujinshi convention. It's where you can submit your work to manga editors and get a 1-on-1 critique for free. I explain the preparation and process of doing this in my post breezebl.wordpress.com/2026/01/28/i...

People at work have been telling me to slow down. I want to slow down badly, tbh. I have been telling people to get me more sick so that I can slow down and finally devolve into a potato.

The way Asada Nemui's rambling has now spiraled to salty men about the loose regulations surrounding BL. *popcorn.gif*

My spark of a translation baby is available for preorder if you are interested in some lusty Nakamura Asumiko BL!

Luggages are in the clear! i didn't buy more books 🥹 but one luggage threatened not to close.

New Filipino BL comic!!! I’ve been anticipating this one for a while, and wow, the high school nostalgia hit me hard while reading lol. It’s an academic rivals-to-lovers story, available in both English and Tagalog, and the artist is planning monthly updates 🫶

Being Filipino feels extra special right now. Seeing Filipino creatives gaining international attention for their queer works makes my heart so full 🥹💞 This kind of representation truly matters to us. Here's to more in 2026!

Got to put on my socks and get that DaVinci BL issue

i made a guide on how to write, draw, and print a doujinshi/fanzine/whatever you want to call it. this is a crash course on literally everything i know about making doujinshi. it's over 40 pages long. i hope you like it. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Some things I love about NDL: being able to borrow weekly/monthly manga magazines. It is one thing to do it for research (😘👌) It is another to see regular people just read the month's issue to update themselves without having to buy the series.

I was today years old when I discovered Harada had a collaboration with Tenga last year. 😭 Harada. The eroerobl god that she is. x.com/i/status/189...

I love how asada nemui is just as unhinged as her stories on twitter.
