some queer(-coded) manga characters for pride month. was gonna post this way sooner but goddamn did i procrastinate colors. atp i’ve given up so here’s lineart bc i actually kinda liked this piece (ignore tamaki’s nonexistent hand it’s in the void)

additionally, here’s the part i did cover

Characters included this piece:

-Kou Minamoto & Mitsuba Sousuke (Toiet Bound Hanako-kun

-Kyuusaku “Q” Yumeno (Bungo Stray Dogs)

-Toga Himiko (My Hero Academia)

-Haruka “Sailor Uranus” Tenoh (Sailor Moon)

And a couple things:

For the love of watermelon please don’t go into the comments about whether these characters are queer or not.

Characters put in pairs are not implied to be dating.

‘Queer’ does not just mean gay/bi, it also includes characters implied to be trans or at least not cis

Happy pride month to those who can have dairy and those who can’t

[pixelandstars]

Don't you think is kinda strange that in the anime they included Nakano x Izumi moments??

I mean. It was clear that Kou had a crush on her but in the manga he didn't show that much interest or at least I didn't notice.

-Twittering Birds Never Fly-

Yashiro, the ruthlessly efficient leader of the yakuza group Shinsekai, is also a brazen sexual deviant and masochist. Having been hurt by the only person he had ever fallen in love with, he now engages in strictly physical relationships.

One day, Yashiro's superior assigns Chikara Doumeki, a recently released prisoner, to the role of Yashiro's new bodyguard. The stoic and observant Doumeki is also clumsy and impotent, much to Yashiro's dismay. Although Yashiro has a personal policy to not get involved with his subordinates, he finds himself strangely drawn to Doumeki, who keeps denying his advances. Despite his refusals, Doumeki finds Yashiro beautiful and wishes to stay by his side, yet he knows that he will never be able to satisfy his boss. As the two grow closer, their complicated pasts slowly begin to reveal themselves. Will their histories get in the way of their emergent feelings?

Shungiku Nakamura importance

Shungiku Namakura is a mangaka who started her career in 1998 with Yaoi stories. She is signed in the manga topic with a lot of famous stories like Junjou Romantica (Pure Hearted Romance), the Junjou Romantica spin-off called Sekaiichi Hatsukoi (The World's Greatest First Love) and Hybrid Child. Her manga stories also have age gaps between the couples.

However, she is coy about her art style even it's still being a big influence in the manga arts nowaday.

Hybrid Child

The history is about three couples. There are android childrens and their owners who afterward fell in love with them. Also, all the couples are connected in some way that we could call fate. Hybrid Child is for the tragedy-hearted lovers, since it has moments when the characters need to face the death.

Junjou Romantica

It's the most famous Shungiku Nakamura's manga. Release in 2002, Junjou Romantica is about adult lovers. The couple's stories are divided by Junjou Romantica (Misaki Takahashi and Akihiko Usami), Junjou Egoist (Hiroki Kamijou and Nowaki Kusama), Junjou Terrorist (Yoh Miyagi and Shinobu Takatsuki) and Junjou Mistake (Ryuuichiro Isaka Kaoru Asahina).

The first couple apresented for the reader is the Misaki and Akihiko. In the beginning Misaki discovered that Akihiko was in love with his brother and he feels pity for Akihiko since his brother is going to marry in a stable relationship.

Sekaiichi Hatsukoi

The story scenario is in the Shoujo manga publishing with the main couples being Ritsu Onodera+Masamune Takano, Shouta Kisa+kou Yukina, and Chiaki Yoshino+Yoshiyuki Hatori.

Since Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is a Junjou Romantica's spin-off there's easter-eggs mixed in the chapters.

After all, why Shungiku Nakamura is important for the Yaoi community?

The answer is: she is a tremendous phenomenom. And when we are talking about he 2000s this is very significant. Some years earlier, in 90s the public was debating about the Yaoi stories and if it could be an awful thing for the present and future.

Nevertheless, after the Internet boom between 95 and 00 years the Yaoi content started being acessible for the mass and reached overseas like America and Europe. Shungiku Nakamura was the precursors Yaoi mangas that touched the hearts with her light, romantic and dramatical love stories.

Finally, her manga is still on top sellers and a big inspiration for the current Yaoi manga (especially her art style).

Shungiku Nakamura will always be a good reading for everyone who loves good romance with some angst. There's no better advice than recommending a Shungiku Nakamura love story.

Thank you for reading this far :).
