What are your thoughts on the polygamy route of the couple in Maririn's comic "Finding Family"? Loved your video about the story, but I want to know your opinion behind this topic, especially since this kind of direction dont really end well in real life and such.
It's a difficult topic to tackle because it comes with complexity that gets magnified the more people involved. In fiction, it can be just as difficult because the dynamic between everyone is like a balancing act, and the more pieces to balance, the easier it is to fall apart. It's interesting to explore but easy to get wrong as well. The same way it is in real life because you have multiple autonomous minds making their own decisions and responses to each other, you gotta be careful with how you handle the characters. Otherwise one or more characters break away from what has been established for them and can shock the audience into being turned off. However that goes to show people that it isn't for everyone to do, and that's okay because it's not a requirement to live a life that someone wants to live.
Hello everyone! I'm back with a new video and just under the wire for pride month! This is one of the most wholesome Bara Manga I have read in a while and hope you all enjoy!
A loyal viewer of my channel has gifted me what is essentially the bible of Bara Manga! Thank you Phenex for giving me something that has been difficult to acquire everywhere I could find it!
I have returned from my unscheduled hiatus to bring a new video! This time around, it's a triple feature! Check out of the wacky stuff we got in this trilogy!
There is a lot to go over, so buckle your seatbelts. My husband has been working on a renovation project for his company to get a hotel open, and the company booked a group for a time that the hotel wouldn't be ready for service, but due to circumstances of decisions made by corporate executives they had to do everything to meet that deadline (including overtime around the clock). So my husband hired me on (among other people) to help out the best I could while trying to balance time for me to keep working on my videos. It quickly consumed all my time during the month leading up to the deadline, to the point that everything was paused outside of work (even things like groceries and laundry). Then, on top of that, we had to move into the apartment that the company was providing that we need to get into as soon as we could since the hotel we were staying was sold out and our reservation ended on the same weekend as the opening date (yes, complete insanity). So we worked around the clock to help get the hotel ready while also moving into our new apartment (which they were still working on making it habitable), and we managed to get in just before opening weekend.
There were many setbacks leading up to opening day that could've been avoided, but again, decisions were made by higher ups which they failed to deliver on time. So the crew scrambled to do whatever they could to meet the opening weekend, and let's just say that the hotel opened to a fizzling fiasco. So the weekend passes, and the hotel close down to finish up any of the unfinished work that was needed to completed. My husband checks to see how much PTO he had, so he can take time off to recover from the stressful Renovation project. He gets a phone call from HR, asking if everything is alright. He explains he just wanted to verify his PTO so he can take time off after the hotel is fully opened and running. Why does asking for time off means that something is wrong to HR? Am I the only person who notices that HR always assume that?
Shortly after that, my husband get put on admin leave after being asked about making phone calls to guests coming to the hotel the following weekend, which he has proof that he was, and he asked his assistant GM to help making some of the calls while he supported the renovation team with coordinating priorities. HR didn't like that, and the next day showed up with his severance package. I know there is a lot of details left out (because there is a lot that is too much for this post), but let's just say that it's a case of "rules for thee, but not for me". I also don't want to disclose too much since my husband has filed a claim to the labor board and the state attorney general, so I hope what I have said is enough to paint a picture for you.
So now we have to not only find new employment, but also need to find new housing. We already got a couple of leads going as soon as he got put on leave, and even a hail mary scenario in place if the worst should happen. This has been the most outrageous thing that has ever happened to us, and it feels like everything just crumbled over asking about time off. I don't even know what I should be doing except packing up as much as I can and hope we find new employment along with new housing in the 30 days we have been allotted. I can't even begin to describe where my mind is after watching everything we worked so hard for be stripped away from us. A lesson I have taken from this, besides learning the signs of empathetic manipulation, is HR asking if everything is alright after requesting time off is a big red flag.
I'm so sorry that I have to go on hiatus so soon after the holidays, but i need to do what i have to in order for my survival. I promise to return once we get things settled for our living and employment situation. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me with watching my videos, and subbing to my channel. I will continue working on writing scripts in my spare time to have them ready for when I can record again. I did manage to finish the video that I was working on during this crazy time just so I could get it done since I was half way through it, so I hope you enjoy it. If you feel inclined to help me out even further, I do have a Ko-Fi open for donations. It would mean the world if you do decide to donate, but I understand if you can't. If you read all the way to the end, put a 🤞in a comment on this post to wish us luck and to show me that you read all of this.
Thanks for reading, and hears to hoping for a brighter tomorrow.

A major update: There is a lot to go over, so buckle your seatbelts. My husband has been working on a renovation project for his company to
I'm back with a new one, and this time I'm striking while the iron is hot! I'm covering the new game that came out this year and many people were asking me to cover this. It's called XXL Woofia! So come see what all the fuss is about!
I'm back baby! This time around I'm covering a prolific artist within the Gei Komi Genre: Kazuhide Ichikawa! I found a two volume manga that he wrote called Fire Code. This is a very interesting one since it covers a rather uncommon occupation that you would think is more common in Gei Komi. Hope you enjoy!
I'm rather scrutinable towards the idea of conspiracy theories, but I can't help but notice that mutton chops are being placed on burly dudes more and more now... are they calling me out? I mean, I am someone with mutton chops who covers media with big burly hairy dudes... what's going on here? This feels like a signal...
Hello everyone! I have returned to bring you another video! This time, I go over a game that I've mentioned many times before but for some reason took me this long to actually make a video on: See No Evil! Hope you all enjoy!
Hello everyone! I'm back with yet another video of big beefy dudes! This time I'm going over two one shots that have a character tying them together! Kemono fans will be eating tonight. Hope you enjoy! (Its already age-restricted so sharing it about would be a great help!)
I have returned with a new video! In this one, I cover my favorite artist within this genre, Jiraiya! I delve into a short but very concise story of two men meeting on a chance encounter to improve each other's lives through their experiences. Hope you enjoy!
Hi everyone! I'm back with another video on a recommendation from a discord member! This is a fantastic story that I hope gets a proper ending that the author and artist needs to conclude! Hope you enjoy!
Yes, a niche genre within the medium of manga that I go into great detail in this handy video I made a while back. I do suggest checking out as I cover as much of its history, traits and distinctions from other genres in manga.
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a new Bara Manga video! Yes, I have returned to bring you more manga reviews after some unexpected life events, and do I got one for you! Come check it out!
