Since you're the god of BL, who are your top 3 mangakas and your top 10 BL manga (cause top 3 is just too restrictive); for (i) ongoing and (ii) completed stories?
Thank you for being a generous soul and allowing me to name 10 top mangas each from ongoing and completed! But I still had to trim the list so much and it killed my heart every time I had to pick one favourite over the other. But here it is finally, my top mangas in no particular order:
3) Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai
8) Kashikomarimashita, Destiny
·:·.☽✧Honourable mentions✧☾.·:·.
These mangas got a sequel so technically they're still ongoing but since only 1 or 2 chapters of the new volume are out at the moment and I'm waiting to see where the story goes, I just put the first volumes in a different category.
As for my favourite mangakas, again this was a very difficult choice for me! Gosh, there's so many mangakas whose works I absolutely adore: Zaria, Scarlet Beriko, Suzumaru Minta, Yusen Atsuko, Ogawa Chise, Nekota Yonezou, Kanda Neko etc. but since I can only name TOP 3:
Yamamoto Kotetsuko, Ichikawa Kei and Ogeretsu Tanaka.
If you'd asked me this question last year, I'd have definitely mentioned Yoneda Kou. But lately, I'm not happy with her writing choices in Saezuru (making Yashiro "forget" Doumeki, having them go their separate ways) and Rainy Days, Yesterday, the only other new manga she's done in years, was not up to scratch imo.
Needless to say, this list is very subjective and based on my tastes & preferences alone. Did I mention any of your favourites? Is there any manga or artist that you’d strongly recommend me to try?
