SINCE I COULD DIE TOMORROW—FINITUDE IN PRESENCE OF LIFE

This is a post I previously published for a very short period of time and then deleted. I decided to publish it permanently after thinking about vulnerability and Sumako Kari, but having no backup, I had to rewrite it as I remember it. So here I am, rambling once again about Since I Could Die Tomorrow by Sumako Kari. There will be mentions of death and terminal illness here and there, and lots of…

Hi, I'm the anon that asked your twitter BL challenge...thanks so much for the link....🤩

Can I ask for BL recs if my favorite BLs (until now) are : "Complex" by Ringo Manda, "Kieta Hatsukoi" by Wataru Hinekure, "Therapy Game" by Meguru Hinohara, "Here U Are" by Djun, "Blanc" by Asumiko Nakamura and "Harukaze no Etranger" by Kanna Kil?

Sorry if it seems weird, I try to pick a certain topic but I became confused myself as what should I pick (enemies to lovers, childhood friend, etc)......Also I'm sorry if my fav are not so diverse yet....And thanks again for your BL reviews, it helps me a lot for a newcomer like me....

Welcome back ~ It warms my heart to hear that my reviews are of help ^^ I haven't read some of the series you mentioned, but from the ones I did you seem to enjoy softer BL's that are plot and/or character-driven. I'll add links to my reviews if I have written on them, and apologize beforehand that I rarely buy singular volumes of BL so most of the titles will be from Futekiya (a monthly subscription service that releases BL only, the first chapters of the series in their library are free to read). Let's go!

Here and There and Us (Thanat) and Blue Sky Complex (Ichikawa Kei): Opposites-attract, high school friends who continue to date after graduation, long distance relationship for a while. I haven't read Blanc, have only seen Doukyusei but trope-wise, they sound similar! Both are exceptional works so I think they might be a good fit for you as well.

The Trees in Spring (Nakaoka Naka) and Setagaya Synchronicity (Hongo Chika): Both focus on soul/identity searching, coming to terms with the self. I've written on The Trees in Spring before but can vouch for both.

Some more favorites:

Twilight Out of Focus (Jyanome): To read // Review

All That Pierces the Heart (Sumako Kari): To read

Paint Love and the Colors Will Bloom (Shota Kon): To read

Living With Him (Toworu Miyata): To read

I'll Make You Cry (Nozomu Hiiragi): To read // Very brief review

Lullaby of the Dawn (Ichika Yuno): To read (also on Futekiya)

I linked Bookwalker pages but ShuCream and Kodansha have many other platform options so you can go to the publisher's webpage to find a website/means to buy that fits you. Futekiya titles are only in their library, although recently Seven Seas recently announced that they are going to re-release some of Suzumaru Minta's works both in print and in digital since Futekiya is digital-only. If you have any other questions, you can message me any time and let me know what you thought of them if you get to read any of them! Have a nice day.

76. Since I Could Die Tomorrow, Vol. 4 - licensed - In this final volume, Honna and her old school friends deal with eldercare, dodging MLM recruitment, switching jobs in your 40s, fibroid surgery, and a partner's cancer progression, and through it all show that it's never too late to seize the day.

67. Since I Could Die Tomorrow, Vol. 3 - licensed - One of the trio is left shocked when her mother has a stroke, reversing their dynamic. Another is resisting the urge to cheat on her absent husband by reading her daughter's BL collection. And our MC leaves her job and falls in something like love.
