Because traps/cross-dressers are in lately. (& I have no problem with that.) As much as I’d love to kick off the “genre” with a BL or trap manga, I think I’ll try easing people into it (in hopes of recruiting followers to the interest, hurhur.) So, that being said, this is a great cross-dressing themed shoujo manga. Good art (shoujo style of course) with some interesting characters & some funny situations. (Even the side character related oneshots are good.) If you’d like to read something “relatively/barely” serious that will make you laugh, this is a good one. I think everyone should be able to enjoy it (& I hope you do).

Hinata decides to go out with him anyway, despite his weird hobby.” - Baka-Updates

I had actually been avoiding this one for years because when I read it in middle school, I wasn't very into it. But I figured I had to give it another chance & started rereading it a few months back. That was one of the best choices I've ever made, lol. It's ana amazing story. Long, very entertaining, & extremely well written/illustrated. It's comical yet serious with great art. The name fits it perfectly. So, if you've yet to read this one; I definately recommend it. It's probably in my top 10.

Daily BL

For today's BL I'm actually recommending a mangaka's complete works (-3 older hetero works) which are all FMA doujin. Most are Ed x Al (in the alternate world) but there are a few Ed x Roy. The art is, well, indescribably beautiful. I had a hard time picking a cover to share, lol. The stories are also amazing(ly sexy and beautiful) and some tie into each other. All the scanned works can be downloaded at Scan-Clan (the scanners). I Hope you enjoy them.

Today's manga is one of the funniest, greatest, most crazy mangas I've ever read. I'm also recommending the anime, for it is amazing as well! What's it about? A young man, pursuing an agricultural career who can see and speak with germs! I learned quite a few scary things from this one, including the existence of a food known as Kiviak... Enjoy! (lol.)

So today's manga is a new release and one of my absolute favorite mangas. I found it one day in Kinokuniya when I was caught by an image of one of my favorite creatures, a jellyfish, on the cover of "Kiss" magazine. I ended up buying the thing and getting myself addicted to this and one other story in the magazine. The art is great and the story is just hilarious. The name translates to "Jellyfish Princess". You can see why I grabbed it, na? xD Well! Hope you all enjoy it!
