New Poll - Live Streaming Scanlators
(15 posts, 1413 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by ForeignerChan in News
I've actually watched a live stream of a scanlation process before but it's something I normally wouldn't do. I mean, it can be interesting to see how a scanlator works, but probably I wouldn't watch a live stream of that sort more than once. So my answer is: nope....

New Poll - Kill Or Be Killed
(16 posts, 1450 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by ForeignerChan in News
Just try to keep running away. I've chosen this one, but I think that would make me go crazy because I would have to watch my back constantly. I would probably become as obsessed and paranoiac as Shuichi Saito in Uzumaki.

I rarely use social media, but if I find an author I like, I'll follow him/her, though I don't check on them often to see if something new is out.

New Poll - First Chapter Enough?
(17 posts, 1360 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by ForeignerChan in News
It really depends. I remember dropping a series after a couple of chapters (can we really say "dropping" when I couldn't even finish the first volume?), but I usually read more than one chapter even if the first one isn't mind-blowing.

New Poll - Would You Rather
(26 posts, 1616 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by ForeignerChan in News
Excuding the first two options, I'm surprised that most people would prefer a good looking spouse who hates anime/manga. I'm not implying that looks are absolutely unimportant, in fact the first thing we notice when we meet someone new is their physical appearence and tha...

New Poll - Aliens
(19 posts, 1514 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by ForeignerChan in News
I only believe in what I can see with my own two eyes.
In other words, we don't know and we can't totally exclude the possibility of a different life form living in the great unexplored part of the universe. But I will only start BELIEVING in "aliens" when we will have def...

I've been looking for that kind of manga for a long long time too, but in the end I could find none.
My recommendation: you should turn towards novels. There are a couple of really good novels on Tapas (e.g. Looking for Derek). I think novels are the only option you have ...

New Poll - Waifu / Husbando

I will start by saying that I don't want to argue with you and that I'm just trying to express my opinion.
I don't think age is a justification for that kind of behaviour. I'm 21 and I consider myself still young. Love and sex are in my mind too, but I don't go around pair...

It pains me to see those characters reduced, by fans of a show, to nothing more than lovebait garbage like this.

Transparent Cohabitation was very nice. It's a Korean webtoon and you can read the full translation on Line Webtoon.

Totally agree. If the translation isn't accurate and readable, there's just no point in reading it.

I'm one of those people who usually start a manga only if it's completed and fully scanlated. I'll tell you my reasons for doing that (but keep in mind that other people might have other motives):

I'm trying for the last time, since I'm still looking for a good shounen-ai. I'm looking for something original, delicate, where the characters slowly come to know each other and build a relationship, a coming-of-age story. Just like Guang Xiang.

advanced search suggestion

I would also add the "only show manga on my lists" option. And I would add the possibility to tick more than one field (sometimes I want to search only for manhua and manhwa).

BTW, let me know if you like Guang Xiang or not. Even if you end up not liking it, I'd like to hear your opinion. If not here, through a PM. Well, only if you want, of course

I'm in the same boat as you. I've just written a topic about it here. As you explained, in most of the yaoi manga out there the relashionships seem to be based on sex more than anything else.
