Bride Snatching / Kidnapped Bride

Black Bird fits, although I get the sense it may not be exactly what you're looking for (it has a fantasy setting with yokai and the kidnapping is necessary for plot reasons.)

Do you think BLs well represents homosexuality?
(12 posts, 561 views) Posted: 3 months ago by AquarianDemocrat in Yaoi/Yuri
That strikes me as a fundamentally inane question. Almost all BL manga is written by straight women for other straight women. Yaoi communities online are communities for women. Gay men have their own communities, and indeed their own genre of manga called Bara. A better q...

Oh Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou might be it. You just unlocked a memory for me that she has a lot of really long and wordy author's notes, and occasionally adds chibi images to them.
Here's one more long shot suggestion too: Gals! has some very funny author's notes where she ta...

Am I fetishizing gay/lesbian couples?

Your sister is homophobic.
As to if you're fetishizing gay/lesbian couples... does it matter? I don't think what manwha you read in privacy on your own affects anyone else. Enjoy what you like and don't let anyone try to stop you.

Never understood the hate toward aggregator sites. They helped make manga mainstream in the west by making it accessible. In the end, that has driven a huge increase in manga and associated merchandise sales in the west. It's largely a symbiotic relationship.

You have zero understanding of Japanese if you think a MTL is equivalent to an actual translation.

I highly recommend Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou. I read this at my local library at that age and loved it. It contains a lot of good life lessons as well.

Yes, this is definitely Love Hina, but the three girls aren't sisters. They're just friends. Naru, the main girl, is a tsundere red head. The lazy girl is her older friend who just gambles and drinks all day. The younger friend is a cool beauty.

manga with a villian/evil/psychopathic MC

Well, I think calling the main character a villain is an over simplification, but she is a sadist with a twisted personality.
Anne Freaks
There is some romance in this story, but the main characters are both unrepentant murderers. They are certainly psychopathic.
