reaction: dog style - motoni modoru (manga, BL)

[piranha]

i don't really have words right now but i wanted to write this down before i go to sleep.

i am a wreck. i thought my heart was gonna break. what a fantastic roller-coaster. it's complex, honest, tough, stubborn, witty, boyish, aggressive, silly, unpredictable, erotic, deeply emotional, and completely original. i don't cry easily, but i'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face, and i can't stop. was this really just 3 volumes? these people became my friends. i sat in that abandoned building with them, and i bled with them. i don't want to leave. i might just read it again right away. or go to sleep in the hopes i'll dream about it.

on a scale of 1 to 10 this is an 11. this is a story that is everything i read BL for and find so very rarely. i will buy several copies and give them to my friends, even the ones who don't usually read BL. and i'll write my first ever fan letter to a mangaka.

本仁戻 = 元に戻る. It's not a hilarious pun or anything, but I like how it sounds like it could be a name because it has the right sounds (many family names start with moto and many end with ni, and there are many given names that are verbs), but it's so clearly not a name anyone would ever have.

Another pseud I like (which is totally lost in the English writing of it) is Est Em, which is supposed to be えすとえむ = S&M. But I don't think anyone reading her in translation is going to get that from Est Em.

oh cool. it sounded a bit unusual, but i don't know enough about names yet to tell whether it really was.

i did catch the est em one! but i do always look at the names in japanese, and there it's real obvious, *snrk*. BL has expanded my vocabulary in unusual directions.
