The BL Nook

I’ll start! My BL journey didn’t start with manhwa. It began with TV shows. You know the type: I was always way more invested in the gay side characters than the main plot. Or I’d find myself saying, “This show would be so much better if they had at least one gay character!”

Then I stumbled across BL anime. I set a personal goal to watch every single title I could find (which, unfortunately, didn’t take long). I did what any determined fangirl would do, I dug deep, researched harder, and dove headfirst into the rabbit hole.

That’s when I discovered Hyperventilation. And OMG it was a masterpiece. I instantly looked into the creators, which led me straight to ABJ Company. Cue my next life-altering find: Mignon. Another masterpiece. I was hooked.

I started stalking *ahem following them on social media and came across a promo that I assumed was another anime. But plot twist! It was for a manhwa called Under the Greenlight. I hauled ass to Tapas, binged Season 1 in one sitting, and sat there stunned. It was so good.

Then came the biggest lightbulb moment: some of the animated shorts I had already loved like 4 Week Lovers and Semantic Error were manhwas too. From that moment on, there was no going back. I had officially become a manhwa addict, and I’ve been happily spiraling ever since.

Please let me know in the comments how you got into BL, I would love to hear your stories!
