Also very well known for the anime adaptation. I have written and talked about Dakaichi. It's one of my favourite BL anime. The anime is so fun to watch. So when I saw that Futekiya has the manga license and translated it into English, I can finally read it properly fully. I did buy the Japanese (original) copy on Renta (Japanese site).

Listen to my review on MADK by Ryo Suzuri Vol.1 | Sublime Manga | 43 Episode [MADK by Ryo Suzuri Vol.1 | Sublime Manga | 43 Episode  

I managed to finish reading MADK vol 2. I have reviewed the first volume and I was intrigued by the twisted storyline and bizarre world. It definitely a BL a manga that is controversial. I actually was hooked for the first volumes. I was dissipating what will happen next in volume two. With the relationship between Makoto and the demon. 

On the second volume. It was mainly about the plot and mako wanted to get revenge on the duke demon. But at the same time, he wants to hug and be near him. The Duke J demon actually know that Makoto is plotting against him and he is just amused by him. Makoto what to find out the Duke J real name, the name holds significant effect. That can overpower demons. I was expecting to read or see more relationship dynamics between Mako And Duke J. But they hardly interact.

Recently I have been getting so many recommendations of manga haul/ manga collecting videos. I don’t normally watch them because I’m not really interested in anyone manga collection unless in related to BL. But I saw this particular video talking about five mistakes to avoid when buying manga. I watched it out of curiosity and it was actually interesting. It had given me the inspiration to talk about this topic for this podcast. I have talked with Tao about budgeting on episode 90. 

It seems that collecting manga is much more than collecting than I thought. I mainly buy manga spontaneously.  Don’t have a goal, I don’t record my spending nor list them on a spreadsheet. 

Why does everyone go on about setting goals for buying manga? I just randomly buy and buy manga when the time is right. I do have a few pieces of advice I could give for beginners or those who want to find some good BL manga. 

Un hauling - a term I never heard of but basic means to remove or pass on your manga by selling or donating them. Which I sort of doing some time when I have moved on for a manga and I want to get rid of the old and be in the new. 

Highly recommend reading manga online or buying manga digitally. Especially a series you want to get into but don’t have the space and want to invest too much into it. 

Online library subscription-like Futekiya is a fantastic library site where you can read over 100 BL titles for a very small subscription fee per month. (Or any plan you choose for your budget) 

It is good to have some print and some digital. Because there is a lot of manga you may not feel you want to own a physical copy but want to read it any so digital copy or digital library is the very best. Plus it is far cheaper and convenient.

Renta is a great website for Buying and reading BL/Yaoi manga. You can chapter or rent them. 

EbookRenta! - Rent Low-Priced Licensed Manga - https://www.ebookrenta.com/

Visiting the library is very good to read manga for reading. And to check out the manga, so if you really like the manga you will buy it. I use to go to the library a lot back in the day. I use to read Loveless, my local library had a few volumes of Loveless. 

Recommended publishers to buy BL Manga:

Sublime Manga (vic)

Yen Press

Kuma (FAKKU)

Seven Sea 

Juné 

TOKYOPOP 

SQAURE EINX 

Irodori Sakura Comic (18+ Doujinshi) 

The anime: https://myanimelist.net/anime/440/Shoujo_Kakumei_Utena

I recently started to watch this anime, I just discovered on Funimation. It looks and sounds good. A classic shojo anime. It had everything I like and the artwork, drawing style is absolutely beautiful! the style is very much similar to my style of drawing. it naturally felt connected to it.  

I can’t skip the intro music, I love it. It’s so good. Normally I would skip intro but this anime I don’t. 

I like the relationship between Anthy and Utena, you know there is a special connection. it does feel like a yuir/GL. but I like the fact it is not conventional. 

I wish I had watched Revolutionary Girl Utena when I was younger but I think I wouldn’t understand the whole theme deeply as a child. I can tell the anime is surreal, fairytale-like (perhaps inspired by European art) 

Watching the Revolutionary Girl Utena feel very nostalgic, reminded me of much great anime I watched back in the 90s to early 20s. I felt the anime back then focused more on the plot and the character depth. It felt more high-quality animation because back then everything was hand-drawn. (Rarely used software) 

The anime is available to watch on Amazon prime or Funimation. I’m currently watching on Prime. I will consider buying the blue Ray dvd this month (or soon before Christmas) 

The anime was aired in spring 1997 (so i was 5 years old when this was released)
