why is BL this way

and why am I this way, picking up like 5 volumes of something i kinda like and then pulling myself through them just to put a cap on it? my refusal to DNF things and how fast I read manga is really a bad mix.

anyhow. I made it. I'd expected it to be quite different because it came recommended to me, but really it's all the same nonsense in this weird genre. i was more into this one's genre-awareness & humour, as well as plot & characters: Izumi being a miserable artist but using his acting talent to streamline his way into his (deluded) dream of working on manga...but that was dropped so suddenly in the last volume with no resolution or development, which was a huge bummer. Once we hit the 70% mark of the series and it was diverted by a nonsense amnesia plot I was like [rubs temples] "don't do this to me, i stuck with you through SO much, please don't"

but it did. I can shelve this as an "asked, and answered" kind of series.

rei was so very good though
