I got into BL at a time when I was struggling to accept my own sexuality, and I never could’ve known that reading manga/manhwa at the time would lead to BL being such a big part of my life now.

“Cooking Crush” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12) [Cut Version]

I’ll be honest from the beginning. This is not going to be a very positive review. If you’re an OffGun fan who loved the show and don’t want to read anything negative about it, I would suggest to stop reading this review right now.

“I Feel You Linger in the Air” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)

I saw a comment on my first impressions of “I Feel You Linger in the Air”, pointing out that I had given it 5/5 stars, which was rare for The BL Xpress, and personally, quite rare for me too. I had been sure about it then, but I did start to think about whether I had been too optimistic. Was I getting caught up in my feelings and giving it too much credit, seeing the show through rose coloured glasses?
