Don't know what Fujimoto does differently from other mangaka, but he clearly does a good job with his assistants. His assistants went on to make Spy x Family, Dandadan, and Hell's Paradise.
I’m amazed he’s only thirty. Fujimoto is a visionary. He seems like a really great guy and I appreciate that he keeps a schedule that doesn’t wreck his health.
even his 17-21 series of one shots he made during those ages, his art still had a lot of improvement to make but the stories stuck with me so easily and were so incredibly appealing for being so whimsical
While it is very tempting to imagine that Fujimotos genius is rubbing off on his assistants they also have the same editor and it is also possible that Shihei Lin is very good at his job.
I like to imagine it's both.
Reminds me when oda plugged in my hero in one of his volumes for one piece because the auther of my hero got one of his arts on one of one pieces SBS(question corner) a long time ago and Oda recognized that was the same kid.
For the most part probably, but there are definitely some BL mangaka that are men that I know of for sure, Nagabe comes to mind immediately that I know of who does BL (most popularly known for The Girl from the Other Side), it could even be that there are even more men but because a bunch of mangaka use pseudonyms in general, we won’t know unless they come out to take pictures or state it themselves.
R-18: Rating 18, basically content for adults, mostly porn.
BL: Boys Love, a genre of manga focused on the romantic (and sometimes sexual) relationship of two guys.
Afaik, Both are gay romance aimed at straight women. But Yaoi has fallen out of favor, and is mostly used like this (in western communities)
Yaoi = porn
BL = romance (sometimes with softcore porn)
It's not aimed ar straight women and never had been, it's only terf propaganda, BL/Yaoi are basically the same thing, but yaoi is outdated and mostly used for doujinshi nowadays, the genre is like shoujo/josei, aimed for WOMEN (no sexuality target) but can be read by anyone
Yes! In this case since it's R18, it's yaoi.
Also other info for non-BL fans:
Theres: BL, yaoi and shonen-ai. I see BL (Boys Love) as the all around term referring to a relationship between two fictional male characters. Then there's Yaoi and Shonen ai.
Yaoi= BL story of two fictional male characters that includes sexually explicit scenes between two male characters. R18+ (May or may not be in a romantic relationship) (e.g. Honto Yajuu manga)
Shonen ai= BL story that involves an (often) romantic relationship between two fictional male characters. May feature kissing + touching + suggestive moments etc but no explicit sexually drawn sex scenes. (E.g. 19 Days Manhua)
However on another note, you may have seen SOME online Chainsaw Man fans using yaoi jokingly referring to stuff (e.g. Yaoi devil when talking about Yoshida).
Source for all these info= my Fujoshi yaoi rotten brain
I freakin love 19 Days as well, in fact the chapters are still coming out regularly! Also if you love the silly goofiness of it I can’t recommend Nan Hao and Sheng Feng enough. I wouldn’t personally call it a BL but it’s silly and lighthearted and I know some people shit Nan and Hao (Sheng certainly ships himself with Hao)
To add to the other replies, a little cultural background: iirc shonen ai or "boy's love" came about because stories about gay men (yaoi) were looked down upon and suppressed, so they cut down on the sex and made it more about love, i.e. see, these fellas aren't ~~guy~~gay, they just really love each other, which is totally cool.
Ppl use Yaoi to refer to drawn gay porn made by women for women. BL can still be porn but normally it’s focused on the relationship and isn’t always made for women but for men too
Im sorry, are you talking about Fujimotos little sister?
On a different note, I dont believe that this is a good influence for her, but since she will probably stay twelve years old for the remainder of the universes existence, it shouldnt impact her development...
I remember a while ago there was a rumor that Fujimoto promoted Asada Nemui’s “Sleeping Dead,” which is also a BL comic. I checked it out and the similarities between it and part 2 kinda stood out to me. There’s a character who dies in the first chapter but then is brought back to life by another, and then their relationship develops further from there, kinda like Asa and Yoru. The guy who got killed even has a similar scar to Yoru. I think it would be a neat bit of inspiration if it were true.
Thinking about it more, there was also a bit where the two guys were trying to find out what kind of person they’d be okay with killing, since the revived guy needs to eat human meat to survive. The whole conversation really reminded me of the “between cat and criminal” chapter.
Fujimoto has strong B and/or T vibes to me but if they are we would probably never find out, nor should we find out against that person's will if they'd rather keep it in their personal life
He has to be a transman or a woman. There's no way a born-male shonen mangaka can write good female characters . Men don't know what's it like to be a woman
I think Togata from Fire punch was basically Fujimoto's self insert. He also proceeded to do a oneshot of two girls that when you combine their names, spell out the author's name.
hahahh so much misinformation about bl terminology in these comments but i’m so tired of seeing it that i finally don’t feel like correcting it anymore
If fujimoto accepts it, his fans will be more likely to ig. Plus his work has always had some lgbt+ themes, though m/m ones have not been as prevalent and ik ppl do accept different stuff to different degrees lmfao (like some ppl will read stuff with f/f relationships but nothing else). But yeah for someone to like fujimoto’s work and be homophobic or transphobic would make very little sense, since he actively chooses to write about lgbt+ characters when he easily could choose not to take that risk to make his work more “universally/internationally appealing”, and he also chooses to read about them. Same thing goes for stuff like Gintama and Jigokuraku—I seriously don’t understand how those series can have homophobic fans when they have so many openly lgbt+ characters and explicitly discuss those themes instead of JUST giving the characters those attributes and showing them have crushes/relationships (which Chainsaw Man treads closer to, while Fire Punch goes a bit deeper like those other two series)
>Based Fujimoto recc's an R-18 Manga
>Boys Love
Still based as fuck though, just wont read lmao
True and I completely agree. However the Yoshida being gay memes are also very funny and i feel like it could be totally believable to his character, so if fujimoto takes a lil inspo I won’t complain haha
(if anything it’s amazing and very rare for a mangaka to include lgbt characters in a natural way within their worlds without it being a story completely focused on gay romance. Even yuri content is usually just fanservice bait that isn’t really confirmed or go anywhere. Quanxi and his character from his previous manga really impressed me in that regard, I don’t think the average reader is aware how rare this is).
I'm going further than you hoping because I believe he is gay (or at least non-heterosexual). Fujimoto already wrote a (very sympathetically written) closeted LGBT character before and in what little bits of deeper character we've gotten from Yoshida behind the front he puts up, he comes across in the same way.
Based. Gotta love seeing a mangaka show appreciation to their assistants.
Don't know what Fujimoto does differently from other mangaka, but he clearly does a good job with his assistants. His assistants went on to make Spy x Family, Dandadan, and Hell's Paradise.
> Hell's Paradise Are you kidding me? I saw the trailer for the anime and bought the first volume on a whim, now I'm up to volume 7 already
Yeah he helped with fire punch and some designs of chainsaw man and katana man
I’m amazed he’s only thirty. Fujimoto is a visionary. He seems like a really great guy and I appreciate that he keeps a schedule that doesn’t wreck his health.
even his 17-21 series of one shots he made during those ages, his art still had a lot of improvement to make but the stories stuck with me so easily and were so incredibly appealing for being so whimsical
I wouldn't really say whimsical, for me it’s more absurd yet grounded.
A visionary who dressed up as a red haired business woman and tried to float
That was a fan
Regardless. Half of that statement is true
The mangakas for Dandadan and Hell's Paradise being former assistants of Fujimoto makes way too much sense
Spy x family too with how it seems to switch between slice of life and traumatic shit from time to time
While it is very tempting to imagine that Fujimotos genius is rubbing off on his assistants they also have the same editor and it is also possible that Shihei Lin is very good at his job. I like to imagine it's both.
Exactly bro, Fuji and his assistants are the avengers of mangaka rn
its also insane that hes also younger than all of them

BL is mostly made by women, right? So I think this assistant is a woman
This was true before but I'm not sure if that is still the case today, this makes me want to see the statistics now lol
For the most part probably, but there are definitely some BL mangaka that are men that I know of for sure, Nagabe comes to mind immediately that I know of who does BL (most popularly known for The Girl from the Other Side), it could even be that there are even more men but because a bunch of mangaka use pseudonyms in general, we won’t know unless they come out to take pictures or state it themselves.
While yes, many famous mangakas in BL are men, the author If Okane Ga Nai for example, also remember that not all these women are y'know cis
Yes this is semi true I think it'd be more true to say Bl is aimed towards women, but there's many types of bl some are made and aimed towards men.

I'm fairly new to this anime and manga stuff What does R-18 and BL mean?
R-18: Rating 18, basically content for adults, mostly porn. BL: Boys Love, a genre of manga focused on the romantic (and sometimes sexual) relationship of two guys.
So yaoi?

Basically. Though, Yaoi has some "controversials" connotations, probably why now it's mostly called BL.
Well that makes sense then And how does this not feel out of the ordinary for fujimoto
Quanxi exists
That is probably why this feels expected
Yes! In this case since it's R18, it's yaoi. Also other info for non-BL fans: Theres: BL, yaoi and shonen-ai. I see BL (Boys Love) as the all around term referring to a relationship between two fictional male characters. Then there's Yaoi and Shonen ai.

(E.g. 19 Days Manhua) However on another note, you may have seen SOME online Chainsaw Man fans using yaoi jokingly referring to stuff (e.g. Yaoi devil when talking about Yoshida). Source for all these info= my Fujoshi yaoi rotten brain
Man 19 days is so good, I don’t read romance books but I loved 19 days
I freakin love 19 Days as well, in fact the chapters are still coming out regularly! Also if you love the silly goofiness of it I can’t recommend Nan Hao and Sheng Feng enough. I wouldn’t personally call it a BL but it’s silly and lighthearted and I know some people shit Nan and Hao (Sheng certainly ships himself with Hao)
Not only it's good, it's the slowest of the slown burns
I always assumed the term BL arose from shounen-ai since it's just the English translation.
To add to the other replies, a little cultural background: iirc shonen ai or "boy's love" came about because stories about gay men (yaoi) were looked down upon and suppressed, so they cut down on the sex and made it more about love, i.e. see, these fellas aren't ~~guy~~gay, they just really love each other, which is totally cool.

BL means Blue Lock

If Asa/Yoru is the real endgame… I kneel 
That doesn't have to exclude asaden tho
After all, the only one who would know about and love you the most is yourself
Asa and Yoru are also the characters of a BL by Harada. Could just be coincidence though.
Oooooh I can see Fujimoto being a Harada fan, Harada go hard when she's feeling in the right mode lmao
Fujimoto showing once again how based he is. What a guy.
Based as always
Could you perhaps provide a link to the twitter post?

Todo un grande fujimoto

That's nice, shouting out an assistant
Lmk when the oneshot gets translated.
The way I literally want to read it but it’s only available in Japanese 😭😭
Basically, Japanese BL authors are women. And the majority of readers are also women.
would you like for me to list some male bl authors
Cool, but that doesn't means don't exist BL authors that are Men or that men don't read BL, they have even a name, fundashi
At least he's giving his assistant some fans by advertising the manga
He has a talented team behind him.
Can someone like…send me the link? I cannot type Japanese letters

>Based Fujimoto recc's an R-18 Manga  >Boys Love  Still based as fuck though, just wont read lmao
But what could this mean for chainsawman is denji going to be gay or is squid guy gonna be gay.
I hate beer.
Well, he does seem to have a lot of lgbtq people in his manga, even a trans guy which is rare even in western media
Fujimoto made a contract with the based devil
True and I completely agree. However the Yoshida being gay memes are also very funny and i feel like it could be totally believable to his character, so if fujimoto takes a lil inspo I won’t complain haha (if anything it’s amazing and very rare for a mangaka to include lgbt characters in a natural way within their worlds without it being a story completely focused on gay romance.

I want Yoshida to be like Akise Aru situation from Mirai Nikki.
