Ten Count movie - out in 2023.
Finally??! They first announced it’s getting an anime in 2018 or even before. So we’re getting a movie, not an anime in the end (= anime adaptation in a movie format).
... ICE ADOLESCENCE WHEN???

Finding models of healthy masculinity in BL manga
The first time I came out, initially as genderfluid, it was because of a cosplay based on a character from my favorite M/M ship. It was 2017. I was going to dress as Hanamura Yosuke from the game Persona 4, and I needed a binder in order for the cosplay to be “accurate”. Nervously, I asked my mom, and when she said yes, I followed up with my coming out. I was very lucky, and my mother and the rest of my family were incredibly accepting, working on using the correct pronouns and helping me find more binders and masculine clothing.
When it comes to BL, the Persona 4 fandom served as my introduction. I was a big fan of the “Souyo” pairing of the protagonist, Souji (as he was known in the game’s manga adaptation), and his best friend and “partner”, Yosuke. I became very invested in the ship, and would often project my own fears and insecurities onto Yosuke when I wrote fanfic. In retrospect, I recognize that as something that let me safely imagine myself as a boy in a relationship with another boy. That desire to find media that would let me project myself into the positions of these male characters was what led me to discover BL.
The more invested in the pairing I became, the more media I looked for featuring them. This included zines and long-form comics by English-speaking fans that resembled doujinshi. One particular fic was an Alternate Universe based on the 2007 BL manga Seven Days. After enjoying the story, I was curious about the original work, and quickly discovered fan translations. Enjoying what I read, I continued down the rabbit-hole.
I was 15 years old and not sure where to start. Many of the most popular, easily accessible, and non-explicit titles available in English still featured harmful tropes like harassment and sexual coercion; it was often easier to turn to fan translations of unlicensed stories. There was one particular manga that was available, though, that I found sweet and charming: Go For It, Nakamura!

I just remembered that Ten Count exists.
And how many times they said the movie was coming. Late in 2022, they said it was coming in 2023. Hmmm... what year is it now with exactly 0 additional news lmao

Something I haven’t put any effort into up to this point isn’t suddenly going to fix itself.

Day 183
Today's manga/manhwa: Ten Count
This is one of my favorites and It's one of those that I can read it over and over again and not get bored. It deals with some serious stuff, like childhood trauma and this illness phobia called mysophobia which I learned what is it from here.
