Includes BL manga.hwa.hua, danmei, & light novels releases in English print.
May also include non-BL works that are “BL-coded” aka clearly meant for audiences who enjoy reading BL. All release dates are subject to change, but I’m *usually* pretty good about keeping them updated.
So many big-name releases this month—final volume of Ahjuicy, Painter of the Night, Roses and Champagne, Wet Sand, etc. TBH, I never really got into most of the big ones. The ones I’d actually recommend are Eternal Covenant and Radio Storm (oh, and Ahjuicy, lol).
I think Painter of the Night and Roses and Champagne are just too red flag for me (although maybe I could try POTN), and Wet Sand… I just cannot deal with a love triangle, drives me up the wall.
