Pornographer and BL Immigration
So as I mentioned in previous posts, The love I have for Japanese culture made me explore more. And that was how I met The Pornographer also known as the novelist.
Pornographer
Pornographer is a person who publishes or writes pornography. The complicated love story between a pornographer and a college student is the context. many social realities were exposed in the story. I extremely fell in love with it, and this introduced me to the huge culture, I didn't even know there is.
BL
BL Aka Boys Love stories are gay love stories that mainly produced in Asian countries which originated from the Japan with Yaoi Mangas. I'm going to talk about them in an upcoming post. But right now, the BL industry is mainly runs by Thailand and South Korea.
BL series changed the perspective I saw the world and made me feel relatable to the content. So, I attached to it more and more.
They inspired me to be a free human being and taught having a different sexuality or gender identity is nothing to be ashamed of.

And in the fandom, I met the best people out there, which is I'm forever grateful.
So let me share my favorite Japanese, Korean and Thai BL series.
Japanese BL Top 5
Although BL concept was first introduced in Japan, their series didn't become popular as much as the others. One of the reasons might be the deep and complex plot lines.

Thai BL Series
At the moment, Thai BL series are the kings in BL industry. There are a lot of companies who produce BL series. And those companies have assigned actors together as couples and they have their own fandoms with names, colors etc. Thailand has the largest collection of BL series. so, you can watch them according to the genre or type you like. although they have so many pluses, there is a dark side too. we often hear that actors were abused by the directors at auditions, and issues between assigned couples. also, toxic fans.
