    Hi denizens,

    I saw this headline in the Daily Kos a left-wing online publication in
    the USA.

    BL: Cherry Magic is Soft Comfort Food for Office Romance Lovers

    You can read it at the following URL and it is fairly complete.

    ˙˙˙˙I am not a BL fan though I read a lot of stuff that is
    pretty close to BL.

    ˙˙˙˙bliss - in personal news I am out of the orthopedic boot
    and now have to learn to walk in two shoes again.˙ My advice is
    to not break your ankle if you can help it. 3 months of boredom.


    well, anime and manga have become a normal part of the global mediascape
    over the last few decades. People who were into it as teens have become functional adults and now want to discuss the stuff they like with other people they know are interested.

    Well this is turning into a weekly feature it seems on Daily Kos.
    And i did not get into anime and manga until I was in my 60s about 27 years ago.

    This seems to be a continuing feature at Daily Kos. If anyone is interested I can post the URLs as they come thru i think on a weekly
    basis.
