光が死んだ夏のジャンルについては読んだ人が自由に考えるものという意見は変わっていないですが、恋愛や性の話から取り残された人たちにも寄り添う話であるべきだと思っているので私は「青春ホラー」と説明してます。属性を問わず様々な人に共通する「"普通"になれない、居場所がない恐怖」が肝だと思ってます。 - ThreadSky

Too many people get fixated on genres, or being part of the "correct" demographic. So when a work can't be easily put in a tidy box, they become confused or even conflictive.
I love your story, and I'm sure many people also love it for its own merits.

No one is fighting over the demographic of hgsn?? It’s published online, not in a magazine, there’s no specific audience target despite the kono manga ga sugoi classing

gomano1rigoto.bsky.social•112 days ago

I’ve seen several instances where Mokumokuren sensei got rude feedbacks, that hgsn was queer baiting because it was first categorized as BL (iirc) and the tag was removed later

返信ありがとうございます。
実は、公式サイトのタグには一度もBLとついていたことはないので、私の手の届く範囲の場所でタグが変更された事は無いんです。
連載の前段階のプロトタイプはBLとして描いていたので、誤解を招いたのだろうかと考えてはいるのですが…

gomano1rigoto.bsky.social•112 days ago

あ、そうだったのですね！クィアベイトだと騒いでいた人達の言い分には最初はBL明記してあったのに途中で消された〜と見たことがあって…もしかしたら1人が勘違いして、それが広まって勘違いが加速してしまったのかもしれませんね💦

mokmok-len.bsky.social•112 days ago

海外ファンダムでどこからかそういった話が出回っていると認識しております。実際誤解されやすい作品ではあると思うので、難しいなと日々感じています。

shojoscientist.bsky.social•112 days ago

BL is a genre and much less of a demographic, also yeah I agree with you, I also dislike those people that can’t take into the complexity of the work and focus just on the relationship between unuki (« hikaru ») and yoshiki

gomano1rigoto.bsky.social•112 days ago

Ah yes you’re right, I mixed up the 2 here… But I see you got the idea of what I was trying to say, thank you for that 🙂‍↕️

Sensei I've a question. I started to read the manga when some told me that it had BL vibes and possibly gay characters (I'm gay and Would love to see gay characters here). You said fans are free to view it as whatever genre themselves and it's a queer story, but in your opinion, what makes it queer?

mokmok-len.bsky.social•103 days ago

Thank you for starting to read. I hope you will forgive me for not explaining too much because it may limit the reader's interpretation, but I think you will understand as you continue reading.

shuyinna.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thank you for replying to me, sensei.

I just wanted to say that I've caught up to volume 5 (it was released in Italy a month ago), but I still don't understand what exactly makes it queer (unless there will be some development in future). Is it the theme of "homoeroticism/homosexuality"?

mokmok-len.bsky.social•98 days ago

I don't think that only works that explicitly depict homosexuality are queer works. I want readers to think about what queer means when they read. Either way, I thought it was important to have information that the author is depicting the work as queer.

先生!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!やば! 自分立って拍手ですよ、先生の作品見ると色々考えて描いたのが見えて好きです

mokmok-len.bsky.social•124 days ago

ロマンスではないクィアの話が存在しても良いと思います。
だから公式としては、当初から恋愛物語として位置付けないように心がけています。

lxyeey.bsky.social•124 days ago

I agree completely! A story in which a character tries to understand themselves doesn't necessarily have to end with a kiss, it could end with them accepting themselves and that's enough

o1yn12.bsky.social•124 days ago

もううううううう作品に対してブレない先生かっけえ~~~ㅠㅜ尊敬する!

oddlazdo.bsky.social•122 days ago

I agree! But, in my opinion, a story like this needs to make sure that it's still showing the queer parts in a different way. Otherwise, people may start to claim that it's not a queer story at all.

The Summer Hikaru Died does this because we are still reminded often that Yoshiki is gay. I love it!

mokmok-len.bsky.social•100 days ago

それと、「恋愛感情や性欲がわからない」というのもクィアの話として大事な設定だと思っています。
誤解を招きやすい部分なのもわかっていますが…

homo-sex-uau.bsky.social•100 days ago

Entendo seu ponto e até concordo, mas há situações que há a necessidade de mostrar que aquilo é o que é.

choromatsu333.bsky.social•118 days ago

💚🤍🖤 🙏🙏🙏 thank you for this story always
