Archmage Rudilas Miroa Genuery wondered that. Why are young people so desperate to know what's going on in the other person's mind? They're just not that into love....... When they break up, they talk about it all the time, and when they're together, they want to make sure they're in love by causing all kinds of trouble. Rudilas was honestly tired of it. He'd spent his entire youth practicing magic, and all he wanted was a love potion. "Silly things!" Rudilas gritted his teeth. It was a waste of a life to become a witch for so little money. Rudilas didn't care about other people's love. It was none of his business if they were in a lovely relationship or if they broke up and went on to become enemies. All Rudilas wanted was the pursuit of truth. Or more precisely, the perfection of pure power. It was the only thing that kept him alive. He knew better than anyone that a man's heart could not be artificially changed, but today he poured ingredients into the cauldron, stirring them carefully with a spatula. "Inain!" "Yes!" "Go and get the birthing bats. I told you they were supposed to be in the potion. What have you been up to?" "I'm sorry, sir. Just give me a minute!" "Bring it on, you lazy bastard!" Rudilas exclaimed. "How could you ever be my pupil? Anyway, the young ones these days are......." Inain quickly ran away. He knew that once Rudilas started grumbling and complaining, there would be no end to it. Rudilas would often call Inain a brainless idiot and a worthless piece of shit, and would even refer to him as a useless mouth. Several times, Inain had resisted the urge to ask him about love potions and why he didn't refuse to make them. Rudilas spent his days making pills to improve marriages, amulets to find runaway wives, and pills to make lost pets come home. In front of his students, he would puff up his chest as the greatest sage in the empire, but in practice, he was no better than a back-alley medicine peddler. Inain didn't follow Rudilas out of any deep-seated respect. He stuck with Rudilas because he was one of the most knowledgeable mages in the empire in terms of pure magic, and because he was one of the few mages with access to the Imperial Library. Additionally, Rudilas was the only mage who fed and bedded Inain in the place so close to the Imperial Palace. "Inain!" "Yes, I'm coming," Inain gritted his teeth. He was getting tired of all the insincere pretense and flattery. Morning and night, he'd be carrying around a bat wing he didn't recognize, and he'd be thinking, 'Ew, that's frustrating. I'm going to beat the crap out of him.......' Of course, he was only thinking to himself. And his sage with little mind was shrewd. "Here it is." "Go ahead and put it away. Have you washed your hands?" "Oh, right." "Sheshe. Anyway, he's useless, spoiled, and....... These days, things are......" The nagging was almost a habit, and had Inain reconsidering, should he quit the job? Inain sighed and shook his head. It was a position he'd earned hard, having disobeyed his father. An apprentice, but a wizard is a wizard. He had no intention of moving out of Rudilas's house, no matter how badly he felt.

Book Description
Boys Love Manga and Beyond looks at a range of literary, artistic and other cultural products that celebrate the beauty of adolescent boys and young men. In Japan, depiction of the “beautiful boy” has long been a romantic and sexualized trope for both sexes and commands a high degree of cultural visibility today across a range of genres from pop music to animation. In recent decades, “Boys Love” (or simply BL) has emerged as a mainstream genre in manga, anime, and games for girls and young women. This genre was first developed in Japan in the early 1970s by a group of female artists who went on to establish themselves as major figures in Japan's manga industry. By the late 1970s many amateur women fans were getting involved in the BL phenomenon by creating and self-publishing homoerotic parodies of established male manga characters and popular media figures. The popularity of these fan-made products, sold and circulated at huge conventions, has led to an increase in the number of commercial titles available. Today, a wide range of products produced both by professionals and amateurs are brought together under the general rubric of “boys love,” and are rapidly gaining an audience throughout Asia and globally. This collection provides the first comprehensive overview in English of the BL phenomenon in Japan, its history and various subgenres and introduces translations of some key Japanese scholarship not otherwise available. Some chapters detail the historical and cultural contexts that helped BL emerge as a significant part of girls' culture in Japan. Others offer important case studies of BL production, consumption, and circulation and explain why BL has become a controversial topic in contemporary Japan.

Once upon a time, the devil knocked up a delivery guy.Not your typical intro to a romance, but I promise, it is one. The devil in this scenario would be a sexy horned demon named Apollyon and the delivery guy would be me, Levi Curtis. Just an average guy who got in way over his head trying to keep his twin sister from selling her soul.See, in order to do unleash Hell's demonic wrath upon the earth, Apollyon needs a mortal vessel to contain the seed of his demonic army. It wasn't supposed to be a literal pregnancy, but my overactive imagination has always caused problems. Big problems, in this case. A whole Legion of 'em.I may low-key hate Apollyon, but we're gonna have to learn to tolerate each other in order to keep our little bundle of infernal joy safe and hopefully not destroy both our worlds in the process. But hey, on the plus side, you know what they say about guys with big horns. Lightbearer is an 82k fantasy mpreg romance with dark humor. This is a meta-narrative with intentional tense switching as the story jumps timelines.

Over miles of dark highway, Ghost pursues, his powers guiding him on a journey to reach his destiny, to save Ann from her new companions, to save Nothing from himself. . . . “An important and original work . . . a gritty, highly literate blend of brutality and sentiment, hope and despair.”—Science Fiction Chronicle
