Hello, I'm Lys! This is a companion socmed account to my blog on BL manga. I hope to help introduce BL to those who are not as familiar with the genre but are interested in it, especially library workers.

What benefit is there to Crunchyroll to cut off libraries? In this political climate, it's a pretty awful PR choice and yet another way of booting the medium's target demo.
