Sang-wha-jeom(2008)


Sang-wha-jeom or Ssang-wha-jeom is a Korean movie dealing with love triangle among a king, a queen and a king's guardian warrior.
Before Chosun Dynasty, there was Corea Dynasty in Korean Peninsula.
According to many historical records, Corea Dynasty was even more liberal than Chosun Dynasty where Confucianism played a big part in every area, politics, family rules and so on.
So during the Corean period, women could inherit properties and love poems were allowed.
The title of this movie is one of the love poem, a little bit sex poem.
The main character the King, Gong-min is portrayed as gay even in records. Some says he hired many beautiful male warriors around him.
But history is always re-written by the winner.
So we can't be sure which is true and which is false.
But at least we can say there was something "queer" about him.
The movie runs in Korea on the 30th of December, this year.
I'm waiting.

Korean Bara artist, Unspoken

Another Korean bara arist that I came across at X (former Twitter), Unspoken . As you can see, he's very skilled in drawing and using colors and such. He seems to upload his steamy comics in Patreon from time to time. When I first found his artwork at Twitter, I thought he and Huntersmell  are the same person. ( Click  "Huntersmell" above to read my previous posting on Huntersmell. ) I detected some similarities in their drawing styles. But who can be sure? Thank that I have found another talented bara artist. That's what matters.

Newest comic by Jiraiya

I did not know till today that Jiraiya released his newest comic, Two Hoses, a story about two firemen, through Big Gym (in Japan) and Massive (in US). The picture above is from Big Gym (a gay store chain in Japan) twitter. As you can see, this comic seemed to be based on his previous artwork, which was used for several items. (I really love this artwork, even though I generally love his artwork. Actually I love all of his artworks.)  The 2nd image seems to be a promotional postcard. And the 3rd image is the US version of the comic. The image is from Massive.

Josman

Josman is a British cartoonist who published his works through "Handjobs" magazine which fulfills the readers' fantasies about affairs between grown-ups and young boys. Josman's very talented and skilled cartoonist. He usually tells affairs between family members which makes me a little uncomfortable. But I got amazed by the way he depicts the scene. (He borrows the style from American super-hero cartoonists)
