Animation doesn't look that good but still I am excited for this one. The first 100 chapters was really funny.

I don't know if this is BL or not, but the fandom wiki lists 3 official female love interests and only one male. So he is at least a bisexual who prefers women. It also seems like his love for guys seems to be typical fan speculation, as even the wiki itself admits that something was "hinted but nothing confirmed" (and not from MC side).

Do I understand correctly that you are comparing an online store with manga creation? Why?

It just seemed to me that you perceive his manga as another business project. But I thought I just misunderstood you.

Oh! I’m sorry I don’t actually keep up with his recent stuff, but from what I know him from,, in Korea he wasn’t initially known for Lookism, but for his store & his reality tv appearances, it was after that that Lookism blew up for its story & not because of who the author solely was, which I find admirable, that’s what I meant~ as I heard a lot bout Lookism

Ah, now I understand your point better. Thanks for the explanation! I usually get very salty when people in show business try to get creative to get some extra popularity (you know, all those singing tiktokers and youtubers or comics from actors), but if it really has some artistic value, then why not?
