One is 'No. 6'. It has a post - apocalyptic setting. The two male protagonists, Shion and Nezumi, have a deep relationship. Shion is a smart character, and Nezumi is a more physically strong and street - smart character with a certain muscularity. Their relationship develops as they face various challenges in their world.
Yes, there are some anime that feature gay characters with muscular builds. For example, 'Yuri!!! on Ice' has male characters who have a certain level of muscle definition and there are undertones of a romantic relationship between the main characters. It's a popular anime that showcases the story of figure skaters, where the relationship between the two male leads is a significant part of the story.
There were many animes with dark characters. The following were some of them:
1 Death Note: The male protagonist, Yagami, is a gloomy, cold, intelligent, and cruel person. He uses the Death Note to kill people in order to achieve his evil purpose.
2 "Rebel Lelouch"(Code Geass): The male protagonist, Lelouch, is a lonely, sad, and power-hungry person. In order to protect his beloved girl, Nunnally, he is willing to show the extremely dark side of the world.
3 "Sin Crown"(Gintama): The male protagonist Takumi is a lonely, cold, vengeful person. After losing his loved ones, he becomes extremely twisted and dark, often resorting to violent acts.
Naruto: The male protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, is a gloomy, self-abased, and lonely man. He constantly struggles and struggles to protect his friends and village, but he often shows extreme violence.
5 Demon Slayer: The male protagonist, Akijiro, is a gloomy, lonely, and vengeful man. He constantly fights and searches for the truth in order to avenge and save his loved ones, showing a very complicated mentality.
One notable aspect of gay male characters in graphic novels is the diversity of their representation. Some are depicted as strong and confident heroes, breaking the traditional stereotypes. For example, in 'Fun Home' by Alison Bechdel, the main character's exploration of his father's homosexuality is intertwined with his own self - discovery. The graphic format allows for a visual exploration of their emotions and relationships that might be harder to convey in other mediums.
A common theme is the struggle against stereotypes. Gay characters with muscular builds often defy the common perception that gay men are weak or less masculine. In these anime stories, they are shown to be strong, both physically and mentally. For instance, in 'Yuri!!! on Ice', Yuri and Viktor break the mold with their relationship and their abilities in figure skating. Another theme is the beauty of male - male relationships. These stories often focus on the emotional depth and the unique bond that can exist between two male characters, which is just as valid and beautiful as any other relationship. In 'Given', the story beautifully portrays the love and connection between the male characters.
Another character could be Dante from a lesser - known but cult - favorite gay male vampire story. He is a centuries - old vampire who has seen the evolution of gay culture. His story often delves into how he has adapted to different eras while still maintaining his vampiric identity and his search for true love among his own kind.
Sherlock Holmes and John Watson from the Sherlock series are often the subjects in gay male fanfiction. Their deep friendship in the original stories is sometimes re - imagined as a romantic relationship in fanfiction.
One way could be to target specific publishing houses or literary agents that have a history of accepting and promoting such works. Also, building an online presence and connecting with potential readers through social media can help generate interest.
😋I recommend the following two novels to you ~
1. [Summoning from Douluo Martial Soul Palace: The main character, Ye Chen, has unexpectedly obtained the Super Summoning System. He can summon real characters from various worlds to descend into the Douluo World!] The summoned characters included Naruto, Payne Nagato, One Piece Sauron, and so on. There was also a team that saved the Boss with double EXP and formed a cute girl team to activate the Immortal Legend!
2. "I can summon anime characters without limit": The main character Xia Muxing is a contestant of the tenth emperor sequence of Summoning Paradise. In the infinite world, he has obtained the authority of the strongest emperor in history. In the contestant's war world, he summons all kinds of anime characters, transmigrating to enjoy and becoming infinitely stronger!
