I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels with such a title or concept. It might be about a character who is in a very weak or near - death state, perhaps physically or metaphorically, and the story could revolve around their struggle, hope, or the events that led them to this 'barely breathing' situation.
I don't know who the author of the 'barely breathing novel' is. There are so many novels out there and without more information it's impossible to say.
Yes, there are some manga that might be on the edge of being too suggestive but still have great stories. For example, 'Monster' by Naoki Urasawa. It has complex characters and a thrilling plot that keeps you engaged, without any hentai elements. It delves deep into the human psyche and moral dilemmas.
One characteristic is that they often focus on characters' daily lives or simple interactions. For example, in an anime like 'Aria', it's mostly about the characters' experiences in a peaceful town, rowing boats and chatting with friends. There's no big drama or complex plot.
One 'best barely making it story' could be about a small business. For example, a local bakery that was on the verge of closing due to high rent and competition. But the owner didn't give up. They started offering unique products like gluten - free pastries and partnering with local coffee shops for joint promotions. Through sheer determination and some smart marketing moves, they managed to keep the bakery alive and are now thriving.
A 'barely balanced' graphic novel could be one where the plot elements are just on the verge of tipping over into chaos or resolution. For example, the conflict and the forces working against each other are so closely matched that it creates a sense of tenuous equilibrium throughout the story.
It could mean that the concept of homosexuality doesn't seem to be well - incorporated into the story. Maybe the plot doesn't naturally accommodate or require gay elements, so it feels forced or out of place when they are added.
The term 'barely legal' in this context might imply situations that are just on the edge of legality, which is often a very gray area and not something to be promoted. It may involve situations where age or consent boundaries seem to be pushed to the limit, but any form of improper or unethical behavior should not be glorified.
