SubLime (VIZ) is releasing Crimson Spell クリムゾン・スペル by YAMANE Ayano やまねあやのat a healthy rate of 1 volume every other month until they get caught up with Japan (5 volumes and ongoing). I expect that volumes will come out once every year or every other year after that as she’s also working on another classic, Finder ファインダーの標的, for a different publisher in Japan (Finder ファインダーの標的 is now licensed by SubLime (VIZ) in the US – although they’re a volume behind Japan in the Finder ファインダーの標的 series and no date (that I know) to release volume 7 – please release Finder ファインダーの標的 vol 7 soon). Both Crimson Spell クリムゾン・スペル and Finder ファインダーの標的 series are classic and extremely graphic (sex and violence). Great adult stories and definitely NOT for children!
Crimson Spell クリムゾン・スペル is a fantasy action adventure BL, a rare genre these days for BL and a great story. Curses, princes, swords, journey, monsters, wizards, inter-wizard politics, familiars, etc. Some of the more interesting BL classics used to be fantasy works; however, they’re very rare these days (I understand they take a bit longer to draw as most of the characters have the difficult to draw long hair and maybe newer audiences just aren’t into them or know them in the genre).
The 3 main characters, Prince Vladrigr, Halvir, and Liethregveel – renamed Rulca by Vlad, are on a journey to break the prince’s curse and meet up with others, mostly hostile wizards and monsters/demons; however, that is only in the first volume. By volume 4 they have added to their companions and adventures.
If you love fantasy, action, and adventure and read BL you may wish to try this ongoing classic.
