Bishonen Elements Manga

A young man just out of high school (Ousugi Sakae) grapples with a world falling into fascism, the loneliness of adulthood, and his sense of obligation to oppose fascism and bring about an especifist anarchist revolution to save everyone. Additionally, he is in love with his kouhai (Emma) who is also dedicated to the cause. They can't really be together because that would complicate an already dangerous life. Or could they? What kind of life and love is there in a world being corrupted by hatred? Is bravery and comradery enough to turn the tide and win the revolution? Or is something more needed? There should be a sense of nostalgia for a world that never existed, and a longing for a future world yet to be. He should be feel a sense of solidarity with his friends and Emma but also isolation and loneliness because the world is so unpredictable. This manga should be an intro duction to the characters and the world.

Miu have long hair black and white Levi have short hair .

The door opened and I looked in the mirror, so I knew who was standing behind me.
"Hello Levi, it's been a long time, maybe 1000 years."
I beep quietly.
"Hello Mia." He said it for the first time, so calmly.
"When did you remember your previous life?"
He asks and I'm already smiling.
"Five years ago Levi."
He grits his teeth.
"I knew you would find me and I waited for you to do it. It was fate."
I stand up and walk over to him. We look into each other's eyes.
"In the diary you left me, none of it made sense. You just died, why? Mia, why the hell."
A tear falls from my eye.
"Because if you died, I would lose the reason to live. I love you Levi. I never stopped. Our souls were connected when we first met. Since you are bound to me, you are not a Ymir subject."
I say and he straightens up.
"What did you say?" His eyes widen in surprise.
"Let's move somewhere else please I don't want to talk about this here."
He nods and grabs my hand.
"I promise I won't die again. Neither will you. We will be together."
He squeezes my hand even tighter.

What i was thinking for my story was that after reaching the age of 8 you get to find your power called "renx". Renx allows you to summon a weapon your weapon could be anything even another human, the Renx is different for everyone. But not everyone can have a Renx, theres a 50% chance that you get one abd 50% chance that you dont. Renx helps you fight monsters called Olyn creatures. The Olyns taken over most of the world but brave humans created strong fortresses in some countries. There is multiple factions formed with only Renx users, The Sacred, The Fallen, The Shattered, The Lost, The Union. The Union is the main faction that controls all the other's. The Sacred focuses on fighting the Olyn, The Fallen focuses on protecting the Fortresses, The shattered focuses on healing the injured, The Lost scout areas near the Fortresses to make sure they're are no Olyns approaching, and The Union gives orders to every faction. Each year The Union gives a test to those who want to join one of the factions very few get selected each year, only about 450 people get chosen and then each faction gets to choose 90 people depending on that they're useful for.Lets make our main character have 2 Renx 1 human like Renx and a weapon that looks like a cross that serves as a sword and a gun.The summoned human has their own personality and they follow your orders. I want to makes this like a boys love genre too the main character somehow falls in love with a guy from a different faction

Một ngày đẹp trời ở Kivotos, sensei đi dạo cùng với Hina, vừa đi vừa trog chuyện.

“Sensei, em có điều này muốn nói.”
“Điều gì vậy em?”
“Về chuyện có liên quan đến Trung học Abydos.”
“Abydos có chuyện gì à?’
“Hình như chuyện này cũng có Hoshino bị liên lụy.”
“Hina...em có chắc không vậy?”
“Em không chắc cho lắm nhưng chắc chắn có kẻ đang cố nhắm đến Abydos.”

Sensei đứng trầm ngâm suy nghĩ một lúc lâu. Nhận thấy sensei như vậy. Hina nói:

“Thầy đừng kể chuyện này với bất kỳ ai ở Abydos, đặc biệt là Hoshino vì nếu biết thì em ấy sẽ hành động cực kỳ nguy hiểm.”
“Vậy à...”

Tối hôm đó, sensei ở lại trường.

Đêm ấy, trường học vắng lặng. Sensei ngồi một mình trong phòng giáo viên, ánh đèn vàng hắt xuống trang giấy trắng. Bên ngoài, gió sa mạc thổi qua khung cửa, mang theo hơi nóng khô khốc. Trong lòng Sensei, lời cảnh báo của Hina cứ vang vọng: Abydos đang bị nhắm đến… nhưng chưa rõ bởi ai.

“Có lẽ mình phải giữ kín chuyện này. Các em… vẫn còn quá ngây thơ để gánh nặng này.” Sensei khẽ thở dài, tựa lưng vào ghế. Đêm trôi qua chậm chạp, như muốn thử thách sự kiên nhẫn.

Rồi bình minh đến. Ánh nắng đầu ngày rọi xuống cổng trường, xua đi bóng tối của đêm qua. Sensei khoác áo, bước ra sân, và như thường lệ, lại đến lớp cùng các em học sinh Abydos.

Sáng hôm sau, ánh nắng sa mạc rọi xuống cổng Abydos.

Sensei bước vào, đôi giày để lại dấu hằn trên lớp cát nóng.

“Sensei!” – Shiroko vẫy tay, nụ cười trong trẻo như xua tan cái nắng gắt.

Serika thì cau có: “Thầy đến muộn rồi đó, em chờ mãi để hỏi bài tập.”

Nonomi ôm chồng sách cao ngất, vừa đi vừa lẩm bẩm: “Hôm nay phải dọn thư viện nữa…”

Ayane chỉnh lại kính, khẽ nói: “Sensei, hôm nay em có bản báo cáo muốn thầy xem.”

Hoshino khoác tay sau đầu, ngáp dài: “Thầy đến rồi à… vậy thì hôm nay em sẽ nghỉ ngơi thêm chút nữa.”

Sensei mỉm cười, nhìn từng gương mặt quen thuộc.

Trong lòng, nỗi lo về lời Hina vẫn còn đó, nhưng trước mắt Sensei chỉ thấy một gia đình nhỏ đang cố gắng sống sót giữa sa mạc khắc nghiệt.

Ngày nào cũng vậy, Sensei cùng các em đi tuần quanh trường, dạy thêm vài bài học, hoặc đơn giản chỉ ngồi nghe các em kể chuyện.

Những khoảnh khắc ấy khiến Sensei cảm thấy Abydos không chỉ là một ngôi trường, mà là một nơi để bảo vệ bằng cả sinh mạng.

Lại một đêm nữa sensei ở lại trường. Dường như sensei đã quá quen với việc ngủ lại ở trường thay vì đi về nhà cách trường đoạn khá xa và phải đứng rất lâu để chờ xe buýt.

Nhưng đêm nay sensei cảm thấy khung cảnh có gì đó hơi khác thường mặc dù ngôi trường vẫn im lặng về đêm như cũ. Sensei mở cửa sổ phòng và nhìn lên bầu trời đêm và nhận ra trên trời không có lấy một ngôi sao nào. Semsei lúc này cảm thấy như có gì đó đang theo dõi mình từ xa dù cả Kivotos đã tắt đèn và không có lấy một bóng dáng ai trên những con đường.

Sensei khẽ khép cửa sổ, nhưng ngay lúc ấy, một âm thanh nhỏ vang lên từ sân trường.

Tiếng kim loại va chạm, hay tiếng bước chân rất khẽ?

Sensei lặng người, tim đập nhanh hơn.

“Có ai… ở đây sao?”

Nhưng khi nhìn xuống, sân trường vẫn tối đen, không một bóng người.
Sensei khẽ nhíu mày. Đêm nay, có gì đó thật sự khác thường.

**“The Third Chair”**

Lin Zhixia first met Zhou Jin at a window-side table in a café.
The sunlight was beautiful that day, yet the chair across from him was empty.

She learned later that the chair belonged to his girlfriend—Shen Yan.

Zhou Jin never hid the truth.
He said he loved someone, and he also said he wasn’t sure whether he could still love another.
Lin Zhixia understood—yet she sat down anyway.

Their relationship was like a nameless river.
Unspoken, unacknowledged, never crossing the point of no return—
and yet, step by step, it ran deeper.

When Shen Yan appeared, everything finally gained weight.

She was calmer than Lin Zhixia had imagined. She only looked at her and said,
“You’re not a bad person.”
The words felt sharper than a knife.

That night, Lin Zhixia asked herself for the first time in earnest:
If love has to hurt someone in order to exist, did she really want it?

Zhou Jin tried to keep her, saying,
“I can’t live without either of you.”
But in that moment, Lin Zhixia suddenly understood—
in a love shared by three, someone is always sitting in the extra chair.

She stood up and gave up her seat.

Later on, the café was still the same café.
By the window, the table still held three chairs.

Eren wakes up in a familiar city, but something feels wrong.

The road he walks every day is still there.
His old apartment still stands.
But no one can see him.

He calls out to people.
No one responds.

He looks at himself in the mirror—his reflection is blurred, as if he never existed.

As night falls, Eren discovers something far worse:
Others like him—those who were forgotten—are emerging from the shadows.

And they are staring straight at him.

$Haruto and Yukari struggle to cooperate after Yukari’s sudden autonomy. Yukari’s cold demeanor clashes with Haruto’s emotional drive. Reika tries to mediate, but Yukari questions her own existence and Akirame’s role in her creation. Their bond begins to fracture as they prepare to leave the shrine.$

Heizou ruled the student council room like it was a chessboard, every move planned, every rule enforced. Kazuha drifted through the halls like a breeze, sleeves rolled up, trouble following him without much effort. When Kazuha landed in detention—again—Heizou was the one assigned to supervise.

What started as sharp words softened into late conversations. Heizou discovered that Kazuha’s rebellion wasn’t cruelty, but restlessness; Kazuha saw that beneath Heizou’s perfect composure was someone tired of being alone. Papers were finished, rules were bent, and laughter replaced suspicion.

By the time the bell rang, neither wanted to leave. Between order and chaos, they found something steady—each other.

CyberWolf
Chapter 1: Awakening (Rough Draft)
Tori Mack woke up because his body felt wrong.
The room was quiet, filled with the low hum of machines. White lights burned above him, and the air
smelled clean—too clean. His head throbbed as he tried to remember how he got there, but his mind
was blank.
He moved his right hand.
Metal shifted.
Tori froze and slowly lifted his arm. From shoulder to fingertips, it was solid steel—smooth, dark, and
unbreakable. His breathing picked up as he tried to move his right leg.
Metal again.
“What… is going on?” he whispered.
“You’re awake,” a calm voice said.
Tori turned his head. A man stood beside the bed, watching him closely. He looked older, his
expression patient, like someone who had been waiting for this moment.
“My name is Ein Tucker,” the man said.
Tori tried to sit up. His body responded easily, stronger than it should have been. He swung his legs off
the bed and stood. His metal foot hit the floor with a solid thud.
“I don’t remember anything,” Tori said, panic creeping into his voice. “What happened to me?”
“You were caught in a storm,” Ein said carefully. “You didn’t survive it the way a normal human would.”
“So what am I?” Tori asked.
“Still human,” Ein replied. “But also something more.”
“Rebuilt by who?” Tori asked.
“That’s a conversation for later,” Ein said. “What matters now is that you’re alive.”
Tori clenched his metal fist. It didn’t shake. It didn’t hurt.
“When I was unconscious,” Tori said quietly, “I dreamed of wolves watching me.”
Ein’s eyes sharpened for a brief moment.
“Focus on learning how to move,” Ein said. “The rest will come in time.”
Tori stood there—half flesh, half metal—feeling power beneath his skin.
His old life was over.And the beginning of CyberWolf had just begun

Ten thousand years after the Great Heaven War, the Dao has changed—and so has the world.
Sects rule nations, flying swords fill regulated skies, and Heavenly Trials descend the moment a cultivator understands too much. In this late-stage cultivation era, power is institutionalized, ambition is monitored, and even righteousness is a political stance rather than a cosmic truth.
Born into an ancient sword clan that chose adaptation over isolation, a young cultivator enters a second-tier righteous sect where talent is refined and the greatest disciples are sent upward to a Tier One power. But in a world where the Dao is endless and Heaven corrects imbalance without mercy, insight is more dangerous than strength.
The path to immortality is uncertain.
The Dao does not care about good or evil.
And Heaven is always watching.

CLIMATE X INDIGENOUS VOICES
MAGAZINE EDITION – 2025 HIGHLIGHTS
OPENING NOTE

2025 has been a defining year for Climate X Indigenous Voices — a year of deep listening, bold experimentation, and continent-wide action against climate disinformation. From grassroots fieldwork to global information integrity frameworks, this project has cemented itself as one of Africa’s leading voices on climate truth, Indigenous knowledge, and digital resilience.
This edition captures the milestones, stories, and sparks that shaped our journey.

FEATURE I — Foundations of a Movement
Project Foundations & Ethical Community Partnerships

Our year began where all great stories do — on the ground. Core teams were formed across Zimbabwe, Uganda, Kenya and regional media hubs, with contracts, TORs, and workflow structures firmly established.
Early engagement with Indigenous partners — including the Tjwa community and others — ensured ethical collaboration, transparent consent, and storytelling shaped with communities, not about them.

FEATURE II — Investigating the Climate Lie Machine
Grassroots Disinformation Research

In Matabeleland North, our field teams completed a landmark study with the Tjwa community. The research reveals how climate disinformation impacts resource access, daily decision-making, and community adaptation.
These findings now anchor our content pipeline — from animations to community exhibitions — and the full report will be released on our public document-sharing platform.

Africa Climate Disinformation Toolkit

The continent’s first integrated guide to climate misinformation has been finalised. Led by an information integrity expert, the toolkit documents:

Recurring myths

Localised misinformation patterns

Platform-driven manipulation

Emerging online climate narratives

Launching this December via webinar, the Toolkit already informs youth trainings and content strategy. It will be publicly accessible for download and reading.

FEATURE III — Art as Resistance
Art-Driven Dissemination Strategy

From murals to exhibitions, 2025 strengthened the role of art in climate truth-telling. Community artists partnered with us to transform research into accessible, culturally rooted visual storytelling.
A centerpiece was the exhibition inspired by The Last Forest documentary, showcased at the Green Cities Expo in September.

FEATURE IV — Nurturing the Next Generation of Climate Truth Creators
Green Media Accelerator: Fake News Fighters Track

In Nairobi, the Green Media Accelerator launched a dedicated track for Fake News Fighters (FNF) — now one of Africa’s leading climate information integrity models.
Through mentorship, fact-checking skills, and seed funding, FNF empowered young media innovators to produce verified, creative responses to climate lies.

INFORMATION INTEGRITY HIGHLIGHTS
Positioning Africa in the Global Info Integrity Landscape

2025 saw FNF align with the UNESCO Declaration for Information Integrity in the Public Sphere, marking a milestone for African-driven climate truth models.
In 2026, FNF will contribute directly to shaping the world’s first Climate Information Integrity Framework, anchoring African solutions in global policy spaces.

Fake News Fighters Bootcamps – Kenya & Uganda

Using UKWELI as the core tool, two bootcamps trained 30 young creators to:

Fact-check climate misinformation

Detect platform manipulations

Produce counter-narratives

Map the real-world impacts of false climate stories

These creators now feed into a continent-wide content pipeline.

FEATURE V — Content, Storytelling & Digital Resistance
Voices Rooted Podcast

Production of the first episodes began this month. Key recordings include:

Dr. Albert K. Barume, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

Indigenous leaders and frontline climate defenders

The podcast positions Indigenous wisdom at the centre of Africa’s climate discourse.

Hope Not Heat! — Log Off The Lies Digital Campaign

Bold. Satirical. Youth-driven.
Log Off The Lies has become our strongest weapon against climate misinformation.

Highlights:

Infomercial launched in October — 2 million views

Hero content released last week — 1.8 million views

Youth social storm platform launched — 100+ engagements and counting

Humour + fact-checking = sharper climate awareness among youth audiences

This campaign now shapes the continent’s conversation on online climate manipulation.

Influencer Travel Vlogs

Travel and contracting with leading African vloggers is underway. Their content — spotlighting Indigenous adaptation stories — will be released early next year for wider impact.

Documentary Production

In Zimbabwe:
Filming completed in August.
Trailer for The Last Forest reached 2.5 million views.
Festival submissions are being prepared for 2026.

In Uganda:
Filming has begun, expanding the documentary footprint across the region.

A major national event is planned to engage policy makers on Indigenous Peoples' Rights, Conservation, FPIC and Extractive Industries.

FEATURE VI — Youth Creativity & Climate Knowledge
Climate Fake News Smackdown

This creative competition invited youth to challenge climate myths.
Three winners — one each from Zimbabwe, Kenya and Uganda — are now producing myth-busting content for release this month.

Climate Facts Animations

Three animated explainers are in production:

Episode 1 releases on 10 December

Episode 2 is complete

Episode 3 follows early next year

These animations demystify climate disinformation for youth audiences.

FEATURE VII — Growing a Continental Network
Africa Climate Labs Network

Content hubs across East and Southern Africa are collaborating to build an Africa-wide front against climate disinformation.
2026 will deepen:

Joint content planning

Regular reporting

Skill exchanges

Coordinated distribution strategies

Mid-term M&E is tracking reach, narrative shifts, and behaviour change across communities.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION
Fake News Fighters Wins Amnesty International Zimbabwe Award

FNF received the Digital Creativity Award, affirming that information integrity is fundamental to climate justice.
Without reliable information, communities cannot defend their rights, advocate for policy change, or hold powerful actors accountable.

LOOKING AHEAD — 2026 AND BEYOND

Next year, Climate X Indigenous Voices pivots from standalone outputs to continent-wide narrative influence.

Key Priorities for 2026

Expanding UKWELI’s integration into broader African dialogues on climate truth and Indigenous resilience

Strengthening the Fake News Fighters track for Zimbabwean and Tanzanian innovators

Documentary production in Kenya and Tanzania

A refreshed, more dynamic phase of the Hope Not Heat! campaign

Strategic release of delayed content to maximise engagement

2026 will be the year the project scales from impactful storytelling to movement-level influence.

Miu is girl qnd Levi is boy

"I'll be fine." I drink more than was healthy, but it wouldn't harm his health. He picked me up before I passed out. A few days later I woke up and felt better. Someone was holding my hand and sleeping. I moved a little and it woke him up. It was deep in the night
It was Levi.
"Miu.." He whispered and I blinked.
"Levi" smiled and then hugged me.
"I was so scared. Why aren't you taking care of yourself?" He asks and I start to cry.
"I'm sorry." He puts his forehead against mine.
"Don't apologize." He says and gets on the bed and hugs me tightly. It felt good.
"I thought I was going to lose you when Finn was carrying you." He whispered and this time I held him close.
"Am I okay?" I say to reassure him and his breathing calms down.
He looks into my eyes again and I look into his.
"Will it be okay how long have I been away?"
"A week and a half." He replies and I widen my eyes.
"That's not possible." I say and he chuckles ironically.
"That's right." He says and I kiss him.
He kisses me back and caresses my cheek. I feel more sorry for scaring him than for almost dying.
"I love you so much, Mia."
"I love you too." I whisper and kiss him as a friend. I stroke his hair until we both fall asleep again.
