The Boys Love (BL) genre has carved out a niche within the manga and manhwa community, captivating readers with its departure from conventional romance narratives. Instead of focusing on male-female relationships, BL stories delve into the dynamics between two male protagonists, often exploring homoerotic themes. While the term ‘BL’ gained formal recognition in Japanese media during the 1990s, its roots can be traced back to ‘Yaoi,’ a concept originating in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Despite its decades-old origins, BL narratives have experienced a surge in popularity over the past decade. Amidst this trend, the South Korean manhwa “Jinx” has emerged as a beloved fan favorite. Penned and illustrated by Mingwa since 2022, “Jinx” entered the scene following the success of Mingwa’s earlier Yaoi or BL manhwa titled “BJ Alex.”
Recapping chapter 51 of “Jinx,” readers witnessed the gripping drama unfold as physical therapist Kim Dan faced the tempting proposition of five thousand dollars for a night with top-paid MMA fighter Joo Jaekyung. Released by Lezhin Publishing House, the latest chapter continued the intense narrative, depicting another round of the fiery confrontation between Jaekyung and Jumin. After enduring five tumultuous rounds, the judges declared the match a tie, much to Jaekyung’s frustration. This frustration led him to confront Kim alone in the locker room, accusing him of greediness and expressing his distrust.
As anticipation mounts for the next installment, “Jinx” chapter 52 is slated for release on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at approximately 7:00 am PST.
