| Yaoi is short and finished into 1 or 2 volumes (or 7, but never more than 10). So authors are always into new series. Shounen romance is also in that bin. Light novel adaptations are very trial and error, but pay the bills for the new mangaka to do something better later. Fumetsu no anata he, and Koe no Katachi author first work was a Mardock Scramble lightnovel to manga adaptation. New mangaka doing adaptations are prone to getting axed faster. West never got them, but some trends have a lot of manga, finished, unpublished in the west, and cheap to license. And some of these trends even have good works. |

| Because it sells. I don't think there's more deep reason than this. I also don't think previous answers really answer your question because now you're starting to wonder "OK, but then why there's so many isekai LNs in the first place", well, because it sells. People like reading stories they already saw 1000 times before. It is easier to read something mid or shit than something really good with deep story that you need to think about even after completing comic/book. And I'm saying this from experience of reading BL for around 10 years now. Oh right, and Sasori's answer of "but never more than 10" is just straight up incorrect. We have Hidoku Shinaide, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, Junjou Romantica, Honto Yajuu, Sasaki to Miyano, Hidamari ga Kikoeru, Loveless, and probably Saezuru Tori wa Hatakanai will also have more than 10 volumes andd that's only manga that I can think of right now. On top of that if you look at Korean market you'll quickly see that BLs are in fact not that short but still get licensed and sell like crazy. |
