Thoughts

The manga starts off with introductions to the characters, and I really love how we get a panel showcasing all of them by their weapons.

So as soon as I saw Lolo, it was a wrap! It was the beard for me, lmao. Then we see them all suited up in their armor, even more infatuated by him.

Also the art style, the detail, the background, it’s all beautiful!! I feel like the attention to detail really made this manga all the better, especially the fight scenes.

Speaking of fight scenes, when the first fight starts with Judah & Taling battling for a spot in the competition I was caught off guard with Judah’s special move, I wish he kept his mouth shut and kept it secret though.

It’s not a fluffy BL by no means!! I’d describe it as a funny, action filled bl with some romance sprinkled in. I really like that actually, the plot is actually decent and there’s a lot of explicitness as well, a good balance.

Conclusion

Overall I’d definitely recommend this manga to those who love bl and action manga, it’s the perfect blend of both!

My Score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4.5/5 Stars

Thank you to SubLime and Netgalley for giving me the chance to review this sexy action packed BL

Right off the bat, I’m into this story because of, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, the plot. It somehow manages to NOT take itself too seriously WHILE taking itself seriously. This wacky premise has the nerve to have an entire civilization of people who hold this tournament in high regard. There are different clans, each clan with different attributes and leaders who contribute something of value to the island paradise.

You actually end up appreciating all the historical bits that tell you what each clan is known for along with the history of this tournament. There is actually quite a bit of content to keep up with, even if it all leads to dick jokes (it’s called The Great Wyrm Tournament because the clans liken their manhoods to a snake) and pages upon pages of smut.

There’s a different type of guy for every clan, from breathtaking beauties to scruffy muscle men. Each character also has a different method of attack. It’s kinda surprising that so many different methods of sexual stimulation were used. No one repeats techniques (save for trying to duplicate what Hart does, sometimes poorly, because you must use lubrication, my guy) and, somehow, spectators have commentary that sounds like you’re watching a sporting match. “Yes, Blanc of the Moon Clan is good with his mouth if he’s able to take in the girth of his opponent like this.”

It’s serious business.

And I love it.

Put this one on the list of "books I wouldn't have thought to pick up if not for work." <i>Dick Fight Island</i> is basically what it sounds like - a battle manga about guys waging war with their wangs, albeit perhaps not in the way you're thinking. Then again, it's published by SuBLime, so maybe it's <i>exactly</i> the way you're thinking - because if you've ever read a shounen battle manga and thought, "Gee, I love all of this homoerotic subtext," then you are about to become one very, very happy reader.

And you know what? It's actually kind of fun. It's not my usual thing, but it has a good sense of humor about its ludicrous factor (in fact, I'd argue that it's deliberately silly), and there are a couple of genuinely sweet romance subplots. (Plus it's largely uncensored, which will make a difference to some readers.) I wouldn't suggest it for everyone, but if you're into goofy BL, this is a surprising amount of insane fun.
