Looking for comics focused on brothers or father and son! (fraternal love)

Enthriex 2022-08-02 02:37:06 UTC #1

Since I'm looking for recommendations it's basically promotion for everyone here, so yes, go ahead if you have a story like this

I'm basically fond of stories that show brother relationships, this also applies to father-son relationships but like... As an example of what I mean is, when the story shows there's friction or a supposed hate from the father towards the son or the son towards the father but it's not actually like that.

Arakawa under the bridge has this for example, just a little of it but like, even though I didn't like the manga I was just curious on what the father actually thought of his son xD

I've read manwhas that address father-daughter relationships in a cute manner like "Who made me a princess" but I'd like to read something that is Father-son. Also, in this manner is what I mean brother relationships! Though, the story doesn't have to be exactly like that, it can simply address brothers dynamics and it being relevant to the plot in some way or another!

In my case, I'm making a comic with that sort of specific interest of mine xD As I like exploring how the boys interact between them and it's just a joy to write/draw them!

But yes, if you have brother-brother or father-son I would really love to check it out! I'm not looking for sister-sister but I guess it'd be okay mother-son in the situation I described with the father above. But yes, I'm looking for non romantic plots so please don't recommend me incest x'D (You can recommend me manwhas or mangas if you know of any even if they're not yours!)

Since I appreciate subs when people are genuinely interested, I will subscribe to yours if I plan to follow your story! Wouldn't want to be decorative reader after all! I like cute art styles, non realistic so if I don't sub it may be more of an art style preference thing, so don't worry and just use this thread to promote to others who might sub to you ^^

Hablo español también así que se aceptan recomendaciones de comic o de novela

Ps. I don't like realistic furry comics, but cute furry ones like aggretsuko, odd taxi, sonic characters are welcome!

My stories usually feature two pairs of brothers and goes into the relationships of each. Right now, I have one of those stories posted, but it's a novel. Are you okay with novels recs, or no? (It has illustrations, if that makes any difference)

Hm, how do you feel about mentor-student with a father-son vibe? Or do they have to be blood related (or at least legally adopted)?

Enthriex 2022-08-02 05:00:09 UTC #5

Ohh that sounds nice! I'm good with the vibe too, could you tell me more about it? No spoilers but like a general feel of what the plot is like

Enthriex 2022-08-02 05:01:11 UTC #6

Ohh I might, the illustrations are a plus too! Could you tell me a bit more about the story? It might help others read it too

TheLemmaLlama 2022-08-02 05:14:23 UTC #7

Just a fight scene so far; idk where the plot is going (it's not mine), but the main duo gives me a charming father-son vibe is all

There's also the original which goes into more depth, but it's being rebooted so you might not want to read it when it's not going to continue where it left off

Enthriex 2022-08-02 05:21:33 UTC #8

Ohh alright! I'll check it out then Thanks for the recommendation!

Just dropping Ebisu here, this is such a fantastic comic. It's written and illustrated by a couple of friends of mine.

And my comic will eventually deal with a father-son relationship as a side-plot, but that relationship is, uh... not a happy one, that's for sure. That's not being tackled for a long while, those characters are yet to be introduced. I'll drop it here anyway, in case sci-fi/fantasy is also your jam.

How do you feel about characters that're practically brothers due to them basically being the same exact person? In fact, there is a brotherly-type relationship as the story progresses (no spoilers, but one character's arc is him finding a brother-figure lol).

Enthriex 2022-08-02 19:48:03 UTC #11

Hmm I'd probably take a look but mostly because of the 'exact same person' part xD It sounds like alter-egos or parallel selves and I love that theme haha. But sure, what's the name of the story?

TheDoublekey 2022-08-02 20:13:30 UTC #12

This thread is just perfect for me! The manga I'm currently working on sees two brothers as the protagonists. It does have a similar tone to FMA, although the concept wasn't inspired by it.
The story revolves around two brothers (Frederick and Nigel) who, after a terrible incident, lose the rest of their family. Years later, the two are presented with a chance to save their loved ones and they both embark on a journey in the hopes of rescuing them while also defeating darkness.

Frederick is the kindhearted and courageous one, who always strives to help people in need, whereas Nigel is a coward and doesn't like to risk his own life. Hope you'll like their dynamic!

Genre(s): Fantasy, Action, Adventure, Drama

Summary: In an age where darkness threatens humanity, a terrible accident forever changes the lives of the two brothers Frederick and Nigel. After three long years, they are met by a strange yet eccentric individual who seems to know a lot about their past.

A small space crew is sent on the first trip to Neptune by the space military, but due to the military's incompetence, pretty much everyone in the crew is inexperienced. Also most of the crew is under 20, so there's that.

The story focuses on all of the crew members and their relationships to one another. This includes captain and lieutenant captain, two brothers as different as night and day. One's a stickler for rules and order, the other just wants to have fun. (I also plan to go more into their relationship with their father, but that hasn't come up quite as much yet.)

(These sketches below aren't in the story. I just thought it'd show off their dynamic better.)

Two other brothers are featuring heavily in the story right now, but I can't go much further than that without going into big spoiler territory.

I saw my message didn't state I replied to you but if you see this, do tell me the name of the one you're talking about ^^

Enthriex 2022-08-02 21:14:10 UTC #15

Ohhh nice I'll check it out then thanks for recommending!

bulgariansumo 2022-08-02 21:28:47 UTC #16

No problem! Thanks for checking it out!

Enthriex 2022-08-02 21:54:28 UTC #17

I just read the second chapter! Since the first one is an image, I must say it's cute so I'll keep reading, though, your art is cute! It'd be cool to see a comic version in the future I know it's a lot of work but really would pay off! Also, I don't know if you use it but I recommend wattpad, people can comment on specific paragraphs they like, so you could like use both tapas and wattpad for promoting!

Actually, if you gain a following in wattpad, I'm sure you could promote your comic version so readers there read on Tapas ^^ In any case, it's just an idea loved the sketches of the brothers <3

Enthriex 2022-08-02 21:55:10 UTC #18

Gee it didn't show as a reply for some reason but yeah this basically xD

bulgariansumo 2022-08-02 22:13:23 UTC #19

Oh yeah, I post this story to Wattpad and another site, too, same username! And thanks, I'm glad you like the sketches!

powerplantanimations 2022-08-02 22:44:39 UTC #20

Not exactly parallel selves, more like "two bitter rivals that don't realize that they're similar than they thought" type of deal. In the webcomic dub they have the same voice. :v

It's called that Stick Figure Isekai.

Enthriex 2022-08-02 23:08:52 UTC #21

Ahhh so that's what you meant, sorry, took it quite literal thanks for the rec thoughh
