Welcome back to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club! For August’s BL Manga of the Month, Courtney is diving into Lullaby of the Dawn—a haunting, beautifully drawn fantasy romance about devotion, destiny, and the unspoken cost of survival. When young priest Elva is introduced to a boy named Alto, what begins as a sacred duty turns into something far more complex. In a world where ritual, sacrifice, and silence govern everything, the growing bond between them challenges the very system that brought them together. Courtney unpacks the manga’s ethereal worldbuilding, themes of power and protection, and how Lullaby of the Dawn crafts intimacy in quiet, aching moments. If you're into forced closeness, tender angst, and soft boys caught in brutal systems, this one will break your heart in the best way. New episodes drop every 5th, 15th, and 25th!
