Hi Lullabying! Article is long enough and new enough. The source confirms the hook (yes, I can read Japanese) but I'm not really sure if the hook is interesting enough. Perhaps you could mention that it's yaoi in the hook as well? Just a suggestion. BorgQueen (talk) 19:38, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the feedback; however, this series being yaoi is really nothing new as there are tons of other series that also fall under the same genre. lullabying (talk) 23:37, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - How about a hook saying "a cumulative total of over 1 million physical copies have been sold in Japan"? I'm not a manga expert but I suppose it's not that common. BorgQueen (talk) 23:50, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - Unfortunately, it seems to be. How about this: ALT2: "... that Japanese bookstore employees recommended Candy Color Paradox as one of the best yaoi manga titles in 2016?" (Soure: https://natalie.mu/comic/news/179339) lullabying (talk) 03:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
