Recs if you like Bloom Into You Vol. 1...

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

Are you looking to get into Manga, and you are a lover of sapphic reads? Look no further, because here you will find the perfect yuri volume to pick up! (Yuri is the subgenre of sapphic work in Japanese media.) From romcoms to horror to angst to sci-fi and more, here you can find the first volumes, or complete volumes, of many beloved and underrated yuri mangas! 🩷 If there are any reads missing, let me know and I will add them to the list! Happy reading🤗

Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.

📓Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)

❕Disclaimer: I have not read all these books. Please feel free to correct me in the comments if I have made a mistake in my research. Or if you have any new titles to recommend.

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

I read so much GL manga on Libby. I thought it might be handy for people to have a list of what I've found. This includes explicit and non-explicit titles, and for series I only put in vol 1. Note that just because it's on Libby doesn't mean any specific library will have it, but you can pick "notify me" to let the library know you are interested, and they may acquire it! This list is only titles that (as far as I know) are from Japan and available in English (does not include manhua or manhwa).

✨Girl kissers, now at a local bookstore near you!✨

This is an all encompassing list of girls love manga that have been translated into English! There's something here for everyone :)

(Also, just because it's on the list doesn't mean it's a 10/10. Proceed at your own risk.)

put!! them!! both!! on!! the!! cover!! we want chemistry, detailing and design!! WUH! LUH! WUH! shakes the publisher some of these are series so check out the rest!

(mostly sapphic) good queer books on my personal wishlist that have an added benefit of looking beautiful on the shelf!

It's free comic books day, and we love comics and graphic novels every day, so here, have over 150 of our favorite graphic novels starring queer characters. (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Recs based on the 2025 prompts

Graphic novels with Sapphic representation, not necessarily romance.

every single yuri series i could think about (and find on here) some light novels are included too :) recommendations are welcome!

in shoujo manga/anime, the “crimson rose and candy” archetype historically features romance between a confident, alluring “crimson rose” (often with high-contrast, dramatic or gothic features and aesthetics) and a more feminine, blithe “candy” (often with low-contrast, airy or pink features and aesthetics). while these stories in yuri originated as queer coming-of-age tragedy, i love identifying similar polarity frameworks in my favourite lesbian/sapphic novels alongside its various subversions!

I primarily am only adding first volumes, but these are all series.

includes chapter books & graphic novels

all the books that are popular on booktok or simply books that i found on booktok that could have more recognition!! there will be mix of genres and tropes.

Manga where there is a sapphic relationships/sapphic mcs for any sapphics who want to get into reading manga!

sapphic wlw mangas

most of these are series- only put the first for convenience

please recommend more!!

Main characters that are not explicitly confirmed as asexual or whose asexual traits are prescribed to a different factor at play (not being programmed for it, for example).
