Intersectionality, baby! Disability includes many conditions, including - but not limited to - physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychiatric disabilities, sensory disabilities, and neurodivergence.

I've fallen back into my Fall Out Boy era, so was inspired to make a list of books with titles that sound like they could be early Fall Out Boy Songs.

This list is purely subjective and doesn't take into account anything about the book other than the title.

As always, open to suggestions! 🤠

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.

Graphic Medicine is… (an actual term) graphic novels, manga, comics, and visual representation engaging with health and healthcare - from health diagrams visual pamphlets to a graphic novel including health story or rep.

Note: I have NOT read all of these. It’s more a collection of a genre than intended as a recommendation. Do your research! :)

Mostly adult, YA, MG, and some other youth/ all ages titles

In-progress / updated over time Reccomendations welcome

I read so much BL 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).

yaoi with a physical english publication (includes manhwas and manhuas)

series only show first volume, i add books as a i read them

Recommendations welcome! Also, I have not read all so if some are misplaced, let me know!

Manga that I feel in my soul is subtextually or explicitly queer.

Queer characters who like/practice arts of any form! Recommendations welcome!

I asked for some manga recs that were adults (18+) and lgbt+ so I am putting them in this list to share the recs to the world. Thank you to all who helped give so many recs!

Manga like the first warm breeze in spring, endless childhood summers, quiet snow days, nostalgia for days past. Those manga that mache you ache from their atmosphere, their use of space, their familiar narratives and melancholic characters. Manga that make you nostalgic for something you've never experienced.

happy pride month!! this will be updated as I read more queer books.
