Recs if you like Low Orbit...

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

Queer sci-fi 💫 (Not always in space, I think I've covered most sci-fi subgenres)

A list of books (both fiction and non-fiction) featuring LGBTQ+ characters and/or theme, written by authors from Southeast Asia (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam). Will be updated continuously.

a bunch of recommendations from my most-read genre 💕
