Recs if you like RG Veda, Vol. 01...

🌹Genre-defining, highly popular, and influential classics of Shoujo (girls') manga, all bestsellers in their demographic or influential series by the Year 24 Group.🌹

✨The Year 24 Group was a group of manga creators (mangaka), all women, who redefined shoujo manga in the 1970s, focusing on contemporary problems and high-stakes, emotional drama as well as defining shoujo's signature style of big, emotional splash pages, beautiful men, using imagery to illustrate emotional states, and on-panel text to denote inner thoughts - all visuals used across all genres of manga to this day. The Year 24 Group is also credited with creating the genre of BL, aka BoysLove, sometimes called shounen ai, as well as pioneering GL, GirlsLove or yuri.✨

🎀All of these have official English releases and were first printed in magazines for girls.🎀

💖Expect sparkles, pounding hearts, and romance, and BL, but also science fiction, fantasy, action and melodrama!💖

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day! Here's a pile of books that our rec list contributors love that feature non-binary representation (some explicit, some subtextual/interpreted - so your interpretation may differ, and that's okay!). (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.)

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.)

Here is a compilation of all the works created by the manga artists that are part of the all-female group CLAMP!!

I didn’t include collaborations and there may be some works missing if they were not yet in the PB database. (I’ll add them eventually, but it may take a little time, because right now I'm lazy… 😅)

Don’t hesitate to tell me if there are works to be added, that I forgot!! 😊
