Recs if you like Not So Shoujo Love Story, Vol. 1 (Not So Shoujo Love Story, #1)...

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

because who doesn’t want a strong, kind butch in their life that’s a little dumb?

inspired by the himbo quest but make it butch <3 all genres included and suggestions always welcome! stud, butch, masc, and any variant included, too, whether they officially use the title or not :)

full disclosure: i have not (yet) read all of these, so if the butchness or himboness is lacking for one, do comment.

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!

curated with love by a real life butch 🫡

will update continuously

Not all of these characters use the terms “butch” and “femme” for themselves but I’ve included them based on my personal reading of their characters (aka butch intuition). Check out my other lists for works with canonical butches and femmes.

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

includes chapter books & graphic novels
