Recs if you like The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All, 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. Mostly serving as an all-in-one-spot list until Pagebound figures something out that works well for multi-genre/format exploration. :)

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

aka my "i just love pretty and cool art, especially when it's lesbian/sapphic" list

We love books with a verbose title, and this list celebrates them! Suggestions welcome 🤗

pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 curating the personality of my aspirations (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

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🤗

❌ online discourse, ✔️ holistic knowledge fiction & non-fiction that will deepen your understanding of sapphism, its language/label evolution, and its intersections with bipoc, gender diversity and bisexuality. (please note “lesbian” terminology was originally an expansive umbrella openly inclusive of fluid sapphics when many books were published, and not all identify as specifically/exclusively wlw!)

I am so SO sick of settling down to get stuck into a new series only to get hooked on the story, and then getting hit in the face with boobs and so-called "fan service". I don't find the oversexualisation of women and MINORS (of any gender) funny or cute; it's disgusting, and I'm sick of it. This is a safe space for manga with NO sexualisation of women, and recs are very much appreciated!! Pls feel free to gush about your faves in the comments too! (light novel recs are welcome too!)

Books with major characters that crossdress or disguise themselves as the opposite gender! Recs always more than welcome 🙏🏼 Bonus points if another character has a sexuality crisis because of the character! 🤭 (Not required though)

✨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.)

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

These sapphic books come from all different genres, each one filling a past Sapphic September prompt plus several bonuses!! How many have you read?

The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release. These have been announced to be in production but some don’t have a set date for release so don’t hate me if they don’t come out by 2027 😆

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

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.

If the butch deconstructs gender, the femme constructs gender. She puts together her own special ingredients for what it is to be a 'woman,' an identity with which she can live and love.—Joan Nestle, The Persistent Desire

fiction that with care depicts the “fem(me)” as in instinctive lover, nurturer and fierce protector of the queer community, especially in relation to gender nonconforming butch/stud/masc peers. <3 check out my other list of my favourite butchfemme fiction in general!

every yuri manga (or manhua or manhwa) with a physical english release

"i do it for the girls and the gays, that's it"
