Recs if you like Land of the Lustrous, Vol. 1...

Manga isn't just for kids! These are titles intended for more mature audiences, including my personal recs and influential, well-known and bestselling titles that are available in English. Whether it's frank discussions of mental illness, abuse, LGBTQIA+ issues, violence, sexuality, horror or dark fantasy, these are manga that either originally ran in seinen (young adult men) or josei (young adult women) magazines, or I've otherwise broadly categorized through research as "not for for kids."

If you like magical girl media, you'll probably like these books. These books either give off magical girl vibes or are fully magical girl fiction.

Only including manga that ISN'T explicitly in the magical girl genre (since those are much easier to find)

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.)

Happy Agender Pride Day! There are far fewer books with agender characters than we deserve, but we've got a few we'd recommend. NOTE: Many of these it's subtextual/open to interpretation what the character's gender is. Not all of these have canonical agender representation!
