Recs if you like Even Though We're Adults, 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.

pink, sophisticated & sometimes fatale <3 (added some essential nonfic & poetry!)

the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance

✨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.)

I read so much GL manga on Libby. I thought it might be handy for people to have a list of what I've found. This includes explicit and non-explicit titles, and for series I only put in vol 1. Note that just because it's on Libby doesn't mean any specific library will have it, but you can pick "notify me" to let the library know you are interested, and they may acquire it! This list is only titles that (as far as I know) are from Japan and available in English (does not include manhua or manhwa).

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!

(mostly sapphic) good queer books on my personal wishlist that have an added benefit of looking beautiful on the shelf!

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

in shoujo manga/anime, the “crimson rose and candy” archetype historically features romance between a confident, alluring “crimson rose” (often with high-contrast, dramatic or gothic features and aesthetics) and a more feminine, blithe “candy” (often with low-contrast, airy or pink features and aesthetics). while these stories in yuri originated as queer coming-of-age tragedy, i love identifying similar polarity frameworks in my favourite lesbian/sapphic novels alongside its various subversions!

my fave wlw love stories

I primarily am only adding first volumes, but these are all series.

Manga where there is a sapphic relationships/sapphic mcs for any sapphics who want to get into reading manga!

my all-time favourite sapphic fiction with sizzling chemistry, guaranteed to make you feel at least 40% gayer after reading!

surprise! don’t panic! you’re queer!

my favourite manga with thoughtful queer rep!
