Recs if you like To the Stars and Back: A Graphic Novel (To the Stars and Back, #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

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

I have spent years curating a list of graphic novels for myself on goodreads and I thought this place would be great to share it and share my love for graphic novels. I’m not picky about the plot or topics of the graphic novels I read so the list is pretty much any graphic novel I have heard of regardless of topic. Many are middle grade or young adult as is the general trend of the format but recommendations for more (especially adult) would be greatly appreciated.

Also manga is not included.

While mainly manga, also includes manwha and manhua

Mostly picked popular ones, and a few that are less known. Just a point to jump off from.

Some are ongoing. Some are smutty. No black or red flags.

I’ve not read all so if some are misplaced, let me know!! Also, recommendations are welcomed!

Recommendations are welcome!

mlm stories !! this is very much not a recommendations. if there are other books you think i should add let me know !!
