Recs if you like She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat, Vol. 1...

Books about asexuality, be they non-fiction or novels. Everyone should read at least one asexual book from time to time.

Rep is usually the main character but sometimes side characters. 🏳️‍🌈 ♠️

Yes, demi folks are included on this list!

in progress - taking suggestions

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Don't shoot the messenger.

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.

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."

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🤗

They're here. This is a list of manga about adults in contemporary, non-fantasy settings. BL and GL are included here. SPOILERS: Actually some of them are unemployed as a plot point.

Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.

📓Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)

❕Disclaimer: I have not read all these books. Please feel free to correct me in the comments if I have made a mistake in my research. Or if you have any new titles to recommend.

Graphic novels and manga in which gay people bake and cook

These are all manga where food is a major focus or the 'point' of the story. Only vol. 1 of a series will be listed. Recommendations always welcome

✨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.)

a list of books with ace rep. i have read some of these but not all, so if any of these don't have ace rep or have harmful rep pls do let me know! 🖤🩶🤍💜

This is my favorite niche in the wonderful world of yuri

List inspired by @Lady_of_the_Library's club post. Recommendations provided by the PB community! These stories are intended for adult readers (18+) and often feature realistic, mature romantic relationships, complex emotional situations, and sometimes explicit content.

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

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

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

series only show first volume, i add series as i read them

Graphic novels with Sapphic representation, not necessarily romance.

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