@wallhackio also congrats on your library card. would you like me to recommend any books, graphic novels, or manga?
@lapis yes
@wallhackio okay I'll come up with a nice list
Your library is unlikely to have it but if it has "A Bride's Story" by Kaoru Mori (19th century Central asia story focusing on various marriages and family life with beautiful artwork) absolutely grab it
Spy x Family - Tatsuya Endo
Fence - C. S. Pacat and Johanna the Mad (it's about fencing but gay but nothing happens on the page I don't have the latest volume but not so much as a KISS has happened yet it is the slowest of slow burns)
on that note
Anything by Ngozi Ukazu (Famous for check please, did Flip this year, does DC comics like Barda, and Orion (?) I think next year)
Squad - Maggie Tokuda-Hall (Graphic Novel about Female Teen Werewolfs)
Boys Run the Riot, - Keito Gaku (4 volumes; Trans Boy in Japan expressing himself through friendship and fashion)
The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher - E.M. Anderson (Chosen one is an octogenarian; deals a lot with trauma in a thoughtful way)
Wayward Children novella series - Seanan McGuire (A school for coping with the aftermath of portal fantasies. the first one is a mystery, but the rest are usually quests or origin stories. I quite like them)
Pet - Akwaeke Emezi (A take on handling justice in a post-police utopia)
An Unnecessary Woman - Rabih Alameddine (An old woman who translates books for fun reflects on her life in Lebanon)
My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness - Nagata Kabi (an auto-bio manga talking about hiring a lesbian escort, but it's about WAY more than the sex, it's about human needs)
