Danika reviews How Do We Relationship? Volumes 1 & 2 by Tamifull

March 8, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Although I’m far from an expert, I’ve really been enjoying yuri manga lately, especially lesbian manga.

Although I enjoyed books like Girl Friends, I’d rather read about adult characters–hopefully ones that use words like lesbian, bisexual, or queer toRead More

I’m happy to say that this book really surprised me. ThisRead More

Kase-san and Morning Glories manga is about Yamada (despite the name) who develops a crush on Kase-san, a tomboyish track athlete from next class. Yamada is at times reminded that Kase is also aRead More
