Social Bureaucracy as Utopia Building: Quill & Still by Aaron Sofaer Review

May 25, 2025 by Amanda Růžičková

To read Quill & Still by Aaron Sofaer (she/her) is to discover a revolution fought not with swords or spells, but with intake forms and breakfast routines—a village where every stone house stands by mutual agreement (and where the enchanted toilets probably have union representation). Whatever Sophie expected, what she gets is smaller and stranger:Read More

A Queer and Compassionate Foodie Manga Series: She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat Vols 1-5 by Sakaomi Yuzaki Review

February 23, 2025 by Danika Ellis

We’ve recommended this sapphic manga series at the Lesbrary several times before, but that was when there were only a couple volumes out. I just finished volume five, and I needed to let you all know that it has only gotten better with time. She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat is myRead More

A Manga About Love of All Kinds: Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon by Shio Usui

May 22, 2024 by Emory Rose

Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary! Last month, I raved about She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki.

A Slice-of-Life Manga Good Enough to Eat: She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki

April 24, 2024 by Emory Rose

Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary! When I was younger, I wasn’t aware of many f/f manga about adults, so I’m glad to be able to enjoy series like She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki. After reading the first three volumes of this ongoing series, I’mRead More

Manga-Curious: 5 Yuri Manga for First-Time Readers

April 14, 2024 by Theo

For the longest time, I found manga intimidating, especially with the stereotype of manga being either sex fantasies for men or action-packed sagas. However, once I got past that initial fear (thanks to a coworker who helped me find some calmer titles to start off with), I found that manga, just like most formats, isRead More

Susan reviews Eve and Eve by Nagashiro Rouge

February 5, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I believe the entire summary I gave of Eve and Eve on GoodReads was “This is the level of weird horniness I usually find in m/m manga and I almost respect it for that.” The actual summary is that Eve and Eve is Nagashiro Rouge’s single-creator anthology ofRead More
