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. It was a pretty solid guess that I would also enjoy Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon by Shio Usui, as they’re both slice-of-life manga about adult women who fall in loveRead More

Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary!

A Cute Yuri Romance for Cat Lovers: My Cute Little Kitten Vol. 1 by Milk Morinaga
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Six years ago (!!), I read Girl Friends by Milk Morinaga, a yuri manga series I’d heard recommended endlessly.

Danika reviews Our Teachers are Dating! Vol. 1 by Pikachi Ohi
I’ve been on a bit of a manga kick lately, especially lesbian manga. (See my post Lesbian Manga and Yuri Manga: What’s the Difference and Where Should You Start? for more.)

Lesbian Manga and Yuri Manga: What’s the Difference and Where Should You Start?
Getting into a new genre or format is always intimidating. Manga is a Japanese form of comics that tends to be endlessly marathonable: once you get started on a series, you want to sit down and read them all.

Danika reviews Girl Friends: The Complete Collection 2 by Milk Morinaga
I’ve been on a bit of a manga binge lately, and one of the ones I’ve enjoyed the most is Girl Friends. The first volume was adorable and such a slow-burn romance, though there was some internalized homophobia. The second volume is more from Akko’s perspective, which made me enjoy it even more. While Mariko wasRead More
Danika reviews Girl Friends: The Complete Collection 1 by Milk Morinaga
Everything I’ve read talking about yuri seems to mention Girl Friends, so I thought it was time for me to read this quintessential yuri series. And I can see how it’s the example of yuri! It’s school girls, and a lot of blushing, and the typical “girls don’t do this” heteronormativity. I read this in the omnibus, andRead More
