Galaxy The Prettiest Star Jadzia Axelrod Read this a couple weeks ago. It’s very nice. Cool to see a trans story with trans authorship coming out of one of the big US comics publishers. Already picked up some of the later stuff the character appears in and the sequel.

How Do We Relationship? Tamifull Loved this. Characters feel very real and well explored. Conveys every heartbreak and celebration of their lives so well. Wonderful to read about adults in a realistic world with believable flaws and nuanced portrayal of their behavior/choices.

English volume 1 cover for "How Do We Relationship?" featuring the two leads: Miwa and Saeko. Miwa is wearing a light colored sweater and dark skirt with buttons and has a white purse on her shoulder. Behind her, Saeko, wearing a red jacket, black pants, and a fanny pack with a small black creature charm, is hugging her around the neck and chest while leaning up to kiss her cheek. Behind them an assortment of other characters is looking out a window cheering.

A Psalm For The Wild Built & A Prayer For The Crown Shy Becky Chambers Delightful novellas set in an optimistic future. A human&robot pair meet after years of robots, having gained consciousness and liberated themselves, living separately from humans. Together they interrogate many aspects of life.

Cover for “A Psalm for the Wild Built” featuring an abstract winding road straddled by flowers. Along the road are a human with a cup of tea sitting in a cart and a robot with its hand outstretched to some butterflies. The title overlays the scene

Smash or Pass Birdie Schae Wanted a light lesbian romance that I could finish in a sitting or two and this filled that need. Very much a YA book. More about the MC, Ellie, learning to better understand her autism and unmask than the romance but the romance is there and the autism stuff is well done

Cover of Smash or Pass. The authors name, Birdie Shae, and title are at the top. The background is a blue sky with big puffy white clouds. In the foreground is and illustration of two girls kissing. The girl on the right, blonde and wearing a vollyball uniform, holds a volleyball in front of both her and the other shorter brown haired girl's mouths hiding the kiss itself

Girlfriend Manual (season 1) Saefira I really liked this! Sometimes I feel like webtoons have pacing issues and especially big backstory stuff and some character development can zip by too fast but I didn’t have that issue with this one. Nice story, good characters, excited for season 2!

Cover image for Girlfriend Manual. Both main characters are lying back intertwined partially resting against each others legs. The peach haired Athena holds a book and looks down concerned at the short dark haired Levi who is looking away with a dead expression

Untitled Flowers Isaka A trans woman and a cis woman who live together end up caring for the cis woman's niece. It's looking at womanhood from many different angles and is very promising. Seems it is going to be short, and only a few chapters are translated, so I hope it sticks the landing.

A Couple Drifting in the Wind By, Puebro Finally got around to starting this. Enjoying it so far. That centipede tattoo😳

Catherine.@venturecomunist· Jun 25

Her Mountain, Her Ocean You Zuo Wenhua, He Huo, Fu Hua I quite liked this one. Two very different girls who've been abused find new family in each other.

Catherine.@venturecomunist· Jun 25

Isso, Koi Dattara Yokatta no ni By, Rui Obata Not a lot to say. It was fine. A bit too short. Needed more fleshing out.

Catherine.@venturecomunist· May 27

Hand Jumper sleepacross Kids with powers get drafted into a violent police corps to fight powered criminals. The MC is a nightmare mess constantly doing Light Yagami plans while everyone around her goes “what is wrong with you?” and she’s just like “I’m normal”. There’s even a 1% chance of yuri. 🐶♟️

Title banner for Hand Jumper. To the right is the title. On the left is the main character Sayeon wearing a suit and glasses. Her eyes are glowing teal and her right arm is raised, fingers posed to snap. A teal glow is visible near her fingers

Your Fascination, My Fear Kuzushiro Horror yuri one shot! Kuzushiro’s art is well suited to drawing horror. It looks great! We only get a glimpse at the characters. With more fleshing out I think the dynamic between the 2 leads would be interesting, but there’s no time to explore it in 1 chapter.

Cover and mage for the manga showing the two main girls embracing each other with somewhat sinister somewhat loving looks

The Gal Who is Kind to Magical Girls By, Ironon If this doesn’t end up trans yuri I’m going to have a mental breakdown!! All the pieces are there!!! There is simply nothing heterosexual or cisgender about these first few chapters. I refuse to accept the possibility.

Japanese cover image for the manga. One girl in the background where’s a school uniform (the titular gyaru), the girl in the foreground has purple hair and is wearing an elaborate magical girl outfit, between them sits a small black rabbit like creature with big floppy ears and blood dripping out of one eye

Unfortunately it’s this. We got no chapters for ages after this. Nightmare cliffhanger. One of the most memorable moments in the series for me. Saki at peak gay panic.

Page from The Moon on a Rainy Night. Kanon is smiling and says “Heck, you might as well come right out and say you’re in love with me!” followed by “Oops! There I go teasing you again.”

Saki blushing harder than anyone has ever blushed a pure look of terror in her face. Kanon looks at her concerned.

Saki nervously shouts about having to go home and forgetting to stop by the supermarket for her mom before bolting away from Kanon leaving Kanon behind looking scared and confused

Our Love is Disgusting By, Usui Shio Was really going somewhere. Shame it got cut short. Still a good read and I can appreciate where it probably would have gone had it had another volume or two to earn something like the ending we get.

Japanese volume one cover for Our Love is Disgusting featuring the two main girls holding hands in the center surrounded by upturned school desks. Running down either side is large scratchy Japanese text (presumably the title)

Japanese volume one cover for Our Love is Disgusting featuring the Remu being puppets intimately by Niji in the center surrounded by cracked phone screens. Running down either side is large scratchy Japanese text (presumably the title)

Three years on HRT today!

Edited manga and angel of Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh with speech bubbles saying “Hey the rest of us are gonna do HRT in the bathroom wanna join”

Catherine.@venturecomunist· May 3

Zankou Saisatsu By, Wakadori Nikomi Only one chapter out so far but I’m sold! Photography yuri about a girl who sucks lol. Sleeps around with women because she thinks women in love make the best subjects for her photographs.

Catherine.@venturecomunist· May 3

Sugar Girl Drip Ao Tsukinowa Overall my thoughts are positive and I quite liked it. Really strong beginning and some good characters. There’s some pacing weirdness halfway through to the end. Not sure if it was cancelled or just got away from the author? Regardless, this is still an excellent read!

Volume one cover for Sugar Girl Drip featuring the blonde Marie in a pink frilly dress making a heart shape with her hands surrounded by tons of little pink hearts and some black ink blots

Volume two cover for Sugar Girl Drip featuring the dark haired Aki, her face has a couple bandaids on it,making a heart shape with her hands surrounded by tons of little pink hearts and some black ink blots

A Joyful Life By, Gumdung Joy's journey trying to escape and heal from an abusive situation is well handled. I think Aerie's story needed a little more of something but it might have been the translation I read which I thought was a bit weak. Overall well told nice story.

Korean language cover image for "A Joyful Life" featuring the title in a pink circle at the top and below that the two lead women sitting down and leaning on each other.

Catherine.@venturecomunist· May 1

The Ramparts of Ice By, Koucha Agasawa The Ramparts of Ice anime pretty quickly piqued my interest. I saw some unpleasant aspects of myself in Koyuki early on, so I gave the manga a shot. Very glad I did! Great story of learning to heal, understand yourself, and open up to others.

Japanese volume 1 cover for "The Ramparts of Ice" featuring main character Koyuki Hikawa staring out at the viewer, hair blowing in the wind.

Regarding Saeki Sayaka Vol 3 Hitoma Iruma More to latch onto here than the previous volume but rushes through events too quickly. Characters carried over from the manga, including Sayaka, just don't feel quite right to me. I think I enjoyed this one the most? but I was still kinda let down.

Cover for volume three of Bloom into You Regarding Saeki Sayaka. Features the title int the foreground along with the names of the author, Hitoma Iruma, and original Bloom Into You author and art provider for the novel, Nakatani Nio. Behind the letter is a picture of the titular Saeki Sayaka on the left in a vertically striped black, mint green, white, and violet skirt and white top carrying a tote bag smiling and holidng hands with another running smiling girl who wears black jeans, a white sleavless shirt and a backpack.

Pink Candy Kiss Ami Uozumi Reread all of Pink Candy Kiss because I keep ADHD forgetting to keep up with chapter releases and losing track of things. Nothing to say about it that hasn't been said. Art is beautiful. Story is compelling. The girls are yearning. Excellent manga.

Catherine.@venturecomunist· Mar 14

Regarding Saeki Sayaka Vol 2 Hitoma Iruma 1st chapter rushes through some of the events of the manga and the rest focuses on Sayaka in high school before the manga. I think it would have been better off recapping the manga from her perspective for it's whole length. What we got was sort of boring

English-language cover for the novel featuring Sayaka and Touko in their school uniforms sitting on a bench with their school bags next to them surrounded by fallen ginkgo leaves.

Secrets of the Silent Witch Vol 1 Matsuri Isora I liked the anime last year and have since read the manga and am now starting to read the books. I just keep getting drawn to little Monica's story even though it's not that original nor is this book that well written to be honest but I had a fun time

Japanese-language cover for volume one of Secrets of the Silent Witch. The main character, Monica, is pressing her finger to her lips with one hand and holding a long staff with bells and a ring at the end and wearing a hooded robe. On her shoulder sits her black cat Nero

An offering for the Wah! thread. From chapter 22 of Pink Candy Kiss.

Excerpts from a page of the manga Pink Candy Kiss containing three panels. The first shows two women close to each other, the second shows the main character Taka with a blushing face and a thought bubble containing “That girl’s so cute…”. Another thought bubble at the bottom of the panel say “Wah!”. The final panel shows the two women from the first panel are now making out

Catherine.@venturecomunist· Feb 15

Didn't We Say We'd Live Together If We're Alone at Thirty? by Kuzushiro (!) Only 1 translated chapter but promising start! Glad to see one about adult women and preparing for the painful relatability of their anxiety at entering your 30s without feeling like you’ve really had much of a life yet.

A page from the manga. Three panels. At the very top outside the panels is written “New serialzation”. Below that are two panels. The left one shows a ticking wall clock and the right shows the sliding door on the exterior of a house at night. Most of the page is taken up by the larger third panel which shows one of the two main characters, Miyagi Taukiko, a woman with long black hair laying down in bed covered partially by a blanket wearing a long sleeve tshirt and leggings surrounded by the text “Even if you aren’t particularly good friends you can live together right?!” and “These two women find out their thirties are more fun than they expected”. Below that is the title and authors name

There is No Love Wishing Upon a Star By, Shinoa Absolutely adored this. Hurt to read every panel. Everyone in this is so pretty. Fuyuki you are Earth’s strongest yearner that’s why only you could be sent Eri. Short but everything moves at a low simmer. Bubbling away until it suddenly boils over

Fuyuki looking longingly toward the viewer through a window. Reflected next to her in the window can be seen Eri the object of her yearning stare

Eri looking at the viewer with an angry expression. Speech bubbles read “If you make Fuyuki cry, I won’t forgive you.”

Eri and Fuyuki standing back to back with a partially open curtain between them. Both are wearing dresses and reaching out towards separate butterflies in front of them. There are als the leaves and branches of a small plant in from of Eri

You’re not thinking too much of yourself. It’s this meme. Cisness was indoctrinated into them and they’ve never questioned that and people tend to, annoyingly, lean into “it’s not that deep” on stuff they’re ignorant about especially if it comes with the blindspots gender does for so many cis people

An image in two parts with “vs” between them. On the left the text “talking about gender with trans people” above an image of two ancient Greek philosophers engaged in conversation. On the right the text “talking about gender with cis people” above an image of an adult woman playing with a child.

Going to be a perfect cold snowy night across much of the U.S. to watch one of my favorite movies: Moonlit Winter (2019). Just rewatched it a few weeks ago, but already thinking of rewatching again!

Poster for Moonlit Winter. Two women, one facing out toward the viewer the other behind her and facing the background. Both are in winter clothes. They stand in a. Snowy field. Korean text on the poster shows the title and original release date and some other text that’s probably credits/tagline/review blurbs (sorry I don’t know what they say)

Lilies Bloom in 100 Days By, muromaki Not all of these is for me but that’s ok because there’s 100 different ones of them! All the artwork is great. Muromaki puts a lot of detail into the artwork on every page. Lots of fun and sweet stories crammed well into one page/panel each.
