Not sure if this has shown up here before but I just read Josou shite Off-Kai ni Sanka shite mita or "I Cross-Dressed for an IRL Meetup". Very simple premise; internet friends meet for the first time to enjoy sweets at a bakery and it turns out they all have some gender stuff; the two leads are cross-dressers, one is a femboy, and another is a trans woman. Something about this just hits the right vibe with me, and I think it's how even though it's lighthearted, the way the characters present or identify is unquestioned and taken fully seriously. Any comedy comes from basically juggling life stuff, like how the two leads aren't exactly public about what they do.

Also I 100% know women who've said this about themselves:


The manga is a bit broken up due to serialization. It's weird. If you read the pre-serialization version here, from when it was still on Pixiv, you should be fine to read the serialized version where it was picked up by Kodansha here.

I've finished the pre-serialization and added the serialized version on baka-updates, because wow this is cute and powerful.

Wow! Another manga about an OL who is competent at her job but sloppy at home and needs someone to take care of basic tasks for her. We truly live in blessed times.

Also two more broom yuri chapters. Hooray for broom yuri!

Hey folks! Pride is in a month which means I need to start ordering books now for my store’s manga Pride endcap. We have plenty of l and g titles, so I’d like to make sure we have a selection of btia+ titles to display as well. I have a small list already, but are there any books that I’m missing?

I'd suggest Umi ga Hashiru End Roll for ace rep, but I'm not sure if it has an English translation, and it's relatively early in the story so the (apparent) ace identity of one of the protagonists hasn't been explored much yet.

Similarly, I'd suggest Skip and Loafer for trans rep, but it's a secondary character (albeit a prominent one), and I'd imagine customers would be looking for protagonists.

Yeah Skip and Loafer is great, but isn’t exactly the best fit for and endcap for that reason. Also, it’s weirdly difficult to order for the store. Seven Seas never prints enough of the first volume

For Some Reason Suddenly I Wanted To Flirt With My Coworker Who Sits Next To Me got uploaded (again?), so it should be completed.

Also, there's a new series called Ayaka Is In Love With Hiroko.

EDIT: There's also a oneshot about someone going to a love hotel with her childhood friend.

Yeah, I love that this is just apparently what she does when she ends up in a new city. Don't know your way around? Just lean up on some girls and put on the flirt so hard that they question their sexuality.

I mean it's explicitly a sci-fi romance between women, the bar of "gay enough" would be kind of weirdly high if it didn't qualify

it's also pretty good. I've cooled on it a lot as time passed but that's for more personal reasons, there's a lot of cool stuff in it and Kozakura's whole deal in particular still really works for me

(caveat: I think the books are the only good version, though the manga does have its fans I guess)

The author of Otherside Picnic is operating at levels of yuri science that we mere mortals can scarcely comprehend.

the otherside picnic guy's interview has some weird lines that people dont really mention, a lot of talking about yuri anime/manga like 'obviously if a guy was around then lesbianism wouldn't happen,' or talking about the viewer as a voyeur in a way that presumes the viewer is automatically a straight male, or talking about how actually 'yuri' can be a relationship between a man and a woman. do not recommend idolizing him from a western lgbt viewpoint.

note that this isnt me trying to cancel the otherside picnic guy or anything, hes just a weird anime nerd, its just that interview gets spread around a lot in very selectively edited form.

He has a bit in that interview where he criticizes the idea that men being introduced into a story removes the possibility of lesbians. He's definitely a weird anime nerd and he says some pretty iffy stuff, but I think the interview is still worth reading

Yuri made me human posted:

6. "It's not yuri if there's a male character"

The recent influx of yuri works established that yuri featuring men in its cast is also a thing. For example, in the Korean movie The Handmaiden there is a "man who wants to get between the two girls", however it's an incredibly strong yuri, and it even accomplished an unbelievable feat of making said male character seem charming.
