“Threads of Me and You” is a sweet, fluffy yuri series about Yui, a woman who is undermined by others due to her youthful face, learning to develop her own fashion sense thanks to Mizuho, a mature-looking woman who always wears kimonos. While the romance hasn't blossomed yet between the leads, it's clear that we're in for another sweet couple that Inui Ayu is typically known for, and we've recently been introduced to explicitly sapphic characters outside of the main couple. Perfect for readers who love romance manga with a strong focus on character development and personal growth.

This deserves more love! It's by the creator of “She Loves to Cook, & She Loves to Eat”, and like that manga this title is an earnest romance with relatable queer characters. Takaki is a pansexual man who has found it difficult to pursue relationships due to instances of monosexism he has encountered in life, including from a past boyfriend. He meets Yuichiro, who is incredibly blunt in his opinions but also extremely earnest in his emotions. After Yuichiro confesses, Takaki has to examine his past baggage along with defining his own feelings towards the other man. Yuichiro can seem a bit intense, but he's a big sweetheart who respects Takaki's boundaries and interests (he honestly reads as potentially autistic-coded to me). In short, this a lovely, sincere manga. Here's hoping more of Sakaomi Yuzaki's manga gets translated soon!
