    Ohh it's so interesting to hear about your Japanese learning expierience! I started reading manga in French about two years ago and it was pretty tough at the beginning (but I did learn it at school for 8 years, so I did not start at zero). But it sure gets easier with time, I hope that you will also come to this point :) The first thing I read in French was Fullmetal Alchemist and honestly I do not understnad how this fantasy manga was easier to read than Sket Dance, a slice-of-life series about students (but the first volumes broke me a lttle bit). So my learning was that comedy and students' slang is not the best to understand in a foreign language. I'm watching the video with a tea and snack right next to me, so when the sakuraco ad came, I was feeling very much prepared😂

    I recommend 12歳! It’s 20 volumes, a cute story about love between 12 year olds (it gets cheesy and funny reading it again as an adult lol) but since it comes with furigana, i think you can learn a lot of kanji that are also a little bit geared towards teens-adults because even though the story revolves around 12 year olds, they tackle adolescence and growing up, so they do use a lot of kanji’s that are a little bit mature more often as compared to stories like doraemon ❤ good luck on your japanese learning journey! Also, i really look forward to your vlogs 💕💕💕

I've started learning Japanese ready for my trip next year, but not able to confidently read a Japanese manga, hopefully soon tho.

    Ooooh these are GOOD! I can't recommend I Think Our Son is Gay and Doughnuts enough too (and Our Dreams at Dusk, with its fair share of content warnings though). I've heard good things of most of the others, with a special mention to I love to cook... of which I've been eagerly awaiting the French release (which just happened, and I'm eager to slowly catch up). Here are my top sapphic ones at the moment, because yuri shall rule the world: - How Do We Relationship? by tamifull (college students, incredible exploration of very messy sapphic romances, one of my favorite mangas period. Has NSFW scenes that feel extremely real and are used to explore the characters's insecurities just as much as everything else) - Even Though We're Adults by Takako Shimura (35 year old women falling in love, one of them is already in a straight marriage; but everyone is mostly of good faith and tries to untangle how this could work, which is a very nice change of pace from this formula) - Run Away With Me, Girl by battan (late 20 women reconnecting after briefly dating until high school, one of them is now married and stuck in an abusive relationship; heavy CW regarding that, simple plot, stellar execution and art style) - Otherside Picnic by Iori Miyazawa (almost-horror, uncanny genre fiction, just as much as it is yuri. Follows two college students bonding over the exploration of an otherworld where Japanese urban legends and true ghost stories live. The protagonist is extremely neurodivergent-coded, canonically has PTSD and some kind of dissociative disorder, slowly and organically learns that you can be gay and not to be in denial of her own feelings. Originally a (great) light novel.) Other titles I want to mention (but I'll keep it brief) include: Kase-san and... (Kase-san and Morning Glories, then Kase-san and Yamada for the sequel series) (staple good high school yuri) Whisper Me a Love Song (staple good high school yuri) The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All (good high school yuri with an emphasis on rock and a striking art style) The Moon on a Rainy Night (realistic closeted sapphic + love interest with hearing disability) The Summer You Were There (tragic, rather nonstandard high school yuri, with neurodivergent-coded main character) Goodbye, My Rose Garden (Victorian sapphic historical fiction)

    First of all, I love the video and I'm so excited to read some of these! I've read Our dreams at dusk and its sooo good! Like the art? I love it so much. My recommendation is 'I Hear the Sunspot' for anyone that likes A Sign of Affection this is similar dealing with life for deaf and hard of hearing people in japan. It's about two guys in a relationship and sadly doesn't have any other lgbtq+ characters so far but it is my favorite bl I've read. Happy pride!

    I’ve read most of these and they are absolutely amazing so I’m definitely gonna check out the rest for myself, I have recc for you as your friendly neighborhood asexual: I Want To Be A Wall. It follows newlyweds Yuriko and Gakurouta who have entered into what is essentially a lavender marriage, with Yuriko being aroace (just called asexual in the series but that’s mainly due to Yuriko having limited access to queer terms) and Gakurouta being a gay man in unrequited love with his childhood best friend. It’s a lovely story that I have unfortunately only been able to read the first volume of (I want to buy the next one but finding manga is rough where I live lol) but even with just that it left me a little bit weepy from how much I related to both their struggles, alongside the joy it brought me to see them care for each other so much. Will forever recommend it to anyone I can, I love it so much :)

    So many you discussed in this video are among my favorite manga. Thank you for shining a light on them! For a rec, I would choose “Welcome Back, Aureole” by Takatsu (another pen name for Misaki Takamatsu who is making Skip and Loafer), it’s a oneshot that really rugged at my heart in terms of growing up and relationships changing as you do between two best friends.

    Totally agree with some of the things you said, and before i add my recommendation I just want to say about "Our not-so-lonely plante travel guide", that it also features representation of queer identities other than gay ppl. I'ts one of the most neautiful mangas I have read btw, go and read it now in cas you haven't. Sooo I know a few but I'll have to go with "Fukakai na Boku no Subete wo", I have read it a while a go but it is a must read. It kind of research the gender spectrum from many difference angles, being very gentle, somewhat innocent yet serious, and there is a lot about self searching jorney and self acceptance. There are many beautiful colors of friendshi and love, and hella wide representation : Gay/ lesbian characters, binary trans, bi and pansexual characters, and the main character is non-binary.

    Here's a couple that I own (both are school manga): Girlfriends (does contain a small few scenes of teenage nudity). Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry Blossom Pink (main couple is Nana x Hitomi who attend different high schools, but other pairings from both schools who may or may not be connected to the main couple get a chapter to themselves). Both are by the same author, so characters in one will look very similar to characters in the other.

    Literally just bought the last 4 volumes of My Love Mix-Up, I watched the drama first and fell in love with the characters. It’s such a good series, can’t recommend it enough. Same with Run Away With Me, Girl. It’s one of my favorite GLs, it’s so good and it made me cry. It is a josei and it does cover heavier topics like toxic relationships (not between leads), domestic abuse (not between leads), and internalized homophobia, and it’s so good. It does have a happy ending, and it’s not too long! Only 3 volumes.

    idk where y'all get the impression of yuri being "male fetishization" but it's rare to find yuri that's actually made by men or is "for men". if anything the few yuri that are made by a man are pretty good and i recommend watching/reading them like Revolutionary Girl Utena and Whispered Words. BL is known to be made by women and consumed by women but no one points that out, but somehow GL already gets this dirty img by non-GL readers that it's either the typical "it's boring" or "it's made for the men" sorry if my comment comes off as aggressive. as a yuri fan im just tired of non-gl readers/watchers saying stuff about something yuri when it was never like that. like it's a whole projection 😭
