Last week for our Pride Month history series, we looked at two impactful creators in the Queer comics space, Shou Arai and Alison Bechdel. Today we'll be discussing LGBTQ+ comics that you should be reading, and taking a look into some books that have been banned across libraries in the United States due to their queer content.

Kicking off this article are two books that I have found enjoyment in reading, FunGirl and LumberJanes. Fungirl is a story about a girl, Fungirl, just trying to get her life together, watching it fall apart, and embracing the chaos of it all. I think chaos is a great way to describe the vibe of this book, as I found it unpredictable in a...

Last week for our Pride Month history series, we looked at the history of LGBTQ+ representation and presentation in manga. For today's article, we're looking into two creators who have made waves using their own lived experiences as the focus of their works, Shou Arai and Alison Bechdel.

Our Creator Interview series returns today with LycheeDevil, also known as Vee, a professional freelance artist and mangaka. I came across Vee's work on Twitter during the Summer of Manga contest in 2023 held by Saturday AM in which she submitted her title Scarlet Vagabond. They were published as a result, and I've been following her since. Vee also puts out helpful advice and tips about making manga on her social media, and is continuing to work with Saturday AM. A rising star in the manga community and a helpful one at that, so she's a perfect feature for this interview series.
