MANGA RECS for PRIDE MONTH and JUNETEENTH 2026!
If you've not read MAGILUMIERE MAGICAL GIRLS, KEMONO JIHEN, KOWLOON GENERIC ROMANCE, and FIREFLY WEDDING -- then you're missing out on some of the strongest female, queer, and/or genderfluid characters in fiction.
Likewise, MANCHURIA OPIUM SQUAD, BILLY BAT, COSMOS, and TOWER DUNGEON showcase some of the most imaginative, intimate, and character driven stories in this format.
And lastly, there ARE black stories in manga
Saturday AM's award-winning CLOCK STRIKER by Frederick L. Jones x @gladiskstudio is a steampunk, battle manga with the 1st black female lead hero in a shonen (also -- a new OFFICIAL FRENCH LANGUAGE VERSION launches next month from @nobi__nobi, HALF IS MORE covers being bi-racial in Japan, DEEP THREE is a basketball manga, and APPLE BLACK ORIGINS is Saturday AM's 1st light novel, and the award-winning title is a prequel to the hit African manga by @WhytManga

I've been repeating this to myself all morning trying my best to stay on this planet: existence is resistance.
If you're a targeted group and all you can do the next four years is stay alive, I'm so so proud of you. I love you so much. Your life is worth everything to me.
