NEW!5 LGBTQ+ Reads for Pride Month

Misc #LGBTQ+ #Recommendations

Happy Pride from the team here at K MANGA!

While we’re celebrating, we’d like to share some of our favorite LGBTQ+ manga available on K MANGA.

Boys Run The Riot

Boys Run The Riot introduces us to Ryo, a transgender teen navigating his identity and how he fits into society. His world changes when he meets Jin, who shares his deep enthusiasm for fashion. This coming-of-age story is well worth checking out.
You can also check out the one-shot sequel Boys Run The Riot -In Transition- in the Young Magazine Special Issue on K MANGA.

What Did You Eat Yesterday?

Shiro and Kenji, a gay couple in their early 40s, share a life and meals together in this down-to-earth glimpse into their day to day. This slice-of-life is super wholesome and a genuinely enjoyable read without those huge rollercoaster emotions you might ordinarily find when the main characters are much younger.

Run Away With Me, Girl

Run Away With Me, Girl offers a glimpse into the lives of two women under the pressure of society to be “normal”. A dose of hopeless romanticism mixed with the bitter pill of reality makes this a truly compelling read, though at times, it isn’t an easy one.

I Got Reincarnated in a (BL) World of Big (Man) Boobs

Sometimes, you just need a little comedy… The fourth wall is a barrier that was made to be broken in this isekai BL trope-ridden romp. The “Title God” takes us on a fun ride with some surprisingly emotional moments. Stay tuned for more in future…

The Moon on a Rainy Night

The development of Saki and Kanon’s friendship is sweet and gorgeously illustrated. It shows a very sensitive approach to invisible disability, communication, and romance, and will also have its very own anime adaptation! If you’re a fan of yuri romance, you’ll likely enjoy this one.

If you haven’t read these yet, we hope you enjoy them, and if you have, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

Happy reading!
