Miyako presents a charming historical mystery series that hits comforting genre tropes and will circulate well with readers looking for whodunits and windows into Japanese history. Give to fans of Gosho Aoyama’s Case Closed and Agatha Christie’s classics.

Tagame’s tender title is both a compelling work of art and a testament to how transformative finding community is for young LGBTQIA+ people, with a reach outside of dedicated manga fans. Give this title to readers looking for a realistic and character-driven portrait of gay life.

A rare comedy that presents an asexual lead with sincerity, this series will appeal to older teens, especially queer teens, eager to explore potential futures.
