Still Sick, Vol. 3 by Akashi

Comics aren’t something you can create by yourself, right? There are people who draw them... and people who read them.

I adored this!! Genuinely one of those 'my face hurts form smiling too much' type books. I'm so glad I read through this short little series today; it was light and sweet and poignant in all the ways I wanted, and it was just super heart-warming and fulfilling to see this romance play out. Shimizu and Maekawa are perfect for one another, and I liked the type of slice-of-life conflicts we see them through. The art style is reminiscent of a lot of other manga, sure, but that didn't make it any less pretty. I thought it was also really interesting to get a look at what it's liking writing and drawing and being edited and getting published as a mangaka. The whole process was enlightening. And again, I adored the plot thread of both women becoming more comfortable and demonstrative in their sexuality. There are a few panels that had me clutching my chest! Their HEA was so wonderful!

Just... super sweet, really wholesome. I'm smiling my head off. Very tempted to trash my reading plans for the week and go look up some more yuri manga.
