Pride in Print AFTER HOURS

Japanese comics (manga) have always been less...restrictive...than American comics....

...as this PG-13 example of the Shoujo-ai/Yuri (women's romance) genre proves!

Note: manga reads right-to-left, not left-to-right, as Western comics do!

And that's how they "met cute"...

Note that this excerpt is a scanalation from the original Japanese magazine publication.

The official American reprint from Viz removes the Japanese "sfx" as shown on this version of Page 3...

...and has slightly-different translations.

The series differs from the usual shoujo-ai/yuri strip (which feature high-school/college teen-agers) since the lead characters are adults.

Emi is in her mid-20s and Kei is early to mid 30s.
It's engrossing and entertaining, going into how the duo combine business (music DJ-ing) and romance after moving in together and it's tastefully-done.

Pride in Print BINGO LOVE "1963"

True Love lasts a lifetime...

...and transcends all barriers, including religion, race, and gender!

Image's Bingo Love is a superb example...and it's PG-13!

As in most cases, the course of True Love doesn't run smoothly, and the couple are forced to break up...

...but are reunited a half-century later, and remain together until, as they say, " 'til death do you part"!
Since the book, written by Tee Franklin and illustrated by Jenn St-Onge, is still in print, I'm only running excerpts.
But you can order it from Amazon (hint, hint) since the book's being banned from school and public libraries...
