A couple of graphic novel recs (copied from goodreads)

My Brother's Husband by Gengoroh Tagame
Funny and poignant with detailed, goregous art. Focused on relationships, day-to-day life; with reflections on homophobia in Japanese culture. Loved this and read it in one evening.

Star Scouts by Mike Lawrence
Adorable, funny, and imaginative story with a satisfying ending. Fairly light-hearted tale of how Avani makes alien friends in Star Scouts, goes to camp, has a rivalry with another scout, and succeeds at her goals. I really enjoyed the art. Avani is South Asian.

Both of these are appropriate for all ages.

J got My Brother's Husband out of the library a couple of weeks ago - I loved it too.

I keep thinking about how interesting the art is. The portraits of the men bathing, for example, are lovely and quiet.

It was also interesting because so many of the drawings struck me as so erotic even though it was not erotica.

Yes! The book invited us to delight in gazing at these men's bodies in these quiet, vulnerable moments.

Yes! That's such a good way of putting it!
