Silkscreen

Silkscreen

A manga about a bittersweet romance between a lesbian and genderqueer teens.

We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.

I’m a fan of Isaki Uta‘s work and this doujinshi is another beautifully drawn short story. The theme of seeing another through a curtain works really well with these two characters. The flashback to their teenage breakup interspersed with them chatting as adults is especially well done. Highly recommended.

Available in English from Irodori Comics Lite!
