Still Sick
Age: 📚 13+ | 3 Volumes (Complete) | Paperback & eBook | Creator: Akashi
Still Sick is a charming, heartfelt Girls Love workplace romance from creator Akashi about secret passions, unexpected connections, and the courage it takes to be truly known. Published under TOKYOPOP's LoveLove imprint, this 13+ series is a celebration of creative women finding love in ordinary places.
Makoto Shimizu is perfectly ordinary at work. She blends in. She keeps her head down. She's the kind of office worker nobody thinks twice about.
But Makoto has a secret.
In her spare time, she creates and sells girls' love doujinshi—self-published yuri manga that lets her express feelings she can't show in her daily life. It's her passion, her outlet, her private world.
Then her coworker Akane Maekawa discovers everything.
Instead of judgment, Makoto finds fascination. Akane is intrigued by Makoto's hidden talent, and as the two women begin spending time together, something shifts. Their conversations grow longer. Their coffee breaks become less about work and more about each other. And Makoto starts to wonder if Akane might be hiding something too—something that could change everything between them.
Still Sick is a gentle, grounded romance about two adult women navigating work, creativity, and the terrifying thrill of letting someone see the real you.
Still Sick is proof that the most powerful love stories are sometimes the quietest ones.
Perfect for readers who love: Girls Love/yuri, workplace romance, adult protagonists, doujinshi/creative culture, slow-burn emotional development, stories about coming out and self-expression.
