Akashi

Makoto Shimizu is just an ordinary office worker, blending in seamlessly with her colleagues on the job... That is, until her coworker Akane Maekawa discovers her well-hidden secret: in her spare time, she draws and sells girls' love comics!

Akane is the last person Makoto would think of as a nerd, but as the two grow closer, it starts to seem like Akane may have a secret of her own...     manga;comic;yuri;anime;lgbtq;graphic novels;relationship;marriage;woman;couple;makoto shimizu;akane maekawa;maekawa;shimizu;makoto;akane;young women;man-woman relationships;romance;women authors;offices;translations into english;japan;comics and graphic novels;cartoonists;comic books;strips;secrecy;women cartoonists;nerd

After finding out that her coworker Akane used to be a manga creator, Makoto encourages her new friend to recapture that dream. As an amateur comic artist herself, Makoto looks up to Akane and tries to help her overcome the difficulties that made her give up that profession in the past. Although Akane is often her own worst critic, Makoto inspires her to try reshaping her attitude toward her art.

But matters become more complicated when Makoto realizes that, somewhere along the way, what started out as a professional friendship over a common interest has developed into... a serious crush! manga;comic;graphic novel;yuri;girls love;gl;japanese;lesbian;lgbt;yuri manga english;yuri gl manga;yuri manga;yuri anime manga;anime;girl love;girl love manga;girls love manga;japanese gl;gl japanese;manga books;manga anime;manga gl;manga yuri;gl manga;manga girls love;manga ebook;manga english;manga kindle;manga lgbt;manga lgbtq;lgbtq;manga love;manga paperback;manga romance;love x love;love love;tokyopop;still sick;akashi
