The Moon on a Rainy Night by Kuzushiro follows Saki and Kanon - they run into each other on the street and end up being in the same class at school. It is definitely grumpy/sunshine, and Kanon doesn't want to talk to Saki at first but then she warms up to her, and they become friends.
I loved watching their friendship evolve, seeing Saki pine over Kanon, and the whole dynamic between them. There's no romance in this book yet but it should hopefully evolve into one in the upcoming volumes, and I cannot wait to see that!! I loved their personalities and it was such a fun read. Kanon is also hard of hearing, so if you've been looking for more books with disability representation, this is an amazing option.
I highly recommend it if you'd like to read a sapphic manga that's mostly slice-of-life, sweet, fun, and easy to read....more

Ride On by Faith Erin Hicks is a graphic novel following Victoria who has always loved riding horses but she no longer wants to do it profe3.5/5 stars
Ride On by Faith Erin Hicks is a graphic novel following Victoria who has always loved riding horses but she no longer wants to do it professionally and wants to focus on other things in her life as well. This results in a friendship breakup with her best friend who doesn't like the fact that Victoria doesn't want to take it as seriously anymore. So Victoria moves to a new stable where she meets a new group of people. Even though she wants a fresh start, it's hard for her to connect with them because she's scared of being hurt again and wants to focus only on the horses.
It's a story about love for horses, sci-fi TV shows, and opening your heart to new friendships. The characters are well-developed and imperfect, and I really liked the friend group dynamics. The start of the book was a little rough for me to read because there's a lot of conflict and the characters are really mean to each other, and I can't handle conflict well so I wasn't enjoying it much. However, it was realistic and made sense for the story, and all of them grew on me as the story went on. I also haven't read any books surrounding around horses, and I love the setting.
If you're someone who likes graphic novels, horses, being nerdy about movies, and stories about friendships, I think you would definitely enjoy this! It's a really fun story and it's quick to read. The art style isn't really my preference and I don't love the color schemes, but it's unique and fitting to the setting. ...more
