欠けた月とドーナッツ [Kaketa Tsuki to Donuts]

A gentle, introspective yuri series from Ichijinsha, 欠けた月とドーナッツ (2020–2022) follows the quiet, evolving relationship between two women navigating loneliness and connection in modern Japan. Over its four-issue run, the story explores themes of self-acceptance and the small, comforting rituals that can bridge emotional distances. Associated with creator Shiori Hanatsuka, this compact tale is cherished for its tender, slice-of-life portrayal of queer romance without melodrama. It matters as a nuanced, low-key entry in the yuri genre that prioritizes emotional authenticity over plot-driven conflict.
