The Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean

Each generation, a competition is held to find the next empress of Honoku. The rules are simple. Survive the palace's enchanted seasonal rooms. Conquer Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Marry the prince. All are eligible to compete--all except yokai, supernatural monsters and spirits whom the human emperor is determined to enslave and destroy. Mari has spent a lifetime training to become empress. Winning should be easy. And it would be, if she weren't hiding a dangerous secret. Mari is a yokai with the ability to transform into a terrifying monster. If discovered, her life will be forfeit. As she struggles to keep her true identity hidden, Mari's fate collides with that of Taro, the prince who has no desire to inherit the imperial throne, and Akira, a half-human, half-yokai outcast. Torn between duty and love, loyalty and betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness, the choices of Mari, Taro, and Akira will decide the fate of Honoku in this beautifully written, edge-of-your-seat YA...

Little Stranger by Edie Fake

“Little Stranger” by Edie Fake is a strange and absorbing nsfw comic that captures the feeling of weirdness and discomfort that is/can be part of existing in a body. It is explicit, gruesome, evocative, and a perplexing read.

When I say “nsfw” I mean an entire book of beautiful but amazing comics that are somewhere between erotic and body horror, depending on your kinks. It’s a quick read, but if you like it you’ll probably keep going back to different sections to re-examine the different narratives happening through the book. It depicts themes of dysphoria and dysmorphia without being a book about feeling bad. It seems to be more about how to feel good after feeling bad. It’ll be either totally your thing or you’ll know ten pages in that it’s not for you.
