These manga are set in a bookstore- although the characters may not stay there! From manga recommending booksellers to bookshop romances, from mystery solving bibliophiles to mysterious bookshops, there's something here for everyone.

Please do not hesitate to drop me a line if I've forgotten a bookshop. Libraries and librarians are in a separate list.

A very common (but something I still very much enjoy) trope in Yuri involving the main characters each individually having blonde or black hair. I’m not exactly looking for other archetypes or traits aside from that for now, but there is a nuance in recognizing that this particular trope does also contain similar/variations of “down to earth black-haired character with a contrasting blonde beauty” themes.

I’ll also try to NOT add a series that I already used in my other lists (a lot of them also fit the requirements, but I feel like it would be too redundant adding them in unless my discretion says otherwise) since I won’t have enough space to showcase a series that have not appeared in any of my other lists.

Like an LN, it is in the title. These are some lesser known manga I recommend giving a chance. All yuri. About 5 thousand members or less as of early 2023.
