Octave
Octave is yet another absolute Yuri manga classic. And what distinguishes this manga from others is its rawness and maturity. Octave is not a happy-go-lucky story. It's difficult and, as a result, relatable. Yukino Miyashita, a former teen idol, is eighteen years old. She grew up with stars in her eyes and, at the age of fifteen, joined an idol group that had little success. She feels like a failure now, despite the fact that she is only eighteen years old. Yukino meets a former composer named Setsuko Iwai, with whom she falls in love after deciding to return home and reassess her life.
This is a gritty manga about a man who realizes that life is worth living, no matter what. Life continues and changes shape after failure and disappointment, and that's okay. Yukino is a fantastically realized protagonist, and Setsuko is much more than a love interest. Haru Akiyama creates her characters with care and love. They are authentic, tragic, flawed, aspirational, terrified, hurt, and vulnerable, and you will love them for it.
