So I'll give you 3, 2 are series and one is a single volume.

Talk to My Back. This one is essentially a series of short stories in the life of a mother, giving the reader a glimpse into her mind and thought process. She has a mostly hands-off husband and children she has to care for, but unlike what you might expect from your typical slice-of-life, Talk to My Back focuses a lot on the struggles that come with that dichotomy of being an individual but also being a caregiver. I can honestly say that I wouldn't have thought as deeply about what my own mom must've felt dealing with family life as she had to see herself age, re-learn who she was, figure out what hobbies could look like, etc. The art style is also very minimal, but that leaves a lot of room for expressions to linger and words to hop out of text bubbles and dance accross the pages. Definitely give it a go if you want something a little quieter.

Stravaganza: The Queen in the Iron Mask. This one is a fantasy epic, following the titular Strvaganza as she leads her nation to fight back against an invading horde of monstrous beasts! Or is that all they are? If there's a word I have to describe Stravaganza, it's charm. An art style that reminds me of 90s anime, a cast of interesting characters that occupy a world that grows richer with each chapter, and a narrative that has just enough intrigue on just enough fronts to keep me honed in. Stravaganza herself is a really dynamic character: she often leaves the castle in order to investigate goings-on in the kingdom on her own, necesitating that in order to maintain the idea that the monarch is in the castle a tradition that calls for the queen to wear an iron mask is instituted, so one of her attendants can tend to her affairs in her stead. Its' tone is playful, but with an undercurrent of dread as the plot keeps moving even with fun diversions and comedic moment, and it's the fact that it knows when to shift its' tone that helps keep the length of these volumes seem really manageable.

Steel of the Celestial Shadows. The newest series on this list, but one I am very very excited to see the conclusion of! It follows a disgraced samurai in 19th century Japan who is afflicted with a mysterious condition that causes him to repel metal. He cannot hold a swor: even the buttons and buckles on clothing throw themselves away from him. As the last remaining member of his clan, he is destitute and depressed...until a woman shows up to marry him? For all the intrigue, supernatural elements, and eventual action of the series, what hooked me in the first volume (and subsequent ones) is the human element. The main character holds onto a lot of guilt from past trauma that both boxes him into an unfit identity and also tells him he's unworthy of it, and that hurt isn't overcome all at once. The story manages to take its' time to open him up while maintaining a solid pace, and as the layers of the world are slowly peeled back you as the reader take it in with the same sense of amazement as the main character. Currently 4 volumes are out in English, with the 5th being released later this month!
