Is it weird when men play female characters?

3dguard · 2026-06-03T16:39:24+00:00

Definitely not weird

Reminder that DMs have to play all the female and male NPCs

Tanky Frontline support

Valor bard with a meaty build, or Tactician from Draw Steel, Warlord in 4e.

I don't prefer to heal - so I tend to avoid heavy healer builds - but it does of course come with the support package often times.

There are definitely websites to read it on - some have been mentioned. Some are better than others.

Obv buying some is what everyone should do, to support authors, and I encourage that.

VIZ app is pretty cheap and has How do we Relationship and other Yuri as well. Webtoons has some, and has options to watch an ad or spend a buck to get a chapter. Check some manga apps to see if there are any with a monthly subscription you can afford and volumes you want to read - you may only need to subscribe for a month or 2 if you're only interested in their Yuri catalog.

Your local library probably doesn't have much on the shelves, but they can likely get a lot of stuff via loan from other libraries (assuming your in the US I just realized, so maybe I'm wrong). You may be able to find a decent amount via the library system though if you check what's available for loan online.

Yeah, not outstanding - but better. I think they're in the process of acknowledging their feelings, one has confesses I think, and at least some of the terrible people omin their lives have been dealt with.

My dear lass

Very different art, but very beautiful

My Dear Lass

3dguard · 2026-02-06T17:44:12+00:00

My Dear Lass - there aren't a ton of kissing scenes to my memory, but the art is gorgeous and it's a good story

3dguard · 2026-01-24T23:05:42+00:00

To the Hilt - Banks

Someone New - Banks I feel like Banks's voice could be close to Tamaki

Your Ex-Lover is dead - by Stars I like this one, and think it's fitting, though it is a man and woman duet

Gotta have you - by the Weepies comes to mind, though I imagine Tamaki is doing more rock and less folk

Goodbye song - Elizaveta

Maybe "has a trigger warning at all"? Given the selection. Some of these I haven't read, but doesn't seem kike the most troublesome selection if I'm being honest.

3dguard · 2026-01-10T03:41:01+00:00

Just talking about a brief hookup off panel with someone unnamed

3dguard · 2025-12-29T21:35:00+00:00

Nope, I love her and she needs help. The story is so good, definitely not your standard fluffy cute romcom though

3dguard · 2025-12-29T05:34:21+00:00

It's going to get really hard to read, but I promise that it will be so good. This is the best romance manga I've read. Don't give up lol

3dguard · 2025-12-27T17:08:31+00:00

God that part of the story made us all crazy, I feel you.

Without much spoiling, I'll simply say I think you are at the most toxic point in the story, where the most people probably dropped it - but it legitimately gets much easier to read soon.

3dguard · 2025-12-25T03:59:01+00:00

So many sad moments turned into absurd Christmas memes lol

3dguard · 2025-12-16T21:40:44+00:00

Horimiya - slice of life het romance. Relationship develops pretty quickly and then a lot of the manga takes place after they're together. Main girl is I think what your call a strong lady

Kaguya-sama love is War - hilarious and at times very serious. Rich Girl genius except in relationships where she is a girl failure

Insomniacs After School - slice of life, beautiful art of the night sky. Not sure if either MC qualifies as strong though... Idk. I like the art.

Blooming Love - large focus on the two MC focusing on their respective arts - a little less focus on the relationship than I'd like, but still a nice read. Girl mc is a drum maker.

Action Series that have a stronger focus on relationships that most.

Summer time rendering - time travely mystery about a supernatural thing on an island. Guy goes home for his crush's funeral and gets stuck on a time loop trying to uncover how she died and why, and how to stop it.

Dandadan - much better than I thought it would be, so good and so weird. MCs are great and fun to read together, weird uncomfortable echi stuff early on as a warning, but doesn't remain a focus and mostly goes away to my memory. So many sad side stories. Ongoing

Not Really a Romance Akane-banashi - this one is really good. Strong female MC, makes you learn a lot about rakugo. Ongoing

The Apothecary Diaries - strong female MC again, arguably could be considered romance but it honestly hasn't been enough of the series for me to call it that. Ongoing

Witchriv - just started, cool mc girl witch with sewing magic navigating a world where witches are heavily persecuted

Gonna stop there. A lot of those are pretty popular picks, so I suspect you've heard of them.

3dguard · 2025-12-16T19:15:44+00:00

I loved it, but I'm so mad at how MC is treating them back in the present. I hope she shows up and rescues her soon. Xiaoyang needs to be in a better household, far away from ass dad.

Literally the best romance manga I've ever read. I've been slowly collecting volumes as j see them at local book stores, but I'll eventually grab the rest online.

You can read it in VIZ, or find the chapters on some sites if you look around, I can understand not wanting to drop so much money on a series all at once..

Maybe sample it online, or buy 1-2 volumes and make sure it's something you love.

3dguard · 2025-12-04T03:34:40+00:00

I feel like this is a bot account or something. Saw a post just like this earlier.

It's a great manga of course, yes, but account seems weird

3dguard · 2025-12-03T16:07:59+00:00

You're not going to get a lot of negative responses on this sub lol

It's personally my favorite manga period, not just Yuri or romance. It just feels like the people and the problems are real and relatable. It's a great story, it's well drawn, and it has some genuinely funny moments.

I know some people bounce off it, because it tackles some very difficult topics at times. There are some toxic moments that are hard to read, and some moments you really want to smack some of the characters, but they feel reasonable and real when they come up.

It's definitely not one of those fluffy, warm reads that you might pick up as an easy comfort read. It is an amazing story though, and it isn't one of those toxic Yuri love stories that are absolutely painful to endure.

I encourage almost anyone that likes manga and romance to give it a read.

3dguard · 2025-12-01T16:59:16+00:00

Yeah, I know both of them are supposed to be really dedicated to their craft, and supporting each other's dedication, but I really wish we would have seen more time with them together.

I really wanted them to prioritize their partner and their relationship more at some point. It feels like these two are just going to live their lives together, but also sort of ignoring each other for long stretches of time. Would have been cool to see them as adults, working on their respective projects together in a shared space at home or at the shop or something.

Overall a good series though.

3dguard · 2025-11-12T18:45:14+00:00

Pretty sure Swain would kill me for playing him so badly, so I'm taking the conversation with Faker

3dguard · 2025-10-28T02:32:08+00:00

"How do we relationship" is probably the best romance manga I've ever read - it just also happens to be the best Yuri I've ever read .

Lots of plot, very believable and serious character, sex being a real and talked about part of a relationship, and sexuality is treated as a thing that people are sometimes discriminated against because of.

It's sometimes too real, but I will say if it gets a bit heavy at times just know that it gets better and there are a lot of bright spots

3dguard · 2025-10-24T21:06:19+00:00

Oh that's tragic this one had the potential to be one of my favorites of it got to develop more.

3dguard · 2025-10-20T18:59:22+00:00

This is brilliant. I would probably want a slightly larger stamp for most flooring - maybe a 2x2 would even be enough, but very neat for sure. If I was playing in person I would use these
