From Lilith to Amity: LGBTQ librarians Shine Through
October 11 was National Coming Out Day, a day to celebrate the act of "coming out," i.e. when an LGBTQ person publicly shares their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. In honor of that, I'd like to highlight some LGBTQ librarians I've written about on this blog, this year and years previously, and others on the List of fictional librarians that I put together in late 2021.
This post is reprinted from Pop Culture Library Review and Wayback Machine.
Lilith in Yamibou
She is the caretaker of the Great Library (after Adam), and travels through much of the series with a girl she has a crush on, Hazuki, going through book worlds, looking for Eve. The latter is later shown as another caretaker of the library, who loves Hazuki. Part of her duty is to make sure worlds within the books are secure, an interesting job as a librarian. Due to the fact she is one of the protagonists of this series, who has considerable knowledge and wisdom, it means that libraries are still a key part of the series.
Anne and Grea in Manaria Friends
Anne is one of the protagonists who is a soft-spoken girl, Princess, and honor student at Mysteria Academy, a prestigious magic school. Anne even ventured through the "forbidden" archives of the library in order to find something which would cure Grea of a fever. She and Grea appear to enter a relationship later on. Both work in the library as assistants, although not as full-fledged librarians.
Sophie Twilight in Ms. Vampire who lives in my neighborhood
One of the protagonists of this anime, she drinks blood, but only when refrigerated, and she is shown weeding through her books in one episode. She has a refined appearance and liked going to comic book conventions. She brings in a high school girl, Akari, to live in her house, and appears to have feelings for her. Another vampire girl, Ellie, clearly is romantically attracted to her as well.
Fumi Manjōme in Aoi Hana / Sweet Blue Flowers
In one episode, she weeds books and remembers her kiss with Sugimoto. Later in the episode, she later talks with other students about the role and influence the Literary Club has on the library. In another episode, Fumi and Sugimoto go to the library and kiss there. Ultimately, Fumi at least knows some library skills, in terms of weeding, which is an important part of library work.
Chiyo Tsukudate in Strawberry Panic!
She works at the school library at Astrea Hill, known as Maiden's Garden, and is a member of the literary club. She looks up to her fellow students and undoubtedly has a crush on Nagisa, one of the show's protagonists. She checks out books and does other library duties well and efficiently. The library is a key location in the series.
Azusa Aoi in Whispered Words
In the episode "Did You See the Rain?," she serves as the librarian in this episode, while the Girls Club members go on a treasure hunt to find a message, coming in and out of the library throughout the episode. Later, Azuza joins them in their quest. Azusa is a studious person who reads during breaks and takes an interest in learning, perfect for a librarian. She is a fan of yuri and loves Masaka Orino, unaware it is Ushio's older brother.
Fumio Murakumi in Girl Friend Beta
Fumio and Erena
Although she was originally introverted and lonely, she got more friends after meeting Erena. She works at the school library. Erena appears to be the closest one to her and both may be in a relationship with one another, although its implied.
George and Lance in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
They call themselves historians, but run a family library/archives/museum. in a magical forest known as the Whispering Woods They are Bow's dads. They are two middle-aged men and help the show's protagonists translate an ancient message in the Season 2 finale. In a later episode, Bow and Glimmer meet George and Lance who tell them about an ancient rebellion and fail-safe on a superweapon. This information becomes vitally important going forward.
Desiree in Too Loud
Desiree with her sister, Sara, and Sara's friends at a slumber party
She is a trans woman. In an episode which was supposed to end the show, according to series creator Nico Colaleo, she begins to explore her trans identity, as she had been a closeted in her usual workday. This episode, "Slumber Party Sneak-In" was praised by reviewers. Desiree works every day with her sister Sara and co-worker Sarah at the local public library, but has a voice which is so loud, hence the name of the series, smashing library stereotypes along the way.
Amity Blight in The Owl House
Luz and Amity blush at one another in the episode "Through the Looking Glass Ruins"
She is a librarian who works at the Bonesborough Public Library, is a witch, and a student at Hexside Academy. Over the course of the story, her relationship with a human witch named Luz Noceda develops and later they begin a romantic relationship.
Sabine in Sabine: an asexual coming-of-age story
Sabine working at the library desk in episode 115.
The protagonist of this webcomic, Sabine works in the local school library as a part-time job, beginning early in the comic. She a fully committed asexual girl who tries to make friends and not have any romantic relationships, just like the comic's author. The later also implies that she is, as a result, aromantic as well as asexual. Not all aromantic people are asexual, and vice versa. She is still learning more about herself all of the time, while she majors in history. As the comic's author stated, Sabine is unaware of her asexuality, and isn't sure she is aromantic, just that she isn't ready for sex.
Mo Testa in Dykes to Watch Out For
Mo and Sydney
As the protagonist of this comic, and later comic book, she is a graduate of library school who worked at a feminist bookstore named Madwimmin Books, and appreciated "literary connectivity." She is a committed lesbian feminist who later gets a job as a reference librarian. She has a lover in college named Clarice, but her eventual partner is a woman named Sydney. The comic's creator, Alison Bechdel, recognized she was a lesbian after checking out books from the library, stating that an apparent "a key characteristic of queer people [is]...shamed persons who are drawn to lonely stacks and secret research," and she worked at the circulation desk as a librarian while she was a college student, influencing the comic itself. She also stated that Mo had been drawn into “the pitfall of vocational awe, believing that her public library job is a religious calling."
Concluding words
It is undetermined if Azusa Aoi in Whispered Words is LGBTQ. You could also argue that Kaisa in Hilda, a feisty character with unmatched knowledge of mystical items and cemetery records, who is a mysterious witch, is asexual based on her color scheme. There will likely be other LGBTQ librarians in the future, since many anime series have characters who go into libraries. [1]

Yuri Manga 'The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This' Debuts in English Tuesday
The first volume of Takashi Ikeda's Yuri slice of life manga The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This (Futari wa Daitai Konna Kanji) will be released in English on Tuesday, June 7 digitally and in paperback. The manga is published by Seven Seas Entertainment.
The publisher describes the manga:
Thirty-two-year-old scriptwriter Sakuma Ellie and twenty-two-year-old rookie voice actress Inuzuka Wako are roommates with a strictly professional relationship. Or at least, that’s what they tell everyone. In fact, they’ve been living as a couple in Ellie’s apartment for the past year, spending delightful, tranquil days together.
The manga is a shakaijin Yuri series following the daily lives of adult women in love. Shakaijin Yuri follows the daily life of adult women living in modern society (not fantasy or historical fiction). The subgenre has seen a surge of new releases in recent years, which is in contrast to the predominance of schoolgirl romances in the Yuri genre.
Takashi Ikeda is a manga author best known for his Yuri series Whispered Words (Sasameki Koto). He has also contributed to the Syrup Yuri anthology.
The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This was serialized digitally on Comic Boost until its conclusion in February 2022. Four volumes are published in Japanese by Gentosha. The manga is translated into English by Anh Kiet Ngo with lettering by Rina Mapa.
Pre-order volume 1 of The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This ahead of its English release this Tuesday: https://amzn.to/3x90OYX
Reading official releases supports creators and publishers. YuriMother makes a small commission from sales to help fund future coverage.

Anime of the day Pride Month: Sasameki Koto
Released: 2009
Also called Whispered Words, this anime is adorable. This is 13 episodes running about 24 minutes. This is yuri/shoujo ai. The story is about two girls. One who likes girls but has always been rejected. And the second only has eyes for the first, but the first is oblivious to that.
Overall this anime is a perfect introduction to the yuri/shoujo ai genre. The story is nicely paced, the humor well developed, and the characters show actual growth. Everything is positive with this anime, and now I want to watch it again.
