Plica

Plica-chan · Purika-chan

Genres: Comedy Slice of Life Yuri
Authors: Amamiya Sae

Plica-chan is the bittersweet, realistic story of Plica, a young lesbian looking for love in modern Japan. Emphasis on the bitter, rather than the sweet - not because Plica doesn't find love, don't get me wrong! Bitter 'cause she's just a bitter kind of gal.

The whole strip starts on a low note, as Plica gets drunk senseless at her long-time crush's wedding. But not too long into it, she meets Mari, for whom she starts to have feelings pretty soon. But, like most butches, Plica is too unsure to try anything. Thank goodness femme Mari is, like so many femmes, perfectly willing to go after what she wants. She and Plica have been together since. As I said, it's a bittersweet comic - rather more real than fanciful, so don't expect roses and lillies. :-)

The art takes some getting used to if you're used to the more traditional manga style but it's good to take a break from the usual now and then. :-)
