After over twenty years together, George is about to lose his life partner. He met James when they were teenagers then lost track of him until they reconnected in their early sixties. Now, James is going somewhere beyond George's reach--because George is a vampire, forever trapped in the body of a nineteen-year-old. As the two grow closer, George begins to see a future beyond losing his first love, and Howard stops imagining himself always being alone...even if companionship comes at the cost of his mortality. When the discrimination the men have suffered their whole lives rears its ugly head to take away their happy ending, they finally strike back at the world that's done its best to subdue them their entire lives.--Provided by publisher.

Senpai Is an Otokonoko: My Crossdressing Classmate 1
by POM

The beloved webtoon finally comes to print in a beautiful new full-color edition! A cheerful high school girl, Saki, confesses her love to a pretty upperclassman only to find out her senpai's actually a cross-dressing boy (otokonoko). But Saki has competition for the heart of her daring classmate in the form of Hanaoka's devoted best friend... The romcom manga about vibrant, messy, adolescent love makes the move from digital hit to collectible paperback! First-year high school student Saki is head-over-heels for the older Makoto. After all, this senpai is tall, beautiful, and oh-so-cool... Who wouldn't fall for a girl like her? The bright and bubbly Saki doesn't hesitate to confess her feelings. But Makoto turns her down, because Makoto isn't a girl, but rather a cross-dressing boy! Second-year Makoto is used to the negatives that come with his love of cross-dressing: harsh gossip from his classmates, the disapproval of his mother... Most of his classmates already know, but still, when he tells Saki, he expects her to be disgusted. Yet Saki's feelings only grow stronger, and she says she doesn't care about Makoto's gender expression. In fact, she's determined to win him over and become his first love! Caught between the straightforward Saki and his overly protective childhood friend Ryuji--who may have feelings for Makoto of his own--Makoto must navigate a complicated love triangle and chart his own course to happiness.
