On Tuesday, February 16, Seven Seas Entertainment released Shio Usui’s Yuri manga Doughnuts Under a Crescent in English digitally. A paperback version of the manga will be released on February 23.Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon is a slow burn workplace romance. The narrative focuses on growth and becoming comfortable with oneself. Seven Seas describes the manga: Uno Hinako throws herself into makeup, fashion, and falling in love, hoping that will make her seem “normal” to the other people at her job. But no matter how hard she tries, she’s a self-doubting mess inside, and her attempts at “normal” romance with men just keep failing. When she starts to think she might be alone forever, a new normal presents itself in the form of her relationship with Asahi Sato, a level-headed woman who works at her company. It starts as respect, and then it becomes far more intimate. Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon is currently serialized in Comic Yuri Hime. Ichijinsha publishes two volumes in Japanese. The first volume is translated by Jenny McKeon, with adaptation by Cae Hawksmoor and Lettering by Rina Mapa.The series received positive reviews, with praise directed towards the characters, narrative, and Usui’s art.
