Splendid that this group exists bcus I love yapping so Im gonna start w one of my favourite things rn - The Case files of jeweler Richard! It's a light novel series but one I haven't actually finished yet, I've only read the first 4 books of 15 TOT so maybe I'm being preemptive with this but so far I have absolutely loved it!! It's a slice of life series following Seigi and the eponymous Richard, a jeweler. Mainly it's about their clients (who come to them wanting to buy jewelry) and their problems, which the pair help solve (ie case files, so in a way its sort of a detective series, albeit a detective series with far less crime than usual). There's obviously the gemstones, which have long been an interest of mine and its just fun to read about them in this context. It's got some lovely explorations of themes like identity, family and what that means, love, loyalty, and queer identity. Along the way as well, you get to see Richard and Seigi's dynamic develop into what so far is so queerplatonic in a way that I love and very rarely see in media. It also has a canon aroace character, Tanimoto Shoko, who I absolutely love! TLDR its peak cus gemstones and explorations of stuff i rarely see elsewhere!
