2017 Awesomely Asian YA Books

As all book lovers who thrive on social media or anywhere on the internet, there’s always new books to look forward to, whether they’re a few weeks away, or even a year. While there are dozens of exciting new books to look forward to in the coming year of 2017, I wanted to feature the following books that should be on your radar when it comes to Asian YA. 

Note: This list chooses to focus on books that both feature Asian MCs and Asian authors, whether they’re #ownvoices or not, although the majority of the books listed here are #ownvoices. Those that are not #ownvoices or I am unsure about have been indicated with an asterisk. I tried to make it as comprehensive as possible, and if any titles are missing that fit the above qualifications or I made any errors, please let me know as soon as possible!

Sasosaku Collection 1 

Explaination for second pic:

AU where Sasori is in Sakura’s generation and doesn’t leave Suna. He meets Sakura on a mission, and they eventually get together. Then they both discover that they enjoy shibari (Japanese rope bondage)

Kind of a Nana to Kaoru AU hahahaha it’s a great manga I totally recommend!

Ref used for last pic 

Collection 2

名表 Part I

“Remains/ Traces/ Memory” A mini Sasosaku doujinshi about Sakura’s recollections of her battle with Sasori, since Kishi obviously left that out. Kind of sad, but that;s ok :)

Part II

Sasori was the shit who got her sick and figures it's the least he can do, plus he's medical ninja too!! Also sakura would have killed him if he got her sick and didn't at least get her soup and medicine. He's a (not so) secret softie.

I tried making it fluffy, but these two make it impossible.

Does Sasori get defensive when other guys get near you Sakura?

He does and he’s very very obvious

and poor naruto is scared to death of this guy so it’s not like he’ll do anything anyway

Happy Birthday to my Dear Sakura:D Best wishes. May the joy and happiness around you always.
