Best sex comics: 20 great NSFW comic books, manga, and graphic novels, from ‘Oglaf’ to ‘Beastars’

Alright, hold on, hold on. Don’t go. Bear with us. Yes, Beastars is an erotic furry manga, but consider this: while many academia stories follow large-breasted-yet-virginal characters, Beastars allows its female lead character a nuanced relationship with her own sexual desires. Haru is attracted to a shy boy at school even though she’s enmeshed in a casual relationship with a more outgoing guy, and the narrative doesn’t “punish” her for it. The thing is, she just happens to be a rabbit. The shy boy is a wolf, and the confident boy is a deer. In one scene, the wolf dresses in drag to confront his rival, the deer, in a bar. And the scene is done with a surprising amount of gravity. Trust me, it works.

If you’re interested in sexy comics and you’re at all open-minded, Beastars makes a great introduction to the world of furries. But don’t worry, we won’t include any more furry examples on this list.

Anneli Furmark’s sensitive graphic novel is for readers who get their kicks yearning and pining. Like every Sally Rooney novel, Walk Me to the Corner is a particular brand of erotic story aimed at a very particular audience. Married, middle-aged protagonist Elise finds herself in a flirtatious emotional affair with another married woman that destabilizes her ordinary life. When Elise and her husband decide to open things up, everything gets even more complicated.

You thought we were done with the furry business, didn’t you? Well, too bad. Alex Graham published her searingly funny and surprisingly emotional comic

Any fan of erotic comics worth their salt has probably read Sunstone, but if by some slim chance you haven’t, well… Croatian author Stjepan Šejić calls his comic a “mature story for immature people,” and it celebrates both romantic nudity and dirty jokes in equal measure. Originally fetish illustrations published on DeviantArt, Sunstone comes together almost like a 2000s rom-com, if those scripts had been allowed to feature dildos, leather, and whips.

Hopefully, you’ve found a comic on our list of erotic graphic tales that scratches your unique itch. If there’s one thing to be learned from the world of sexy comic books, webtoons, and manga, it’s that there exists in the literary world a corner for nearly every sort of pervert. Yes, even furries.
