Butterfly Soup
Four queer Asian-American girls join their school baseball team, trade terrible jokes, and slowly figure out their feelings for each other.
Who it's for: Anyone wanting a short, funny and heartfelt queer romance about a group of high-school friends.
The story (spoiler-free)
A group of Asian-American high-school girls end up on the same baseball team. Between practices and goofing around, old childhood connections resurface and new crushes take shape.
The story moves between several of the girls' perspectives, and it is very funny, full of meme-literate banter, while handling family pressure and identity with real care.
It is a short, linear read with only cosmetic choices, made in Ren'Py and free to download.
