Moonwalker, Earthbound

"Like Pacific Rim, but with sad Asian lesbians."

Six years ago, mech pilot superstar Rachel Kanagawa sacrificed herself and her mech - Tokyo Calling - to save the Free Republic of Hong Kong from the deadly sea-borne Megafauna. Now, her little sister Emma has come out of retirement to reluctantly sync with the remnants of Tokyo and try to pick up where her sister left off. Hong Kong wants her to be a savior; she just wants to find out what really happened to Rachel. The only person left alive who might know the answer is Rachel's old combat partner, Carol Chang, prodigy and heroine of the Rift.

Complicating things: Carol is mysterious, standoffish, and annoyingly attractive. Emma is antisocial, bad at asking questions, and desperately gay. Also, every other pilot in Hong Kong's Unit 49 - especially the ones who knew Rachel personally - seems to hold a grudge against Emma, a pilot school dropout who's only here because, as Rachel's sister, she's mentally compatible with Tokyo Calling.

Worse? The Megs Rachel sacrificed herself to kill aren't just still here: they're multiplying.

So much for smooth sailing. Megs won't be the only monsters Emma faces as she struggles to survive long enough to find the answers she seeks. Updates Tuesdays.

TL;DR mostly butch, diverse lesbian cast pilot giant mechs against kaijus in climate change-challenged Hong Kong. Expect some slow-burn romance, occasional spice, and lots of angst. Much yuri, such sapphic.
