More GL manga recs:

Summary: Aya is a high school student who is captivated by the mysterious "Onii-san" who works at a CD store. The real "Onii-san" is actually Mitsuki, a girl in her class with whom she had never spoken to before.

Review: This is a very cute read!!! The story doesn't drag out any drama. When I first started reading this, I was afraid it'd drag the secret of Mitsuki being the "Onii-san" but it doesn't. It's very well paced while also being a slow burn. They're both very well written.

Status: Ongoing

Summary: Bubbly, energetic first-year high school student Himari falls head over heels for her senpai Yori after hearing her band perform on the first day of school. Himari tells Yori she just loves her, and to Himari's surprise, Yori says she loves Himari back! But when Himari realizes that she and her senpai are feeling two different kinds of love, she begins to ask herself what "love" really means...

Summary: They're both so adorable!!! I love their relationship sm. There's a lot of other wlw relationships in this manga so that's a plus point. There's also some angst here and there. It also has an anime adaptation coming out next year!

Status: Ongoing

Summary: England, the early 1900s. Alice, a young noblewoman, has a Japanese maid named Hanako working in her household. The two have a fairly typical relationship…until the day Alice begs Hanako to kill her. As Hanako tries to figure out why her mistress would make such a terrible request, she and Alice grow closer until an entirely new feeling begins to blossom between them.

Review: The summary doesn't really do justice to the manga's plot but I don't want to say much because I'll mistakenly give out spoilers so I'll just say it's angsty so prepare yourself for that. Both of the characters and the relationship between them are very well written.

Okay this isn't a manga, it's a manhua(chinese comic). I haven't read enough GL manhua to make a list about it so I'm putting it here. This manhua is called Tamen de Gushi. I think the English translation of the story name is called "Their Story"/ "SQ begin w/your name"

Summary: The funny romantic story of how Qiu Tong and Sun Jing met and fell in love.

Review: It was one of my first GLs so it has a very special place in my heart. I laughed a lot while reading this. It's mostly on the comedy side. Qiu Tong and Sun Jing's relationship is so so adorable. The side characters in this story are also lovable. The characters in this feel very relatable. Unfortunately due to censorship in China the author had been told to remove the confession scene of the main characters in the physical copies and the author rejected to do that. Because of this, the manhua doesn't have proper chapters anymore but the author still does post little snippets of their life together on weibo and twitter. However there's still 200+ chapters of wholesomeness so please do give it a read!

I've only checked a few of these out so far, so I can't make any claims to the quality of all their stories, but just seeing the greater variety of styles, especially the increase in adult couples, in these yuri manga covers compared to 10 years ago, heck even 5 years ago, makes me so happy for how far the genre has come and excited for progress in the future. I'm always on the hunt for more authentic yuri manga, so please let me know if there are any I should read, or which of these I should be checking out first!

a monster wants to eat me is THE perfect gl manga for anyone interested in supernatural/tragic girls love

its similar to the summer hikaru died, and both of those are good manga to read if you enjoy toilet bound hanako kun or even more popular titles like bungo stray dogs and/or mob psycho 100

Just started reading Senpai, Does It Taste Good? Which, of course, is about lesbians and cooking.

Miho and Mori are two girls that each have eating issues and discover comfort in each other. Miho loves cooking but is very insecure about eating in front of others. Mori can't cook but enjoys learning from Miho. I can't say more about her issues because spoilers. So far, it is super cute and both are canon sapphics.

CW: the manga does have panels showing eating apps that count calories!

hi!! i got to come to part of your yuri panel (loved it by the way) and i was curious if you had any manga recommendations for someone completely new to the genre? can be any genre just preferably sfw ^>^ !! tysm!! loved the panel btw!!!

Lol this is awesome thanks for going to the panel. Allow me to consult the archive...mh....hmm...mhh....yeah okay I got it.

"Futari escape" I about a manga artist escaping from her responsibilities with her professional deadbeat roommate it fun and wholesome. Not a lot of romance though just good times but they are totally together.

"She loves to cook she loves to eat" a great one that tackles the difficulties of finding put you're gay while also having some great drawings of food.

"Yuri espori" a great mix of anthology and one long story. You get the best of both worlds with this and the main character is obsessed. It's about a girls who draw real people in public and make up yuri about them

"Failed princesses" mhhh nerd girl x gyaru girl my fave. Really good and one of the first yuri I saw get it's first volume and bought the final volume. Very similar to "girlfriends" by milk morinaga if you liked that story you would like this or vice versa.

And last but not least "Hello, melancholic" it's about a group of girls making music together. This time the yuri is real between the drummer and the trombone player. Also includes one of the trans characters of all time. It's "not canon" but all signs point to her being trans.

All of these have physical English releases and are safe for work

New manga rec : Erio and The Electric Doll

About a cute little butch named Erio and Ange an android travelling in a post apocalyptic world after the war with the machines led humanity to abandon any tech that ai could invade. Really cute and really gay, and it seems to have the potential to grow into something great with interesting worldbuilding and gorgeous art.

On the site I'm reading there's only 10 chapters so far but I'm already in love.

GL manga recs:

Summary: Maki's first love was her high school classmate, a girl named Midori. But Midori broke up with Maki at graduation, saying they were now "too old to be fooling around dating girls." Ten years later, Maki still can’t get Midori off her mind, and when the two women reconnect after a chance encounter, Maki realizes that, while her feelings haven’t changed, Midori has long moved on—in fact, she's engaged. Yet the more Maki hears Midori talk about her soon-to-be-husband, the more red flags she notices. And Midori has another secret, one she hasn’t yet shared with Maki. Will it be the last blow to Maki's hopes that their romance might be rekindled? Or will it be the push that sets them on a new path—one they'll travel together?

Review:

There's so much depth to this. At a glance it looks like a simple story. You read the summary and think oh well it's the same old plot of getting back with your ex but it's not. It deals with heavy topics like abusive relationships, comphet and the fear of being alone. It's very realistic in its portrayal. Both of the women are very well written especially Midori.

Summary: Cooking is how Nomoto de-stresses, but one day, she makes way more than she can eat by herself. And so she invites her neighbor Kasuga, who also lives alone. What will come out of this dinner invitation?

Review: This manga is such an excellent read. There's so much that I love about this manga. I don't wanna spoil it so I'm gonna let you find out on your own. It points out the troubles women face due to the stereotypical portrayal of them in society. There's a good amount of discussion on lgbt especially on Nomoto's end. I won't say much about Kasuga because I don't wanna mistakenly spoil her past. There are also new characters in vol 3 who are as well written as the main characters. The women in this story are very well written! I really recommend this one! Also trigger warnings are given before anything heavy or disturbing is mentioned in this manga.

Summary: Dani's promising future as an elite athlete is cut short when, during the middle of the television broadcast competition, her heart collapses. This ordeal will not only affect her health, but also destroy her relationship with her mother and skip her tennis career. In order to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and all its problems, she decides to go with her cousin to the small coastal town Levant and it is there where she will meet Blanca, a girl full of life and love for astronomy who will remind her that life can be beautiful and that Dani can shine again as the stars do.

Review: This is very short but still a good read. Even though I wished it were longer, it still managed to carry out the development between the two main characters. The only issue I had with this is, since the manga is very short, it fails to properly carry out the development between Dani and her mom.

You should give SHWD (special hazardous waste department) a try! It's all buff adult women. I've only read the first volume but it was personally SO delightful to see just buff women fighting monsters and having gay things going on. There's like one weird character design thing I really didn't love but most of the designs are good and it's not high schoolers!

YES YES YES YES HOLY SHIT YES

i looked up the first chapter on illegal manga scans website AND I AM ORDERING THIS STAT this is exactly what i want more of

[lexbien]

Title: Ohana Holoholo by Shino Torino (オハナホロホロ) Synopsis: "Maya, who works as a translator, lives with her bisexual former girlfriend, Michiru, and Michiru's son, Yuuta. Residing in the same apartment building is an actor called Nico, who drops by for a visit almost every day, and knows about Michiru's past. Somewhat like family, and somewhat not, their lives interweave full of warm days."

Schoolgirl yuri is nice but I noticed that there is a tragic lack of adult women yuri. Fortunately, I found this manga (I don't remember how). It's a severely underrated yuri manga about two ex-girlfriends living and raising a child together. I swear on my life it's worth the read!

Do you have any recommendations for yuri that has more masc characters in them? I've watched rgu and have been reading through riyoko ikedas stuff... but I've been struggling to find much else. Anyways I love your blog💞💞💞

Hmm let me look at the archive...mhh...yep...uh huh... alright I've got it.

"SHWD" is a dark sci-fi yuri is muscle girls. Monsters, yuri, muscular women oh yeah it's only 1 volume rn but another is going to release this year

"She loves to cook she loves to eat" has a tall lady who dresses very androgynous and it's just a good yuri in general you should check it out

"Our teachers are dating" is good and very fluffy unfortunately there just isn't a lot of butch type characters in yuri but this one has that more short hair tomboyish style. I wish there were more like hard butches though

But yeah number 1 pick for butch main character is SHWD
