There are some things I really ought to be doing that I don't feel like doing, so instead, why don't we have another crack at this topic?
A lot has changed since the first installment (by palakangorange), which can be found here. The last thread was derailed by discussion of copyright and licensing that went far beyond the scope of the topic. If you want to talk about copyrights or licensing, please consider making your own topic before talking about it here.

Rather than start off with just a few suggestions, I've compiled a list of - hopefully - everything from the last thread, and added a few more. Please feel free to add more for us to check out! However keep in mind that web-comics would be better posted here.

Scanlated works that we are not allowed to host:

Blue Friend - Shoujo yuri!

Nobara no Mori no Otometachi - Onee-sama type yuri

Various Yurikai oneshots and doujinshi

Moyashi Otoko to Tane Shoujo F-F-M love triangle with no explicit conclusion, mentioned here because it's framed as yuri.

The Secret Garden - (Please say something about this if you've read it..!)

Currently being scanlated:

Secretary Fleet Girl Nagatsuki-chan (Might end up here) - Know nothing about it.

trash. (Hesitant to add this) - Lesbians assassins! Brutal series, from what I've read.

Hen - Know nothing about it.

Destro 246 (Hopefully it ends up here) - Lesbian assassins. Yuri as a very small subplot

Licensed:

Stray Little Devil - Pretty standard shounen, but with yuri!

Maka-Maka - Bisexual. Tough to quantify, though it objectively has amazing full-color artwork, and very realistic characters.

Kashimashi - Gender-bender yuri.

Voiceful - Very tepid.

Girl Friends

Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry-Blossom Pink

Sweet Blue Flowers

Happy-Go-Lucky Days Volume 1 - Mostly het/yaoi, but there are a handful of yuri stories, including one about adult roommates that is really, really sweet. Though I'm not quite sure if it's volume 1 or volume 2.

Doujinpress also has a decent selection, though a few things labelled Yuri are more like Friendship. Some is western, some is not, most are derivative.

Ajichi has had several works featured on Gen Manga titled Plastic Blue, Urameshiya, and You Make Me Dizzy.

Western "not really yuri" yuri:

Sunstone - More info here

Before You Go - Have to buy to read. By-the-numbers yuri about two girls who meet on a train, originally ran in Sparkler Monthly.

Maybe should also list the ones that will be taken down one day, like Citrus and Akuma no Riddle.

Thanks for the list. I have pretty much every yuri manga in could find more or less accurately tagged on my MAL account. Hope it's okay to link that here, if not just say so and I'm gonna edit it out.

Most of the ones I haven't read yet are speculation or based on statements I found around the internet. Maybe I'll change that link into an actual, copy-able list but CTRL F tells me that the word Yuri is used 627 times on that list so maybe not.

And don't read Hen, guys. Just don't.

Yeah, now that you said that I remembered what was Hen, one of the worst yuri ever made, I don't understand why it lasted 8 volumes, it's not worth even one...

So long as the scanlators keep them up on their site(s), we'll keep them up here. Thus, they won't be added (unless I'm mistaken and missed some announcement by the scanlators).

I thought any licensed manga would be taken down, so does that mean that most of the mangas that were taken down are the ones translated by Lililicious?

The decision to remove a series or oneshot is 100% up to the scanlator and/or publisher. If we are not asked to take it down, and the scanlator does not remove it, it will remain here. Lililicious chooses to respect U.S. licensing copyrights - as do many other groups - so their work is removed when it is licensed.

Blue Friends is a great story. Blue Friends 2nd Season is also interesting but nowhere near as good. Out of curiosity though, why is it that nothing from Yurikai can be hosted here? I haven't really seen anything that explains it and the group looks to be pretty much dead now too.

Frankly, I find the matter with Nobara no Mori no Otometachi a tad annoying. It's obvious Yurikai has pretty much ditched the project, likely due to real life. RL is of course more important, so in that case, they should release the raws to Yuri Project or something, for them to scanlate, instead of hoarding for credit, forgetting that scantalating doesn't mean that one is suddenly now part owner of the manga. The credit strictly belongs to the hard work of the mangaka and/or associated publisher. Understandably, it's sometimes easy to forget that. So it helps to remember.

They were invited to join the reader at its inception, and declined.

Assuming raws are readily available, Yuri Project or any other group is welcome to pick them up - Yurikai is hardly hoarding the series. Like the dozens of other abandoned projects before it - Horobi no Michi comes to mind - there just doesn't appear to be any interest in continuing it. Even if raws aren't available, the costs in acquiring them wouldn't be particularly special anyway.

Ah, I suppose that makes sense then. They might have thought the reader wouldn't go anywhere. Has anyone thought about asking once more if they can get in contact with them? Might be worth a shot if it means there's a chance stuff like Blue Friend can be seen by more people.

Thank you for this post, as I didn't see the original. This shall be useful in my efforts to consume all the yuri ever.

kashimashi has one of the worst ending i ever read, that's a matter of taste, but i'm not sure to call it yuri,

they tell me about a yuri sport manga about football, but i'm not sure if it's yuri, or only subtex, however, if it's good, it could be a great addition to C3BU, girl und panzer, and the like,
i can't remember the title, only that there was a ! in it, i have to look for it in the cronology

oh... i remember voiceful, it's sweet, and really good for the spirit... i think i re-read it now

@ alice cheshire: your nick come from the book or from a (strange) manga i read just yesterday?

found it: the name is Mai ball! (not my ball, the famous and fun hentai), baka-update says that there's no traslation, but from the description seems fun

Randomly stumbled upon a yuri webtoon ( NSFW ) when browsing a chinese scan site, only 1 chapter.

Everybody says Hen is absolute trash but can anybody who has sifted through it spoil me the ending so I can stop being curious about it?

MC repeatedly bangs a supposedly gay guy and runs off pregnant with her girlfriend.

You're probably looking for Bamora! So far, it's not yuri and there is no indication it's going to be.

e: Never checked for your edit. :(

I was thinking that this stuff should at least be listed on the reader. That way, people can use dynasty to find works that aren't uploaded here for whatever reasons. You do this for licensed series after all.

Assuming you actually mean Alice in Wonderland (most people assume that my name being Alice comes from Touhou annoyingly) then the book, yeah.

My Avatar is from the Code Geass spin off, Oz the Reflection. The ones in the picture are Oldrin and Marrybell, and though they are 'implied' to be together in the time of the picture, currently Oldrin has lost a lot of her memory, and doesn't like the Marrybell she sees on the TV, and Marrybell I think slept with her brother. She had him use his Geass so he appeared to be Oldrin though. But earlier it's implied Marrybell pines over the brother. So I'm not sure how yuri it is, and it hasn't been translated yet, so I don't know how applicable is for this list. I ship it though.

If you want to find out more, there's a thread for it on fanfiction, one on animesuki and some stuff scattered about.

edit: shares the space with a lot of Akito stuff, so that's usually in the title.

I thought it was familiar, do you have a link for it? If I search for it myself I will want to save everything I find...

I already read about it sometime ago, it's already over with 5 volumes, I don't want to search about it again, can you give more spoiler about it? Specially the ending, but I doubt it go beyond subtext.
