One recommendation I forgot is the one-shot I Want To Lock You Up by Rokuroichi. It's like a masterclass in erotica.

Here's a question I've often pondered and would like to hear opinions on -- Do you believe it's possible for a male author to write heartfelt yuri? Or will that almost always degenerate into fan service and/or feel insincere by nature? It's obvious that most of the critical favorites are penned by females.

Uso Kurata's a guy and he wrote Present and Apocalypse might have turned out to be pretty heartfelt if it wasn't cancelled.

Is there a particular reason I never hear about Utena any more? Back in 1999, it was the first thing to cross people's lips when you mentioned yuri.

Utena isn't really yuri I think.

It's a parable,a tale, it's many things, including a same-sex relationship and how it challenges the "rules" of the utena world.

What's up everybody it's cr1tikal. I'm reading Qualia the Purple for the PC. Let's do this shit.

For me the standard could be varied depend on my mood,my preferences at the time and the series itself.

Here are few examples

Comedy- Yuri Mekuru Hibi
Drama - Octave
Porn - Ragnarock City

Love-Hate Feeling - A Midsummer Day's Resonance
Burnable Garbage - Happy End.

Shoujo Sect. It may not be flawless, it may not have the deepest characters but it still embodies the first things I think of when thinking Yuri as oppossed to a lesbian story

''I can play Paul Ankas Diana, come on girls give me a beat!''

Gunjo, Pieta, Octave, Free Soul, Sweet Lovin Baby, Indigo Blue, and Love My Life are my all time favorite. For pure fluff, I'll go with Kase-san and Legally Married Yuri Couple Book. For NSFW, I will recommend my favorite series, Maka Maka. The art, story, and the sexy scene are just great.

Okeyas stuff is awesome, if she did something original on a big scale it would be amazing
