Forum › Looking for good yuri
Hello everyone.
I'm kinda starting to get sick of trying to find stories that I actually want to read. If anyone can recommend me a yuri that:
- Shows couple's life. I don't mind if they don't start as a couple, but I wish to read something that shows how their are doing after getting together.
- Is overall focused on slice of life/comedy. I don't mind angst or drama, as long as it's not next forced to break up/love triangle driven drama. I'm tired of those boring cliche. I want to see some real problems.
Mangas off the top of my head, that would be a good examples of what I'm looking for:
Octave
Hanjuku Joshi
Collectors springs to mind.
Akiko has quite a few oneshots and connected oneshots about couples so you might just wanna look through her stuff on here. This for example is really good, the first I think 3 chapters focus on a couple helping another girl get the girl.

My lists are mostly comedy/slice of life stuff, but just to name a few (originals) favs.
And ofc, the best:

Read Kase-san and Poor Lips didn't quite click with me, but I might give it a second chance. Damn it seems my fears are coming true. I already read all good yuri T__T
Most of Gokujo Drops take place after they've become a couple, and it's comedy to boot.
Most yuris does indeed end right when they become a couple so i'm having trouble remembering some
Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry-Blossom Pink by Morinaga Milk does come to mind though, however it is licensed so you won't get to read it here
Mugen no Minamo ni - Horror/drama but happy end
Love Flag Girls
Torotoro Himeawase
Michiwarikusa Monogatari: Vampire After the Doomsday - Only one chapter translated but there are a total of 7 released so far.

hey! this is exactly my issue with yuri now lmao I've gotten so tired of the same formulas (cliches) over and over and over that it's like come on!! give me something different it!! As well as I hate that about 80% of them end right after they JUST finally got together after ALL THE DRAMA AND ANGST THEY PUT US THROUGH to only end it there!!. It's like COME ON!! what about after they get together?! If anything the real challenge starts NOW!! having to now live with the fact that they have to pay attention to another person's feelings, not just their own. having to come in terms with their real personalities (since after all now is when you actually get to know them!). What about the problems of thinking about the future?! Then we go to the good parts like getting even more closer to eachother than ever before. Getting to the point where you know your partner like the back of your hands!! Even having fights is ok sometimes!! doing cute couple things!! moving in together if they are adult!! Hey I wouldn't even mind having some drama in terms of jealousy with your partner you for herself! Sometimes its cute in couples (AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T GO OVER BOARD LOL). Family! Getting some family back story!! How they get along with each others family ...sigh so much material and yet we barely see any of this happen..

Collectors is on my radar D:
Probably should jump right on this one. To me it's currently the pinnacle of non-school girl yuri with the couple long past the get together thing (told in some flashbacks).
And the only one that wasn't mentioned that I can think of is 20-Year-Old Girl x 30-Year-Old Maiden but chances are you have already read that one.

Hey I wouldn't even mind having some drama in terms of jealousy with your partner wanting only for yourself. Sometimes its cute in couples (AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T GO OVER BOARD LOL). sigh
This has been a longstanding complaint around here and especially with me as well lol...

Yea, I read it already ^ ^"
About not much different yuri to choose from. That is exactly the reason I started to coming up with my own stories xD. So far I have solid material for one really long series (over 30 chapters at least), one 4 chapters short series, 12 oneshots and ideas for 4 other longer series, but they still need a lot of work. Honestly, currently all I need for them to become real is to learn how to draw at any acceptable level. If you guys are interested in that, I can give you some plot summary examples.
Anyway, thank you all for your responds <3

Ah that is easy, Fluttering Feelings, and nothing but Fluttering Feelings. That matches all the things you want.
Hello everyone.
I'm kinda starting to get sick of trying to find stories that I actually want to read. If anyone can recommend me a yuri that:
- Shows couple's life. I don't mind if they don't start as a couple, but I wish to read something that shows how their are doing after getting together.
- Is overall focused on slice of life/comedy. I don't mind angst or drama, as long as it's not next forced to break up/love triangle driven drama. I'm tired of those boring cliche. I want to see some real problems.
Mangas off the top of my head, that would be a good examples of what I'm looking for:
Octave
Hanjuku Joshi

Well I'm reading it already and starting to get sick off it. They aren't even a couple yet >.> (didn't read 37 yet, but still) It started really well and I don't mind slow build up, but common =.=

I'd be kinda weird if yiou haven't read them already but I guess Aoi Hana and Sasameki Koto kinda fit? The Princess's Mirror even though it's half fake and Girlfriends too, I guess.Haven't read Aoi Hana for a while so I don't know how long they are actually in a relationship until the manga ends but I think it was like one vokume in Girlfriends and one or two volumes in Sasameki Koto.
I know right ;/
I remember reading at least 1 oneshot from it. I'd have to check if I read rest.
I barely remember the other oneshots from it, but there's a main couple in that book that gets more chapters and later on they got their own book with the same name if i'm not mistaken, they get together in the first chapter and the story keeps going from there
I recommend Girl x Girl x Boy
It has a quite satisfying ending and for once, the male character is a decent person.
Ohana Holo Holo is one of my faves, partly because they're not a typical romantic couple.
I suggest starting with a search through Adult life groupings and one-shots.
Really though, with those requirements, I can't think of anything that tops the afore-mentioned Collectors.
