Forum › Yuri Manga Recommendations
is please leave my house on dynasty or under an untranslated name? i can't find it in the directory
can someone recommend me a yuri manga with more than 50 chapters? The most I've read before was less than 40, but maybe it's just me starting out with short yuri mangas. I found Hino-san no baka, but if there's any more yuri mangas that long I'd like to give it a read. I don't really have a genre I'm particularly fond of, so long as they're sfw or ecchi is minimized
A Room For Two
Kase-san + Yamada to Kase-san (technically at 49 chapters at the moment, but still ongoing)
Hana ni Arashi
Miss Sunflower
Shinmai Shimai no Futari Gohan
The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This
Living with My Brother's Wife.
Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita!
Slow Start
A-Channel
The Demon Girl Next Door
Fuzoroi no Renri
Tadokoro-san (web comic) / Tadokoro-san
Bright and Cheery Amnesia
Sasameki Koto
A Kiss And A White Lily
Citrus if you include Citrus +And I have to add Bloom Into You as the greatest manga in existence, even if it's only 45 chapters (although the 5 extras do push it right up to the required 50)
Thank you so much!!
Hello! I'm looking for a reccomendation of a yuri manga that is a slowburn, with a descreet amount of drama, that leads towards a sensual/sexual elements, not necessarily the ending. One example might be "Girfriends" but even stuff with bad endings could be good. The condition is that it shouldn't be explicit from the start.
Anything that comes to mind?Have you tried "After school love affair"? Or "Please leave my house"? Btw both of this are on going
I would prefere something that's completed! But I'll look it up! Thanks!
Been recently getting into the Touhou fandom (kind of late to the party) so any recs for Touhou doujin/oneshot works? Doesn't necessarily have to be yuri and also preferably something that explores character interactions and more on the serious/intense side of things (I do like a bit of angst here and there).
An example being Passion for your sake, which I recently stumbled upon was a pretty fun and painful read (in a good way).
For a while I've been biased against older yuri. It just seems consistently worse, less serious and certainly less in touch with lesbian themes. Akiko Morishima is completely the exception. I'm posting here to recommend specifically her Office Romance series, which is 10/10 for me every single chapter. While her works about teenagers are good, this is one is incredibly timeless and sweet, and it features luxurious wedding dress symbolism.

Awesome. I would recommend anything by Shinoasa, very strong themes of romance and immortality. Eternity Crying Bird and Moon River (included on the same page) are very epic and explore the relationship between Kaguya and Mokou (and various others) in significant detail. Koge Masaki does a certain flavour of expressive comedy that I really enjoy, it is comedy though! It's been way too long for me to recommend too much of my very-dated favourites list beyond these, but there's a lot there already, I hope!
Wanted to briefly shout out The Girlfriend Project on Tapas (https://tapas.io/series/the-girlfriend-project) as being fantastic so far. Both the leads are great, too. Requires purchase past the 5th chapter, but I found it to be worth it.
My current favorite series is actually Bai Lijin Among Mortals (available on Bilibili Comics up to ch 70 and manga aggregators up to ch 112). The main couple in that are so good.
Both worth considering if you are somebody like me, who has devoured all Yuri that exists with such ferocity that there is nothing left, so any new title you do find is a precious resource.

Is there anything close to fluttering feelings by Ssamba (RIP). It's really my kind of slow burn, too bad the author wasn't able to finish such great work.

I read a whole article about this and yet I still came here unsure of what term I'm supposed to use (lol), but I'm looking for recommendations for novels involving F/F romance, without that meaning that the primary genre has to be romance though. I'm curious about adventure (in either a fantasy or realistic setting) and sci-fi stories, but historical drama or slice-of-life would also be good. I don't really mind the age of the characters, but I don't want an age gap romance. Incest is also out (note: step-sisters who haven't grown up together are okay). Oh, and no vampires/werewolves please. NSFW scenes are okay, but not as the main focus.
I'd rather it be available online ('cause I can't afford to have them in my library for a number of reasons...), so webnovels and amateur original works are more than welcome, as long as they are completed.
Separate from this, I'm also looking for stories involving sisters (again, not incest). This actually started because I watched Her Blue Sky recently, and I thought that the relationship between the two sisters was really sweet. No real restrictions for this one, just looking for some heart-warming sisterly love —not meaning that it can't have some angst too, of course. This request refers to manga, anime or novels of any genre.

Not much LGBT romance pops up in my book readings but This Is How You Lose the Time War was pretty cool.

As for what to call it, there's a lot of answers and it usually depends on where it is from. Western fan fiction and amateur works often use F/F, femslash, or WLW. Western published novels tend to be under Lesbian Fiction (shortened to Lesfic by fans), though the Girls' Love (GL) term is finally gaining some ground outside amateur circles, especially on online platforms. Manga, manhua, and manhwa usually use Yuri (which you probably already know).
I've read a good 400 or so Lesfic novels in the past 5 years, more if we count amateur works. Personally, I tend to avoid fantasy and sci-fi settings in general because most of the Lesfic novels I've read in those subgenres are not particularly great. It seems like the genre isn't mature enough in this particular area, and even some of the mildly popular stuff feels like self-insert power fantasy, which can really take me out of things. That said, it's obviously not all bad (nor is this problem endemic to Lesfic, see popular mainstream titles like Ready Player One for non-GL examples).
Anyway, here's a few of my favorites that fit your requirements, spread out among different themes:
* The Lily and The Crown - One of my favorite Lesfic stories of all time, and it is even Sci-Fi. It manages to capture some really unique emotional spaces and situations, and it comes up in my thoughts periodically even years after reading it. There is a bit of age gap between the characters but... it isn't ever really relevant, and the younger lead is still in her 20s.
* Poppy Jenkins - Nice little romance novel about a quiet Welsh town.
* Chasing Stars - Superhero romance. Good change of pace.
* Gideon The Ninth - This is the least romance-focused suggestion, but it is so unique and interesting I would have considered reading it even if there wasn't any romance at all.
* About That Kiss - One of many Hollywood/actress-focused romance novels. This is my personal favorite of that setting.
* Tryst Six Venom - This is a really weird one because the leads start off hating each other so strongly. I almost stopped reading about a quarter of the way in, but it actually kind of became an odd favorite.
Also after typing up this post, I remembered there is a dedicated thread here for Lesbian Fiction in other media, which probably has a lot more book suggestions, though I do remember that it focused a lot on movies and TV shows.

Yeah, that's a good one. If we're recommending light novels; A Lily Blooms in Another World is decent and I'm In Love With The Villainess is fantastic.

This one does seem like it could be kinda cool. It was interesting how you couldn't tell the gender of the characters from the description. (Also, I found out it's available in a store in my city, and now I'm getting very tempted to buy a physical copy...)
As for what to call it [...]
I kinda avoided the term lesbian fiction, because I thought it may seem restricted to lesbian-identifying women, which was not a requirement. I guess GL could have worked, but it didn't cross my mind since I've associated it with comics.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the recommendations (I'm happy they all had different themes as well) and also for telling me about the thread with lesfic in other media. I'll be sure to check them out!
@luinthoron
I'm guessing you used a shortened title to search for it and then copy-pasted the whole thing... right? RIGHT?? XD
I'll give it a try, thanks.

Seeing how much the manga of I'm in Love with the Villainess has irritated me already, I definitely need a break from that one, but I'll look into your other recommendation.
Can anybody suggest a yuri manga with a historical setting? I've read Her tale of shim chong some time before and I was craving to read something similar but set in Japan.
I started reading A Love Letter for the Marching Puppy last week and caught up with what's currently uploaded on Dynasty (the White Garden translation). Set in an early-20th-Century fictional all-female military academy, if that's historical enough for you. Has some of the cutest lead characters ever and so far has been pretty good. Kinda cliché but overall quite enjoyable.

I don't need to search, I have both MAL lists open at all times (and thanks to the quotation marks, this is literally the first on the manga side). :P
There is this manga "My sister's bestfriend, my lover", the manga is already here on Dynasty Scan but only updated till chapter 4 while the raw-scan is already chapter 8 here:
I wonder when this gem is getting pick up and continue translated. I really like the story of the manga, and the art is beautiful, too.
Yuri Manga is a huge fan of anime and manga. He loves watching shows like "Pokemon", "Digimon", "Yu Yu Hakusho", "Dragonball Z", "Bleach", "Naruto", etc. He even draws some of these characters himself.
are there any other yuri manga like If I Could Reach You (Tatoe Todokanu Ito da to Shite mo)? if there are, please link them quoting me !! ^_^
(basically something like a manga that pierces your heart several times but at the end your heart gets restored)

Looking for media (manga or otherwise) with asexual character(s). Preferably a series over a one-shot, but I'll take those too. I don't care if it's gay, het, trans, aromantic, demisexual, gray ace. Just looking for anything at all. I'd even be okay with subtext as long as there's a better reason to believe a character is ace beyond "doesn't pursue sex".
Preference would be character(s) that aren't minor characters, of course, but if it comes right down to it I'd accept one if they were a recurring character.
An example of a character I personally see as ace without the creator outright saying it is Kasumi from A Room For Two, or even Sakurako since there's a good enough case for her being demisexual as far as I'm concerned. In fact, I'll probably reread that for the umpteenth time regardless of whether I get any suggestions or not lol

Is fanfiction okay? And if so, are there any fandoms you'd be particularly interested in? I have a variety of suggestions for fanfic that would fit the bill, but they'd obviously benefit greatly from context, most of the time.
Off the top of my head the best ones I can think of are for Persona 5 Royal and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. If I put a bit more thought into it I could probably think up a couple more P5 fanfics and a handful of Love Live! fanfics. Probably some Fire Emblem: Three Houses ones too. Outside of those four... I'd have to take a moment to come up with other fandoms I've participated in, since I haven't really been actively looking for things in the fanfic scene lately outside of a handful of individual stories.
Unfortunately I'm not as familiar with F/F literature that isn't like... manga or fanfic. Or fanfic of manga. I guess I hear recommendations for Adachi and Shimamura? Or at least I think they're recommendations, they might be complaints, it's hard to tell sometimes.

That's pretty much every yuri series, except rather than your heart being pierced, it's more like having a migraine that gets worse and worse as you become more and more frustrated with the characters, and instead of getting any sort of restoration at the end, you're just left with an overwhelming sense of disappointment.
I might be a little bitter. And jaded. Probably from reading too much yuri.
Maybe Citrus? I've never read it but people certainly have a love-hate relationship with it, so it probably pierces your heart at least a few times. Maybe not in the way you're looking for though, I don't know.
I also haven't read Bloom into You (yeah yeah, I know) so I don't know if it matches what you're looking for exactly, but considering it's a highly successful, critically acclaimed manga, with a highly successful, critically acclaimed anime adaptation means it probably has it's fair share of well-written drama.
Maybe something by Neji. She's among my favorite yuri authors, and I've read everything she made thats been scanlated. I wouldn't call her work the most dramatic necessarily, but it's not just 100% light-hearted all the time. Except Wani-san, who is good at his job and a very good crocodile.
Recommendations for Neji's work that might meet your criteria would include the recently concluded Beauty and the Beast Girl and Welcome to the Prison Town.
Might check out Canno as well. A Kiss and a White Lily is a classic. I'm hesitant to recommend An Easy Introduction to Love Triangles (To Pass the Exam!), but that's only because I felt that the ending was rushed and unsatisfactory. Other than that though, it was pretty good, and tackled polyamory in a way that wasn't "haha, harem go brrr," which is nice.
Kodama Naoko for at least Seagull Villa Days. Seeing as I'm a horrible person, I could recommend Netsuzou Trap... but I'm not that horrible.
Octave is good, though there's a number of people who would disagree with me, but those people are wrong because only my opinion is valid.
Crescent Moon and Doughnuts is popular, and I think it matches your criteria, but I'm not 100% sure. I never finished Even If It Was Just Once, I Regret It but it seemed good from what I read.
And then there's two classics: Girl Friends and Sweet Blue Flowers, both of which have been licensed for English releases.
One of my personal favorites is Still Sick, but honestly it's more like the opposite of what you're asking for.
And lastly, Takemiya Jin basically only makes the kind of manga you want. (And I adore her art, too.)
(I also recommend Oddman 11, which is not at all what you're looking for and I'm just shilling it because I love the author for reasons.)
edit: lmao comparing my recommendations for manga compared to what I said about novels sort of illustrates the point I was making about not being very familiar with the world of F/F literature.

I don't really come across asexual characters often (and if I did I likely wouldn't notice if it was only subtext), but one of the main leads in Accept My Fist of Love! seemed ace to me (and I've seen many people agree with that take as well.)
There's also a character in Bloom Into You (**sendin' that link right back atcha**) that could definitely be read as aro/ace. He only has a supporting role in the story, but perhaps it's worth giving it a try if you don't find anything else.

I do follow Adachi and Shimamura, thanks. Unfortunately I'm not much of a fan of derivative works in general, and from the ones you mentioned I'm only familiar with Love Live anyway XD

How about Run Away With Me, Girl? (I'm pretty sure I've recommended this to someone looking for manga like If I Could Reach You in the past, now that I think about it...) Anyway, it's good, and I think it fits your criteria.
