Hello my peeps,

I have tried to find a specific trope (?) or idk the term but basically where the story surrounds the MCs, one is a conventionally unattractive girl (many would consider ugly) like how many characters would say “EWWWW SHES UGLY WHOD DATE HER?” She’s chubby, round face, and has curly hair i believe and the other MC is pretty, popular, and falls in love with the ugly MC. I’ve read it before, idk the name IT’S BEEN YEARS

Not the “Useless Princess,” the “ugly” MC has curly (?) hair

The curly hair and bullying makes me think of Mizuno and Chayama but aside from that it's not quite what you're describing.
This sounds vaguely familiar but I can't remember from where.
Was it a serie? A One-shot? Safe for work? Do you remember the characters Hair colors? I presume it was a Manga rather than a manhua or a western comic?

By the way this topic is the one when looking for a particular story.

"A Bouquet for an Ugly Girl," also known in Japanese as "Busu ni Hanataba wo," came to mind. but, I doubt that's what you're looking for, as Busu ni Hanataba wo isn't a yuri. :)

Would it be OK to ask for help with finding a manga I read on here a long time ago or should I just make a new thread for it?

It was about a gloomy dark haired girl. The other girl had light hair and had poor eye sight. Might have been blind. I believe it was snowing for most of the story. The one with poor eye sight inquires about the other girl's height and to try and figure out where her lips would be on her face for when she tries to kiss her.

I think it ends with the dark haired girl finally getting along with her sister. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I will understand if mods go ahead and delete this.

But while we're here, it sounds like it could be Dark Forest, White Road

Try taking a look at the Yuri Works General Election to get a good overview. It has a nice spread from the tooth rotting sweet to dark and gritty, from innocent to smutty, from grounded to fantastical, from contemplative to blunt and from pristine to taboo.

Besides that, if you're just "window shopping" to see what you like, browse the images to find some dynamics, aesthetics, pairings or series that interest you

There's plenty I could recommend, but as Zesc says, they are pretty much all listed over in the Yuri Work Election thread right now. Without knowing anything about your preferences, here's a couple general suggestions:

Keep an eye on the tags. If you find stories that really appeal to you, tags are one of the best ways to find similar stories (e.g., adult life, school life, &c). With advanced search, you can look tor combinations of tags, too.

<--- You can create multiple lists and choose which ones are shared, so some of us keep public lists (link under the avatar) intended for sharing stories we like.

In addition to what the others have already said, you might also want to just browse this thread itself for various posts for both general recommendations and answers to specific themes.

Also, you can never go wrong with Bloom Into You, the majority of readers here would probably suggest that one.

Does anyone have yuri with girls who do pastries?
I'm a pastry cook, that is my job.
I like doing pastries and also girls.
I'm perhaps a bit of a homo
so... is there yuri about pastries or that has girls who do pastries?
It's specific so I don't expect anything but I'm just curious
There was that one yuri about two girls making a bet to marry eachother if they don't find a partner after a couple of years, we follow them after their marriage and see their SOL and one of them in that couple was a pastry cook
Whisper me a love song kinda counts cause Himari makes pastries at the club but I already am reading that one

That would be Trying Out Marriage With My Female Friend and it's the only one I could think of for your request at the moment. Perhaps you could try the Bread tag? I'm certain I've come across other pastry cooks in yuri before, but I can't remember where at the moment.

And They Were Roommates

Cotton Candy Love it's in my opinion one of the cutest stories I've ever read, and so ahead of it's time in terms of subject matter.
I wish a sequel of sorts would've been released

Re: pastries, there are a few, mostly one-shots...
I'll Bring You Mille-Feuille might fit what you're looking for.
Two People and Three Cakes
Bitter Girl takes place between co-workers in a pastry shop.
Chocolat Orange and sequel revolves around a patisserie, though I don't recall any pastries.
Melon Melon is another by Takemiya Jin. Seems to be a frequent theme for her works.
I have images in my head of 2-3 others, but can't recall names or artists, and some of those might be individual chapters within longer works.

For longer works...
Chatting at the Amber Teahouse includes a prominent story arc about one of the characters becoming a pastry chef.

https://dynasty-scans.com/series/the_secret_recipe is a comedy about a high school cooking club, it's been a long time since I've read it, but I think they did make sweets.
i know I've read several stories involving girls and cakes or sweets (since it's seen as cute, moe-focused works will use semi-often uses it), but I'd need to remember if I had some involving a chef specifically.

Wow! Thanks a lot peeps!
I find it funny how pastries are seen as a girly thing to do nowadays
My pastry mentor is this 68 years old french chef who is going to retire soon and he keeps telling me about how surprised he is to see the shift in demographics interested in pastries as a profession! Before, especially in France, it was seen as a manly job and it was practically only ever men who got in professionally but slowly it started to shift and now there are lots of places where there are more female pastry chefs and cooks than there are males one. And he's also a bit surprised to see there are a small but not unnoticeable amount of queers (like me) joining the profession.
I don't know
I just like pastries a lot I hope my little fun fact isn't annoying anyone

Hi there, I'm pretty new here, and new to manga in general, but I have a tough time finding good Yuri manga. Could anyone give me some good general recommendations? Some of the stuff I like is:

I really enjoy cute / wholesome / slice of life stuff
Tragic Yuri is great
Romance, cute pairings, angst, idiot couples, etc

Not interested in:
Overly sexual / ecchi. (Cute bath scenes or earned romance scenes are good though!(
Incest, etc

I'd appreciate any of your favorites!

^^Oh, I'm french myself (though not a chef) so I've definitely seen the change in perception . Back in the early 2000s, the public perception was still such that if someone heard "professional chef" they'd think of a guy by default. Even if they weren't against women being chefs, It just was still not the expected.

https://dynasty-scans.com/series/wife_and_wife (cute everyday life of an
established couple)
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/strawberry_shake (very funny comedy yuri)
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/crescent_moon_and_doughnuts
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/kase_san
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/jewels (short, but adorable)
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/itoshi_koishi
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/collectors (this one have a bit more of a grounded feel).
https://dynasty-scans.com/anthologies/the_cherry_tree_correspondence
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/our_days_under_one_roof (autobiographical yuri)
https://dynasty-scans.com/series/honey_crush
Also check Morinaga Milk's stuffs.

There are a lot more, but that's a list.
