I’m looking for the one where these girls meet at a hospital but then gets together after realizing one of the girls saw her as a romantic interest instead of a friend... I don’t remember the exact title, but was it called something along the lines of “kanojo libido?” If you have the exact title plz let me know. Thanks!

I remember really liking Fragtime when I first read it but those were my early days of yuri before my tastes improved over the years and re-reading it now it's an okay series with a meh ending. Could've been a better series but at least it's not garbage like NTR or Shitrus

Yes thank you!! I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates it. The long haired chick was such a hateful character too. Such a rushed ending for the concept. I also think they swiped an idea or two from Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Yay, finally got around to this one, completely forgot it existed. I'm on Chapter 9 right now, and, uh...is this "masterpiece" supposed to have this rough of a start? I'm sort of remembering now why I stopped for a while and completely forgot about it. It's a weird feeling having a story trying to give off the vibe of being mature while simultaneously having my suspension of disbelief slowly breaking as I go along; and this is before I inch ever closer to those Het tagged chapters. Oh boy, I can see this coming a mile away even without reading any of the comments based solely on how our protagonist has acted so far.

Edit: Also nine chapters in and it already made me realize that my age is inversely proportional to how "mature" I want any form of media nowadays. I can handle and preferred stuff like this years ago but now I need to take a break every few chapters with all these insecurities weighing down on me too much. Can our protag, like, chill and be happy, for at least half a chapter without finding something problematic? :(

This story is a very realistic one. I am guessing you’re used to stories with fluffy beginnings? But yes, the two main characters are both in the entertainment industry. The industry really is dark in a sense where women in higher up positions sexually harrass male entertainers, and where men in higher positions do the same to young female entertainers. I am also in the music industry business, and so are many of my peers. We do know that dark things happen behind all the glamour and happiness that is shown on TV. And I love that this manga does not lie about it. The main character (or both, in a way) have been somewhat mentally traumatized or twisted from the experience.

If you’re talking about the main character, however, she is only 18 and is just discovering her purpose in life and sexuality. We all made mistakes when we were teens

God I hated that girl with the long hair. Cool concept, but wasted on such an awful story. Anime adaptors sure pick the worst ones to adapt. Except for “Bloom into You” of course, that manga is good.

*The best shoujo ai/yuri:
-Love Doctor (this one was seriously good. Way better than expected)
-Tamen de Gushi
-Bloom into You (The best Romance, period. Better than most straight manga I’ve read. It’s just that good. Manga is wayyyy better than the anime)
-Aoi Hana
-Miss Sunflower
-Blooming Sequence
-Nettaigyo wa Yuki ni Kogareru (this one is ongoing but is also fucking good)
-Fluttering Feelings (Would have been god tier had the author lived. Unfortunately, she passed away from cancer. Rip :( )
-Otsu Hiyori’s Works. All of them are great.
-The Love that Won’t Reach

*So-So In Between Best and Worst:
-“I Wish You didn’t Exist” by Carbonara
-Girl Friends (the one by Morinaga Milk)

*”WORST-DO-NOT-READ” yuri lol:
-White Angels Have no Wings. When you mentioned worst yuri this was the very first one I had in mind.
-ALL OF Pito’s works! Her Pet, My Joy, etc. burn them all!
-Moto Momono’s works. Her works are incredibly unsettling in tone and there are dark undertones that rub people the wrong way sometimes. Her characters just have too much angst and most of the time they behave stupidly.
-NTR. Do not read this unless you want to cheer on a pair of shitty girls treat one another like shit and their boyfriends like shit.
-Scum’s Wish: This ain’t yuri at all. It’s a one sided thing from a side character...
-Citrus. I know people are gonna jab at me for this one, but there is too much unconcensual touching and making out in the beginning and middle that are fetishized. The fact that these horrible scenes are fetishized and the main character just gives into it sometimes triggers traumatic memories. The story is subpar as well. It’s a shame because Yuzu is actually one of the best Yuri characters I have ever known. She is the best written character in the manga. If you’re in it just for Yuzu, then by all means read it. She’s the only thing worth it. Why is this manga so popular?...
-What Does the Fox Say? Is porn. It’s your textbook definition of the traditional Lezhin webtoon: Lots of sex, lots of unnecessary drama, lots of angst, and family drama with companies involved. Every character is a bland, cookie cutter or hateful piece of shit and the story was ripped straight out of K-Dramas. Might be a savory piece for the guys though, if you’re just looking to beat your meat. The art has no fluidity whatsoever. They are just painted pretty mannequins posing in certain ways, it’s creepy. I suspect they are traced from the author’s photographs and not naturally drawn.
-I Fell in Love for the First Time: If you’re into pee licking fetish you might like it.
-15-Sai: Fuck this.
-Serenade: Ick. Avoid this like the plague at all costs.
-The Third Party: Written by a dude who knows nothing about lesbians (as admitted by himself at the epilogue) and writes some dumb typical shounen work that got him a prize (how the fuck did he get awarded for that work, I will never know). The art looks derpy and they all look cross eyed. The story is shit and most characters I want to strangle.

Sorry to be harsh on my criticisms, but I am honest and not gonna hide anything or bandwagon.

Oh? So that's the start of a new yuri love story!
I might not really understand how or why that senpai is falling for the protagonist but maybe later i'll find out...? >~<

The senpai loves her because based on hints, she saw that she is an ordinary human who doesn’t swoon over her popularity or beauty. I think the senpai wanted someone fresh, real, and honest. The protagonist is very blunt in her remarks and is true to what and who she is and that’s why the senpai likes her.

Oh god I fucking hate this series. It’s about some creepy af womanizer who “helps” people out in very unsettling ways. This series encourages people to think they cannot be special if they’re not born to be so. But everyone is an individual and they are unique and born with a talent. Fuck this manga.

I hope the sequel has less angst. The first series had wayy too much and it was painful to read through. Plus, I want to see Yuzu’s happy side more too. She is one of the best written yuri manga characters in history imo and I don’t want her to go to waste ;-)

but who's the top and who's the bottom

The short haired chick is the bottom obviously since the long haired one has authority to speak lol. It might be a different dynamic in bed tho lol

Hi there, not sure if you are still reading replies lol, but I can safely recommend:

-Love Doctor: There is no rape. The doctor’s ex lover and the doctor are going to have some tension between one another because of what happened in their past, but other than that it’s pretty good. I only recommend this manhwa. I’ve read everything there is and I hate every other one. I know people recommend “What Does the Fox Say?” But I hate that shit. Too much angst between grown women and unrealistic situations.

-I recommend you go to Comico and look there. They have more variety. Lezhin works imo are very limited and dark. I recommend Fluttering Feelings. An excellent manhwa. No rape, no drama, just two girls slowlt falling for one another. There is a small tidbit in the very beginning where a guy tries to strangle one of the main characters, but he quickly gets knocked in the head by another girl lol but there is no violence at all after that. Overall this manhwa has a very sweet and fluffy tone. Very slow and feels like you’re reading in a cafe. Only downside is, that it never ended because the author passed away from cancer :((((( But the reading experience until the last completed chapter is great.

Honestly I dislike the fact that people here are defending Namsu when she was equally at fault for jumping to conclusions and constantly accusing Hye Yeon of seducing Joy. She said a lot of nasty things to Hye Yeon, and pushed her around and kinda verbally harrassed her when she, if you observe closely, did nothing wrong. The REAL bad guy here is Joy, and ONLY Joy.

The chick with the glasses constantly reminds the two doofuses that Joy is not a healthy person to be around, but they do anyway, and hurts themselves in the process.

Hye Yeon never seduced Joy, and she didn’t rape her or sexually assault her either. In Asian countries, it is normal to take weird selfies together where girls are playfully holding hands or kissing or naked to show their buddies lol. I can say this as a Korean chick. Anyway, She was just a loyal “lapdog” of some sort who was stupid enough to believe that Joy was a good person.

This manga was made to show that people are not what they seem on the surface, and I was actually fond of the twist in which Joy was painted as the worst person ever. The manga teaches people that people who seem kind and too good to be true put up a facade to ignorantly validate themselves. Joy never cared about Namsu and Hye Yeon at all. She just needed people who depended on her to validate herself. Such facades are dangerous in real life.

Bottom line, every shitty thing that happened all points back to Joy. Had Joy directly told Namsu that it was all just an accusation and explained what had happened, none of this mess would have been made. But then again, Joy is an evil bitch who doesn’t consider others’ feelings so she didn’t have the heart to do something so simple for the sake of others. If you take a look at the ending, Hye Yeon does linger at the glasses chick’s words and seems to regret her choice, but her stupid loyalty is what keeps herself as Joy’s friend.
