Silly me, i forgot to post what i came for in the first place.
I'm looking for that delicious typical contrast of yuri with a "plain girl" and a "flashy girl".
I want it all! The Fashionista x plain girl, The classic "Gyaru x Otaku", the serious honor student or diligent class rep x Bratty girl, the bimbo with the nerdy girl, the geeky girl x fashion one, the stoic overachiever with the carefree valley girl, the overly friendly gal who take a liking to the gloomy friendless girl, the quiet bookworm and the pushy extroverted girl. the popular school-queen with the "boring" invisible one.
Whichever of them as the top or assertive one is fine.
Prefereably the dynamic between the two and their contrasting personality/interests should be in focus.
I don't mind if it's a bit stereotypical.
Basically if you got something where that bratty cheerleading-squad captain you see in cliché americans high-school settings was dating the stereotypical glasses-wearing nerdy girl with braces, give it to me.
If you got something where the cold and studious student council president set her sight on the trendy girl, give it to me!
Bonus point if they have contrasting hair colors.

I don't mind some tension or drama, but no tragic or super-bleak stuffs please. Aside from that, any tone is fine.
ah, and i used school tropes as example because that's where theses tropes appears the most frequently, but i'm fine with women of any age as long as it fits the criteria. In fact, it's even better if you something with adults with the dynamic.

PS: speaking of forgetting, @naike34, I remembered that I also wanted to direct you to Ma Chérie
it's a short One shot, but there is a girl with fluffy long hair.(Content warning, though, it starts with the other girl cutting hers XD). I thought of it Saturday before going to bed, but forgot when typing my post yesterday.
Not as long and fluffy, but this one got a nice ponytail.

Idk if this is too niche but do any of you know any yuri where one or both of the girls have hair that's wavy/curly and has volume and/or texture? Like Nadeshiko from "Please notice me, Hinako-san!" or Kyougoku from "Nomura Nao and Kyougoku Hina" tyy

rather than being niche, it's not necesarilly something most will keep in mind. i knowi i've seen things with fluffy hairs a few times, but can't remember where on top of my head.

The sketchy artstyle might not do it, but maybe check Snake Woman and Little Miss Offering.

i'll post if i remember any.

A comedy manga, at least from feb 2019 or earlier, that has a ''straight'' girl and another woman saying things like ''What is this lesbian (I'm assuming) doing?'' ''Although we're more than friends but not quite fellow lesbians.'' ''There are lesbian feelings even underneath being straight''. I only have screenshots of those panels and I don't even remember what it was about ;_;

That sounds like something that could be said in A Straight Girl Wanders Into a Lesbian Mixer where a (not so straight) girl go to a lesbian mixer.
If that's not it try posting the screenshots you have, someone would probably recognize the art.

A classic setup, but it always works.

Hey Collectors looks right up my alley!^^ Too bad they don't actually get officially married but whatever, the dynamic is more imporant!

Glad I could be at least a little helpful

Plot twist, it's her girlfriend who is the gayest person in the world.

Okay that is indeed a very thight one.
In fact, can't think of anything on top of my head. And I'm not sure I've even seen that (aside from maybe one shots).
"Our journey to lesbian motherhood" is autobiographical, and thus pretty grounded. And it's about, as the title states, a couple becoming mothers so it might interest you.

Though it's not exactly what you're asking for, you might be interested in "Collectors" by Nishi Uko. Established couple and it's more grounded, not on the very moe cutesy side of things.
"The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This" by Ikeda Takashi also follows a couple, a bit cuter than Collectors, but not too much IIRC.

One where the couple is married?

Doesn't matter if they got married before the story began, at the beginning, or in the middle, as long as it's not at the last chapter.

To help with that, is what you're looking for in the story:
a) The dynamic of a married couple, as in a story of a established couple that has settled with each other long term. At which point something where the character are not married on paper, but are for all intents and purposes would interest you.
or
b) The official statute of marriage itself being a prominent theme that is brought up and discussed or commented on in the story?

Oh, it's this artist!
I just clicked on the title without putting two and two together, but then I immediately thought "of course! this ship, with theses tags..."

I'll check After the Curtain Call (already knew the other two). Thx.

What a deep, close, intense friendship!

Oh I was thinking about these two just a couple hours ago.

You definitely would like "Hogushite, Yui-san". Wholesome idiots-falling-in-love story of two black company office workers helping each other relax in a stressful work environment.

Seems like a good one. Thanks

I usually don't ask for recommendations but i'm going to try it a couple time for now.
I just finished Model & Manager-san, Anyone got a yuri manga with this kind of dynamic? where one of the character is kinda being pampered by the other (or they mutually does it to each other). Like how Yuria likes being praised by Okabe when she does a good job and is a little clingy, and Okabe is kinda taking care of her.
I'm not mad about nsfw elements if they fit but preferably i'm looking for this kind of calm wholesome pace.

Fly by Yuri

I had a strange dream where Orange Pekoe from Girls und Panzer was giving a lecture or strategy meeting on tanks, then In the middle of it she started talking about yuri then moved to talking about Dynasty-scans.
Guess reading GuP doujins before going to bed made my brain mix things up.

Nice little one shot, exactly what I wanted.
Haruko looks cute with short hair.

BDSM ?

For me Quiet shy girl x flashy popular girl is always appreciated.

Well she is telling the truth.

^^ no no, it's not the title. Unrequited yuri love is a unrelated Manga by Yurikago (where the yuri isn't unrequited either).
This picture was probably just uploaded under that serie by accident.

A efficient way to not touch each other's hands would be to grab on something... Like a back, or an ass, or legs.

Well, well, well... who would have thought that the power of the glasses would be what they needed to advance things?
I mean, I have thought, of course, do not underestimate the glasses moe.

That fluffy tomboy's fangs are peak cuteness.

Personally, the fact that japanese authors could, and have, written something like this completely straight without the slightest socioeconomical consciousness is... ...
here, modern Japan, the political-technological elites, called the "backbone" of the country, send their daughters to a private school where they act and dress like idealized 1600's european noblewomen, in order to become "noble ladies", and the mc even says she was a fucking "commoner".
This kind of stuff makes me just about as angry as boys in manga make people in comment sections of het tags, and I hope that these girls smash more than just their private music sessions together, show how fucked up these premises are, but they probably won't.

You do know that the whole "ojou sama" tropes, as used in mangas/anime nowadays is ironical and self-aware in the first place?
It's a exageration of the (less ironical, but also thus far less ridiculously noble-like) depictions of refined all-girls school in works from the 20th century that were themselves inspired from actual schools from the earlier 20th century.

That's why they use exaggerations like "commoners" and act as if it was Victorian Great Britain. That's the joke.
Not only that, but the whole premise seems to be to break said setting. The chapter ending with a character flipping a bird the size of a ostrich seems like a pretty clear indication of the author's intentions. And to that end, making the "proper lady school" that exaggerated reinforce the contrast.
Yes, there are prestigious private school In Japan, but nowhere anything near or close to the over the top ojou-sama school seen in Mangas.
No japanese person reading this today would actually take it at face value anymore than say... A French person reading a comic about a school where everyone act like it's the Renaissance.

Don't get me wrong, there are definitely some manga and animes, and especially Light Novel tropes that could use some critical thinking, but that's really not the one to be overthinking about.
