Also it was so unnecessary, like if author wanted to have a one sided dramatic and problematic love arc involving sisters you had Hajime, Momoka and the deceased sister/ex girlfriend right there...or if they wanted to explore Miki's character through love, why don't make best friend doomed yuri...why incest.
I kind of hold this opinion too. The whole incest thing, well, is what it is, but it didn't need to be included to explore the themes the author wanted. At the very least back when I started this series I didn't expect to see an incest plotline lol.
We all know it's not ending here.
If you can bear copious amounts of het content with a bland unlikable male protagonist, then go ahead I guess. Skipping the sexual content at least makes the VN 30% more bearable in my opinion. But what happened in it is no less canon unfortunately...
I will point out that the male protagonist doesn't have any romance in Ethica's route (and with the H-scenes removed, the route as a whole is clean of het and futa). I don't really think the True Ending (where you have to play the het routes) is a must-need since it didn't have much content or ramifications for Ethica and her girlfriend that were different from her route's ending.
Just searching up a guide and just playing Ethica's route is an acceptable option in my opinion. It has a reasonably long playtime (~10-15 hrs) and is probably the most enjoyable (well, if you like this type of VN) route anyways even when disregarding the yuri.
Anyway... moving onto other things, I think the translation for Ever Maiden might be in hot water. The company has gone completely radio silent for almost one and a half years despite the localization originally being slated for release in 2024. I'm not familiar with how these things work, so assuming the worst case scenario, does Love Lab take the rights with them to limbo or can someone else smoothly pick it up later on?

Tokyo Necro... I dislike it strongly and had hoped nobody would ever force me to put it on the recommendation list.
I don't think you can downplay that this is more of a het VN than a yuri VN, it is nowhere near 50% yuri and at that indulges in way too much het and futanari rape scenarios which you can't even properly avoid most of the time. You can't possibly believe anybody is just gonna stick to the Ethica route exclusively when the true ending involving her and her girlfriend is locked behind playing through all the routes.
I cannot in good conscience EVER recommend it to a yuri fan looking for a yuri game, but for those with more general tastes it might be fine.How comforting to know that the era where we had to rely on this kind of garbage have long passed. Comparing this to katahane is kind of insulting to katahane...
Anyway, I will add it to the list. Let people see your recommendation post and figure out themselves if they are willing to risk it.
Er, sorry.
Also, I'll add a rundown similar to the other recommendations on this thread
Duration: The full vn is Long (40-45 hours) but I’m assuming people reading this thread want to play it for the yuri-focused content, which is Medium in length (10-15 hours).
Gameplay: Basically Kinetic. There’s only two choices you can make that can lead to four endings (and the True Ending, if you play through all four). One of them focuses on the female protagonist Ethica, so if you just want to play that route make sure to search up a guide.
Yuri: Majorly Yuri. The game isn’t focused on romance but the female lead is openly lesbian and has sexual encounters with a couple other female characters throughout the story. There is only one endgame romance option and I feel the relationship itself could be fleshed more, but I still think the route was satisfying. The start of the game seems to lean more on the male MC's side but as things progress screentime flips back and forth more evenly.
Version: You can get the JastUSA version or Steam version. The former contains everything in its uncensored glory while the latter cuts out sex scenes and violent scenes.
Sexual content: Het scenes are greatly minimized but still present in Ethica's route if reading the 18+ version. The yuri scenes are a mix of vanilla and BDSM, though there are two rape scenes in other routes.

Tokyo Necro (https://vndb.org/v13666)
I would recommend Tokyo Necro, a zombie cyberpunk visual novel by Nitroplus. It’s a high-budget vn with great worldbuilding and atmosphere. It’s very similar to Katahane in the sense that the perspective changes between the male MC and the openly lesbian MC who share equal screen time: you get het romance and H-scenes with So’Un and yuri romance and H-scenes with Ethica. Therefore, while the focus of the game isn’t on romance, the game being ~50% yuri content puts it pretty comfortably in the “Majorly Yuri” section.
Unfortunately (being a Nitro+ game), there are a couple non-con (both yuri and het) scenes. If you play Ethica’s route you can avoid nearly all of the het and non-con scenes save for three (they don't involve her or any of her love interests if that matters). I didn’t care for this type of content either and getting the censored version of the game on Steam is a good idea to avoid it. The H-scenes are very much skippable and don’t really add anything to the story.
Most of the yuri romance is tied to the route focusing on Ethica (which is one of four main routes), so if you’re reading it for the yuri you should look at a guide. I would actually say that this was the best route of the game, not just because of an obvious bias, but because the developments in it were much more compelling compared to the others (and many people who reviewed the game held this opinion as well). It was very dramatic and emotional, and had a very surprising twist for one of the characters who was important to Ethica's story.
The game outside of the yuri was pretty appealing if you like thrillers. The setting, worldbuilding, themes of life and death, and characters kept me very engaged throughout the VN. The visual novel definitely focuses on trying to be a spectacle, with decent action sequences and even 3D-animated fight scenes. There were even a lot of nice immersive touches when it came to the user interface and menu. Ultimately I would recommend this game for people who want to play something with more spectacle, but there probably should be a disclaimer for a lot of blood and gore due to the nature of killing zombies in addition to the previously mentioned sexual content.

I really did not expect the volume 6 cover to go all in on the mama thing fuuko has going on.
Yuri has peaked.

damn a callback to chapter one this manga gonna end soon isn’t it </3
I do wonder how much longer this series is going to go.
I thought that the author might just wrap things up after they got their official prom kiss (like a lot of high school yuri), but personally I think (hope) we might get an extensive look at their dating or even post-graduation life.
Alas, everlasting flowers was really disappointing for me in terms of the yuri.
Well, I guess it's yuri in the sense that there's a strong platonic friendship but there's no romance (which was incorrectly tagged on vndb at the time I read the VN). There is some subtext if you're into that but just a heads up to other people.
Also, is this thread still alive?
